-Disclaimer-

I Don't want to talk about GG here, and I won't enter a discussion about it. I realise that the content of my NeoGaf posts are in regard to that, but what I wish to discuss is if that people think this was a fair ban or not. I wish is chat about if:

In other peoples opinion I pushed too hard on the subject

It appeared that I was being very mean to anyone involved and or trolling.

I deserved a ban because I broke a written rule.

With that said, let us begin.

-----------------------------------------------

My Username on the board was 'Dodgykebaab' and if you wish to read for yourself what was written, then you can access that here:

To start at the end, I recived a ban on NeoGaf because I said that I beleived GG was many different conversations all at once, covering a few different topics. I never called anyone any names, I never swore and I even walked away from the debate when I sensed that it was about to turn ugly. This is what i got. (right click and open image in new tab for fullsize)

But the path to this ban was the following:

I think this was quite a claim and normal thing to say, so let's move on.

Again, I see nothing wrong with what I said here. Again, no one is being targeted, there is no anger or bile and I think this is just a normal conversation.

So now it looks like someone may have missed my first post in the forum, so I repeat it to in order to make sure people are totally sure where I am coming from.

This is the point I walked away from the thread. I've said what I think and covered my thoughts on it. It looks like things are about to get heated so I pulled away, made my last post, turned my computer off and went to bed.

The next day I go to Neogaf to find I was banned for life, because "I'm not going to fit in".

Now please feel free to tell me if I'm wrong and why, but this seems to me to be ludicrous that I'd be banned for having a different opinion. Again, I don't feel that I harrased anyone or behaved badly. I didn't swear, and when things looked like they might turn ugly I walked away.

I am wrong, or was this a gross abuse of power from a mod?
