Quote - mdbruffy, what are you complaining about?

At least you got a second chance.

I once got banned from a writers' list because I correctly explained a copyright issue to a bunch of newbie writers. The explanation was not in agreement with the very mistaken theory of one of the influential members (that mailing your manuscript via the post office to yourself was the 100% guaranteed way to protect your copyright). He made a stink to the administrator. The administrator banned me.

In spite of complaints from other members on the list, I was not given a second chance.

Barring legislation that requires otherwise, whoever pays for, or otherwise makes available, the means of distribution of the message makes the rules. Period. No matter how arbitrary, unfair or wrong you and/or others may believe them to be.

Aren't you supposed to be tilting at some windmills somewhere?!? Stop sounding so reasonable!!!
