To the Honorable Board of Pardons, 🙂
Dear Santa Claus,
It’s been quite a while, but I believe there has been a persistent bias against my username within the religion section for a long time.
I’m talking at least two, if not three, years now. 😲
I suggest the expert committee look into this and release their findings to the public.
(If anyone is truly curious, I could provide a detailed breakdown of the situation, but honestly, it doesn't matter anymore. It wasn't about the facts—which seem to be irrelevant to everyone these days—but rather a classic case of "moderator wolf syndrome," where someone just wants to hunt down and ban any user they personally dislike.
In short, a moderator's personal distaste made it far too easy to find an excuse (for instance, targeting a quote from a Nobel laureate in my signature because, apparently, Nobel laureates shouldn't take my side, but should instead align with "the right" side). 😉
However, since Buddha teaches in the Diamond Sutra that moderators come and go, but the users and the forum remain, maybe there is some goodwill within the new, wise leadership to overturn my undeserved punishment.
The mitigating circumstances I am submitting for your consideration include:
a) My clean record, which can be verified through local law enforcement and Interpol.
b) My gray hair and advancing age.
c) The wide array of fascinating topics I’ve initiated in the religion section—essentially my overall contribution to this community through numerous well-crafted, long-form essays.
🙂
d) The fact that I have been a member of this forum for a very, very long time.
d1) The fact that I once invited the moderator who banned me to grab a drink when I was visiting Washington, D.C., but I never received a response.
e) I have never been a member of any political party, church, sports club, association, clan, clique, moderation team, or administration...
Simply put, I have always been, and will always remain, an SELF-SUFFICIENT THINKER. 🙂
Hoping for a favorable resolution,
Respectfully submitted,
