Sorry Bhaskar and Priya, I was away the whole day today and had no idea that this had been distorted to such an extent.I had to reopen this thread Bhaskar because 'that mod' happens to be me and I am not going away before giving my friends here a reason for the actions taken here.
I guess Vijay has already given the reasons so I need not go deeper.
Adi,it was me who had banned you, and in case you forgot my name, it is Minnie.The reason for the ban was that you had already been told several times over that such language was not welcome here. That much has already been discussed.We mostly act on reported posts. Now, if you found her posts so offending, WHY did you NOT report?? Why did you choose to attack?? Secondly, no one forces me to do anything. I was not aware that you had already apologised. This is 100,000 strong members forum and each and every section has it's fair share of members who cause trouble. And sometimes we take action on the circulstances. I have always liked your posts, and when Priya and Bhaskar said you had sincerely apologised, I saw no reason not to remove the ban.And as due, I credited them for it. Now, should I not have said that??? Now, many members have been banned before on similar grounds. However, very few, if any, have been unbanned. That kind of tag is very common becasue it relays to all the other dev team members the reason for the unban, that too in such a short span. And we have banned so many other members here on this very ground, how come we never had any uproar?? And if other members have been banned for the same reason, what makes you different?? Especially after so many clear warnings??You apologised, it's good. However, had you kept your cool in the first place, the situation wouldn't have risen in the first place. How does bad mouthing any member make you or me better than the one who resorts to it??
Vijay's post says the rest so I will not go more into it. Just to say that in case you see a post which offends you, please report. A counter attack will bring you down with the same level as the perpretator,sometimes with worse consequesnces.
Adi, if you still have any issues, please feel free to pm me. All the others who have any questions, please feel free to pm me as well, I shall be more than happy to answer.
