And that is the post I replied to. I think others in this thread followed that; or, was I once again unclear?

Here's the thing. If the issue that popped up in the LGBT group had been taken to Help as I suggested, all this would be out in the open, for everyone to see and you probably wouldn't have been banned. Even though I know you're being sarcastic, none of this is charming at all. The direction the thread in LGBT was going wasn't the least bit charming either. I am also of the mind that the person who called you out was wrong in doing so, you were right to defend yourself BUT the LGBT group was not the place for that discussion. But now I'm just being circular.

A piece of advice (which I'm sure you all know but I'll reiterate):

If you alert on a thread (and tick the TOS box if you feel it's necessary) and the jury decision doesn't go as you think it should, you should immediately take that to the Help forum and talk about it there (you can even call people out by name in there and have as big an argument as you want to). Even if the admins don't do anything at that time, if they begin to see a pattern, they will then do something.

I'm going to take a page from seabeyond's book and state that I'm done with this. The only reason I've explained myself this far is that I suspect if I didn't try, I'd get the cold shoulder in the Feminists group, which I, on occasion, participate in.
