Percy,
You are the one I rely on to tell me if I'm getting out of hand. I'm not sucking up, but you've been MORE than fair to me. I always agreed to a certain extent that some moderators under some conditions were being fair or unfair...but the one thing I don't want to do is violate the many chances you've given me.
And I acknowledge fully that I can get out of hand (my darn brain goes like 20 directions at once)...
But I will say this...I'm not here to honker up your forum...I'm here to engage in some intellectual exchanges, and I do about it wrong most of the time.
The one thing I've learned is, the suspensions come without much of a warning.

Hi Rocket,
First, keep in mind that I may seem like a nicer guy than I really am because I sometimes play good cop to the other moderator's bad cop
But addressing your concerns, I'm as mystified as you. On many issues we evolutionist moderators find ourselves in pretty fair agreement, plus we try to give each other lots of latitude, but you've somehow managed to get on the nerves of almost all the other moderators, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Yeah, you're irreverent and often off-topic, but you're funny and your observations come from refreshing angles, plus your posts are usually short and if I don't like them I can skip right by.
I can make a guess about the off-topic admonishments you keep getting. Everyone's off-topic to some degree at times, some more often than others, and all the moderators accept this reality, but within limits. In your first life here I think you were almost exclusively off-topic, and you may have used up your mulligans with the other moderators. Hang in there, there's a good chance it'll work itself out over time.
--Percy

Thanks
I REALLY never mean to be disruptive Percy, I really only understand that that's what I've done when it's too late.

Re: Thanks
Well, nobody really should. I'm a handfull, and I understand the rules and the the moderators are trying to hold me to them...but I typically don't always think about rules...it's been my salvation and my detriment all my life.
I understand what I've done wrong and will likely continue to do wrong...but it's not on purpose. It's just who I am.

that about describes it
For me it isn't so much any one thing. It the impression of continuously being annoying. Of course, one persons annoying is someone else's amusing.
I'll try to back off a bit. Remember, Rocket, it is hard enough to keep things flowing in a somewhat organized fashion; use the little asides more sparingly please.

What ever happened to: Sylas, Phatboy, Hambre, truthlover, I have not seen anypost from them in awhile. I sometimes get used to people and personalitys and kinda wonder what happens to folks. I think that after reading everyones opinions and passions, you begin to kinda know that person even if it is anonomyous. I even admit sometimes when I feel lonely I get online to converse on EvC. Anyways I just thought I'd share that.

Re: Thanks
I've tried to tell them that your humor is unusual. But I reckon and suppose that would depend on what your definition of the word is, unusual that is. Well, little brother, all you have to do is clear the gun from the holster before you shoot, that will give you another nano-sec to think. And when you say shit, make sure that is what you meant to say and then stick to your convictions. Nothing can replace that particular word in a good discussion.

I know Ned. I'm a pain in the rear...I've never had a problem with you because you seem to put up with me (sometimes where I wouldn't put up with myself)...I expect a lot, because I am a lot.

If it makes you feel better, I'm still banned on another site. The mod there said that I would be banned for a week. It is now a day over a week. Let's see how long before he remembers to reinstate me.
When I get back in, I'm going to start a revolution.

Pbbbft.....
Gettin' banned is no big deal, I get banned all the time...I'm sure it's them and not me though. Seriously, I probably deserve it most of the time. It's that thing where you can only see things your way. Psychologists have a name for it I'm sure...but is it a REAL problem if you know it's happening?
