Its all good I'm lurking and small posting at the moment. Seems easier for everyone, then if I leave and have to wait or remind to get back in. That seems not worth it or fair to the mods. Lets be real if I let a message board get to me to the point where I opt out to just opt back in later I'm just being petty

I'm not really on the other side, I roll between both sides depending on the issue perhaps why I feel opting out is just being petty, The question was sincere, my intention to do so less. I was actually over most of all this once Biden was elected. I am also in the camp that Trump has really disgraced himself these last few months on a whole different level. No need for a break. Time to move on and hope the new guy doesn't mess up *Shrugs*. Some of the early policy rumors are concerning....but nothing is solid or law or passed yet.....

Opting out isnt bad as i really enjoyed the time away. I dont see it as petty i just see it as "out of sight out of mind" type of deal which worked wonders until after the election.
Same here, when i hit the "new posts" button everything thats been posted in pops up but when i opt out the P&R stuff isnt there so like i said "out of sight out of mind" and i couldnt believe how much nicer it was not sifting through all the toxic crap the last few months. So far the forum seems to be in much better shape with people actually having discussions rather than the flaming of one another.
First, I want to make clear, I'm not complaining about my P&R suspension. I think as evidenced by the other thread where it was discussed, I have no issue with getting spanked and punished.
I posted something like "someone was triggered" and based on what was posted, letter and spirit, in the original post of this thread, I got punished. No problem.
My concern, before I return to P&R, is that I don't understand how me posting "America Held Hostage, Day 4" in anyway even comes close to violating the letter or spirit of the original post of this thread.
To reiterate, I realize that regardless that wouldn't have changed the suspension, so I'm not saying the suspension was not warranted.
The ban log and communication indicated continual baiting, and I think that is completely false. I have gone out of my way to not do so, even when people have referred to my posts as stupidity, or when people have implied, or outright stated, that those of us that voted for Trump are complicit in sedition and a coup attempt (their descriptions not mine).
Those are examples of both personal attacks and baiting. Examples of this statement from the original post: "If what you're about to post does any of the above, even if it's not blatantly an attack on one specific person, if that person falls into the group of people you're talking about then it is. Period."
What I was doing was having fun with what was Rush's signon every day during the Clinton administration, which I know some of the liberals know, because they say they listened to him (although maybe they are too young to have listened to him then).
I cannot fathom any world where that is either an attack on a group or baiting. It's clearly having some fun, as opposed to the uptight, "you are shameful ******** for voting for Trump" and "no, you elected a socialist, who will be removed before the year is out and replaced by the worst socialist, Harris."
I've said before that I'm OK following any rules, and taking any consequence if I violate them, but if the strike zone changes on a whim, or if the mods view everything with their "belief" of bad feelings between TJR and I or anyone else, and ASSUME intention, that's not clearly there in written/typed word, that's a problem, IMO.
I've worked my ass off, and edited countless posts since the crackdown to remove anything that even has a hint of being baiting or taking a shot at someone, so I'm concerned that "continual baiting" is listed, because I believe that isn't based on the reality of my posts since the "grow up or get the **** out" line in the sand was drawn, but instead mods making assumptions or huge leaps in and reaching a conclusion first, and then supporting it with facts (aka posts).
I understand why this might happen, because it's been a shit show in there, but when you threw down the gauntlet and said, "starting now" then you need to also "start then" in your judging of our posts and not take past bickering and other things into account and imply, incorrectly, intent that is WAY beyond the words of a post.
Please don't take this as being critical, because as I said, I understand why it's happened, and it's those of us (at least 6-8 BAD offenders) that had you guys reach the end of your rope, but once you did, if you are going to have a zero strike policy, the strike zone can't be based on whim or history, it needs to be based on the conditions you set out and the actions/posts of people since you implemented the zero strike policy.
TIA for considering my thoughts/concerns.

It was baiting. Tom responded each time by taking the bait and then providing some bait of his own.
Embrace your spankings and kiss and make up!!!!
you guys are master baiters
