Sounds like a will power issue. If YOU can't control entering threads and posting comments, OUR only option is to ban you outright, not just put a lock on the cabinet with all the poison inside. You are not the first person who has requested this, and when those members could not control their actions, most of those accounts were banned. You have repeatedly announced that you will only leave or stop commenting if forced out. At times, you have shown that you can reasonably offer different viewpoints and debates. Unfortunately, those cases are few and far between. While I do recognize that you have been baited into many an attack, you are ultimately responsible for your own behavior, and the history has shown that you don't have a good record at it. I've talked with others and they say off the boards, you are much different, you're non-confrontational and not argumentative. Why haven't you been able to show that side around here more often?
