Yes and your nom de plume is the banner you fly. So what does your banner mean, by way of introduction?

Ones desire to make oneself understood shouldn’t change as the topic changes.  
Instead it’s simply been more empty one-line teasers.

_Disappointing indeed, there was moment earlier I thought you might actually have something to share.  
 💩_

what an odd thing to say.

Usually when someone doesn’t quite understand the rules here, they also think that the current members get together and talk about them and gang up on them. We don’t. We post here because we like the way this forum functions. It’s not for everybody. I agree with the others, that it seems you might have something valuable to contribute, and I hope you find a way to see past whatever it is that’s bothering you and simply contribute. No need to judge the mods, of “educate” anyone. (I’m speaking both as a mod and a member here)

FYI, if you have issues with how the forum is run, please start a thread in “Issues and Complaints”. Then we can discuss that separately, without disrupting the other threads, or making personality the center of a political discussion.
