Hey Mods -
My original name is duniwayRobber.
I was recently banned for racism & misogyny.
I actually think I was misunderstood for the racism (I noted that I was only discussing POC and said 'can't have that' so I mentioned a white skater. The misogyny one is highly debatable (especially with OKBoomer's signatures being AOK), but I'm not here to argue.
Am I really that bad of a poster or has this been a single mod deciding they have a problem with me?
TBH it made me feel strange to be called a racist so I do wonder what exactly someone saw as racist, as I'm not trying to repeat the same action.
If enough of you can't stand me as a poster I'm not going to become cheetah prints, but I hope there's some room for reconciliation.

Hi, I banned you. Even if we ignore the POC comment, you also posted "Last spot goes to Leticia. I'm so glad to have a nice pair of tits in skateboarding but she is also guilty of many aforementioned crimes plus being a downright asshole/crybaby after competitions."
In another post you accused a trans poster of being homophobic.
This is the kind of 4chan edgelording that has no place here.

Yeah the misogyny of that comment seems pretty obvious.

You leave OkBoomer out of this, you hack.

Hey Alan -
Thanks for the reply.
That trans poster accused gay men of being the main proponents of trans-murders and went on to describing how much gay men hate trans people. It was a fact-less statement which, seemed to me, homophobic. I have a gay brother, who spent many years cross dressing - I never heard of him or his friends discussing trans person's with jealousy and hatred.
In my thread where I commented on Leticia's body, I was told to 'run myself over with my parent's car' and another poster displayed a gif with a revolver saying 'kill, maim, shut up'. I'm a little confused how those users weren't also being 4chan edgelords. More pointedly - a large percentage of UWTB is based on pc-bending conversation, so this feels like a personal disagreement that you were unable to articulate so instead resorted to banning me. I'd bring up the definition of misogyny to defend my statement as NOT misogynist, but I already know that's a mute point.
I understand that my comments are often nuanced, and I thread lines purposefully to catch people off-guard. They are never intended to be dismissive based on a poster's race, religion or sexual preference. If you are black/trans/female-identifying and I offended you, I hope you will accept my apology. I want all the people to be on here, talking shit.
Shalom.

Hi, without answering your every point, I'll just say that I try to use the same standard for all users - some of whom have been banned for comments similar to yours. Although you may think your posts were nuanced, they read as crass trolling.
I think you also mistook my regular mod duties with the inability to "articulate" a response to your posts. Mods don't generally engage in discussion with every poster who "crosses a line," instead they moderate. There aren't enough hours in a day to talk things out with every offensive poster.
Cheers,
Alan
