### (Closed) Discussion to create a process to un-ban members ###

[AnotherMcIntosh]

59. If you don't understand,

First, if and when I disagree with you I'll let you know.

I obviously did not disagree with your statement as reflected in your sentence.

I don't need your permission to agree or disagree with you.

In your post, you also said something that I agree with:

"Krispos42, I applaud your attempt at fairness and hope we become better at truly attempting to listen and have empathy for those we disagree with."

When Krispos42 made his initial decision, he did not have addition information of our additional input and the view from at least some of us that rDigital's post was based on sarcasm or satire in response to an earlier post. What I have said while agreeing with your thoughts is that, in mho, Krispos42 should consider that additional information. If you don't want to do that, fine. That's up to you.

Since I did not say anything in my response to you about my perception of your intent, "sincere" or otherwise, you have no basis to say:

"it's hard to believe you honestly don't think that those of us who support gun control do so with the sincere intent of reducing crime."

Second, the heading for the OP clearly indicates that it is about a "Discussion to create a process to un-ban members." It says so right in the title. Your statement about your belief that your post may have been alerted has nothing to do with me. I did not click on the alert button. If someone did, it may be because you stated in an over-the-top way with respect to rDigital that:

"his post was vulgar, repugnant, offensive, vile, hateful, hurtful, arrogant, obnoxious, dishonest, and insensitive."

Third, once again, heading for the OP clearly indicates that it is about a "Discussion to create a process to un-ban members." My response is exactly on point. I did not make an ad hominem attack, nor did I claim that your post was "vulgar, repugnant, offensive, vile, hateful, hurtful, arrogant, obnoxious, dishonest, and insensitive." I did not alert on your post.

Fourth, you say, "I'll defend your right to say ..." Really?
