Examining the Evidence
Did AdminJar and you make an agreement? What were the exact terms of the agreement?

The basic consensus is that you are not to be at EvC during school hours. The issue seems to be who gets to define school hours...and while I trust that you had a half day, I would advise that we use the blanket definition of 3 p.m. Mon-Fri as the guideline.
​
So today is an unfortunate technicality.
​
Besides...talking with a bunch of gruff administrators is boring anyway....go read a good book or do something productive!

There is a major problem with not taking into account my actual school schedule. One of them is days in which I have off such as the summer. I certainly did not agree to staying out of the chat during days that I have off, and half a days should be no exception.
​
Technically, you have a point...if you werethe lawyer. In a forum, administrators make the rules. Instead of simply banning you outright...which they technically could do...they agreed to make a workable set of rules for you to follow.
​
It has been said that you frequently demand attention and are disruptive in chat. You have been made aware of this and are working to better yourself.
​
My suggestion is to agree to the rules rather than challenge them, and learn to discipline (moderate) yourself.
​
Administrators are human. Some of us are more tolerant than are others. Keep in mind that it is not any forum members right to be here...it is a privilege. We can ban or boot anyone that we feel disrupts the forum.
​
I like Asgaras advice to you---be a man, Guido! You are tough enough to get through this emotional stew! Talk to me after 3 p.m.

Keepin in Check
while you technically may be correct, keep in mind that you may win the argument yet lose the war. Why not simply agree to follow the rule so that you may live to fight (or chat) another day rather than throwing all the cards on the table and getting booted out of the poker game?
