Yep, that was me! As to the reason I was banned, it's all there at
Terry's MSN community for anyone to read. You must have read back quite a ways, 'cause that happened a while back. He's not still talking about me, is he?
Right after I was banned I asked Larry to post a short note for me, and Terry assumed Larry was an alias for me and banned him, too. So I got Terry's email address and sent him this message:
Hi Terry!
Larry and I are two different people. He and Gene joined at the same time a few weeks ago because I posted a message at my club that you were trying to get a C/E discussion going over at MSN. Larry said he already knew you from usenet discussions, so when you banned me I asked Larry to post a short note for me. When that didn't get a positive reaction I asked him if he had your email, and he pointed me at your webpage which had your email address.
Anyway, in the interests of fairness, or at a minimum just of accuracy, please correct the impression you have created in your post in the "One last post for Percy" thread that anyone was engaging in underhanded behavior. And since I can no longer respond to your criticisms because of your censorship, it is against the interests of fair play and simple decency to continue to further criticize me in threads at your community.
I have often made the comment in posts at my club (where after over two years of operation no one's ever been banned, by the way) that it isn't fair that I'm both judge and participant, and I've mentioned several times that I'm actively looking for a Creationist co-moderator. The guidelines should probably mention my co-moderator search, and I'll update them as soon as I get a chance. At one point I thought David McQueen (at one time on staff at ICR) was a possibility, but his participation level has been too spotty, posting only once a month or so.
Anyway, no hard feelings. Sorry it didn't work out. Best of luck with your community, and you're always welcome over at my club:

You know what his response was? While he did delete the thread where he had been casting aspersions my way, he never retracted his accusation that I had been participating as two IDs, and he blocked me from his email, too.
If you don't think it would put you in danger of banning, why don't you post a general invite to the EvC Forum at Terry's club. Thanks!
