I was posting as "Steady".
So, I asked you over a year ago (29 June 2015 to be exact) if you were the same user, and you seem to have ignored it.
Jim Brown for reasons of disagreeing with him, decided to suspend me.
This is untrue.
There was a CodeOfConduction violation incident on your part (at http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/126405.wc ) which a different moderator, ChrisB, dealt with ( here, http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/126407.wc ).
About a week after this, I checked your email address and discovered that the email address provided - steady@programmer.net - was fake. So your account was banned solely for that reason - the idea was that once you discovered the ban you'd contact the admins from your real email address and we'd fix everything up.
That account remains banned until someone puts in a valid email address for it.
So I deliberately chose the name "unsteady" and same email address provider to sign in to get further ahead in my Euphoria queries.
mail.com and programmer.net would technically be two different providers, I think.
Jim Brown tired to scuttle me in that effort
On 24 June 2015, you informed me that you had forgotten your password, so I reset it for you. That's hardly 'scuttling'.
and I had to appeal to Matt in direct emails to resolve the issue,
At the time (5 March 2015) you said you sent a single email directly to me and Matt, Tom, and ChrisB about it, and that my address bounced.
Later, I tenatively concluded that you went directly to Matt without asking me first. I determined that Matt should have had a record of the original email with my address on it if it had bounced, but he didn't, and also that mail sent from mail.com would not bounce when sent to my address.
and Matt actually did help.
You may not remember this, but I overrode his decision to unban the Steady account. I agreed with his decision at the time to allow unsteady to be activated. The admins work as a team. This transparent attempt to divide us won't work.
I have noticed that Matt is rarely posting these days.
He is, however, reading on a daily basis, and would have spoken up immediately if he had wanted to do so.
From reading about you, "katsmeow", I realise that you have had a long standing duel with Jim Brown.
Well, katsmeow, I'm sorry that you see it this way. From my POV I'm merely performing my duties.
I hope Jim Brown can see his Paranoia soon, and get appropriate help or medication.
That's the kicker. Your entire post, filled with untruths, is clearly a milder form of personal attack that is forbidden by the CodeOfConduct. And you've done it to an admin, no less. Obviously, there are consequences.
Welcome back to extended moderation.
