Speaking as one who quoted verbatim the foul-mouth abuse I received from a cyclist (with video) and subsequently was banned, it's only a matter of time before Frances should be back. No doubt I was banned because someone like Paul Campbe/l complained. Notes to Francis:1.) You can try contacting the forum but that's a bit like beating a dead horse as no one there seems to understand what a courteous reply is.2.) You can try submitting examples of swearing in the mainstream press (or what I like to call the real world) to help bring this forum into this century. To me when you're able to read sh*t and fu*k anywhere else on line, surely one could here. Hell, I've actually read sh*t on this forum. Sometimes its preceded by bull. Sometimes not. Ed Saper might be able to help with this.3.) Don't be fooled by the forum terms posted. If you attempt to learn from your "mistake" don't expect them to engage to help you out. One would think that would advance the discourse, but no. One would think it the neighbourly thing to do given it is a neighbourhood forum, but no.4.) Always be mindful someone like Paul Campe/l could and would copy and paste what you said in a lame attempt to weaponize it on his wee Twitter account. He seems to be threatened by rhetoric but, oddly, not be the empty beer cans left in a cycle lane. Nor the Dott e-scooters strewn in that cycle lane. Nor the standing water. Nor the wet leaves. Nor the fully-motorized bikes zooming past his kids. But hyberpole, well, that scares the sh*t out of him. Poor thing.5.) In about two weeks Francis, you should be back up and running. You might not get any clarity or explanation, but you might log on one day and attempt to post and actually succeed.
