Right, as we all know. I got banned.
Why? Heh, for some stupid pathetic reason.
Its like nicking a few sweets from a shop and getting 10 years in jail.
Why have all the staff just ran away like girls? Hm?
Now, I dont know /who/ banned me, but they have done a runner. Or just won't post, because they're too scared. Now, it was either Darkus or Hybrid, I think. And just because Hybrid is so in love with Mystique she can @rse about the forums as she pleases.
"She almosts got banned but loci stepped in"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Thats the biggest pile of crap i've heard. Why couldn't someone step in on my case? Oh yeah, I forgot, im not Mystique.
I have been here just under a year now, and done.. mmmm... NOTHING wrong. Won 5GADs so I can't be /that/ bad. And I do the smallest, so small, you can't even see it. Sarcastic post in the world, even a blind frail old women would notice that it was sarcastic. But, no. You didn't.
I honestly can't be bothered anymore, I come on the forums daily and, now, it just sucks behind. You banned me. Go cry and abuse your power. "We will ban whoever we like" BAH, I'll joyride whoever's car I want. Its pathetic.
"Waaaaahhh we have been here like, 100 days and we have banning power so we'll abuse it waaaaaah"
Why dont I get a banning stick, and beat you to death with it? Hm? How does that sound? Oh yeah, im sorry, im not a pathetic "Staffie" who abuses banning power.
Because, I dont actually know who banned me. But your out there, and I hope you read this, and, yeah, i'll probably get banned, for what? Standing up for what I believe in? Standing up for myself because I KNOW IM IN THE RIGHT? Mm? Actually, I dare you to ban me, it would give you some pleasure that you enjoy anyway. You probably shove the keyboard up your anus while doing it don't you? "Oooh yeah lets ban him OOooo" I don't really care anymore..

Someone actually downloaded Fireworks and tried it, and hey, guess what, the serial was wrong. Duh. Oh, but my email to Ali explaining why and why I was sorry and stuff wasn't enough? I waited 3weeks and no reply. Thats just damn right rude. So dont accuse me of not "coming forward to the staff and saying it was just a joke" get your facts right.

How far can you push a man before he explodes, (Or implodes, whatever floats you boat ;o) ) Hm? Obviously you pushed me, too far, and you've seen the consequences.
You are banned again, please do not show yourself up by attempting to

Im just going to lie down and let people walk all over me. Well, you may have done that to other people. But, not me.

Yea, whatever. Does the name, "Mystique" ring a bell?
"Your all treated fair"
Yes, and some more than others.

Why? Because the staff have been banning people for posting fake serial numbers?

Good, because it's true, at least that's how I feel. I can justify SR's reasons for banning Gasmask, in that he was posting about illegal software and the such like, and common sense tells you that it won't make the staff happy, but I think that SR should put something in the terms and conditions as to what constitues a banning etc, whether it common sense or not - I mean, look at the people on this site who copy, and I'd give my left nut to say that half of them probably think that's a rule of GAD (even though it's printed above the review box :D).
The guy hadn't been a nuisance before, so why now? Cut him a little slack guys.

The point was why didnt he just be content to be Gasmask1 I mean he was lucky that the staff aloud him back at that nick, but he was foolish anough to start abusing the staff which is not on under any bodies book. So he was given a chance and blew it I doubt he will be ever be let back.

Well, I think it's time for my person opinions to come into play. Firstly, I want to say how distraught I am about this entire situation. Through sleepless nights, hours of deep eloquent thought and weeks of obliterating pain, the truth has been revealed. Yes, Garre did not shoot JFK and although this might speculate amongst us, the truth is he was with me - all night.
Thank you.
Thank you.
*cringes*
Humm...now GasMask1 has been banned. Whoever's right and whoever's wrong, it's really quite trivial. :D
Will there be a GasMask2? I hope so, because I just think the whole thing's been blown out of proportion.
I'm not sure about banning him the first time, but sorry to say this mate- I think they have justified reasons this time around. {:)
'Sup to you and SR what happens now, me thinks.
