They might have posted in the wrong place. There's no reason to assume malice when incompetence is even more common.

"Pay them no mind. They're jealous of you." (And you know.... she was correct 95 percent of the time.)

quickly banished again?

You certainly don't sound like a bot. And even the newest newbie should have seen how many messages you've posted.

I'm so sorry that happened.

I think one of the flaws of humans is we remember the crap. You know? Like I remember every time I had a cast on and that it sucked having to endure one. I really try to focus on all the times my body functions very well. A hundred people will tell you that you look nice today but we remember that jerk who said I don’t like your shoes. Eff that toad. You look nice today. Keep em coming debm55 we love you
