text: Wow, you are too kind! Thank you. I greatly appreciate your appeal on my behalf, but I don't think I should be given a special dispensation (so to speak). It seems CC's latest measures would be exasperating for anyone. The moderation system remains a crude instrument. It can't detect good faith, or honesty, or factor in accumulated experience with posters over time. Clearly a few antagonists have managed to game the system and gain wide latitude. While it's annoying, that's the internet. But to have to negotiate an increasingly heavy-handed medium that is not all that effective in discouraging serial disruptors is both frustrating and a cramp on free expression. Not to overstate the case!
