I know that this is probably going to fall o many deaf ears but I am going to say it anyways.
I came over here after being banned by Wayne after I said something about Dave Dombrowski role's in the disappointing season so far that he did not agree with.
You will have to read the Forum if you have not done so for the reasons I feel I was unjustly .
If you want a quick summary, here you go:
Go to post 57 as I brought over the posts (623, 624, 625), which angered Wayne so much that he immediately deleted them and then the entire thread before returning them intact about a week later.
I complained both via PM and site feedback hoping that Dr. Jack would see them even though he was said to still on leave of absence because of his wife's illness meaning that Wayne wasis the person who made all of the decisions re: the site.
To cut to the chase, the next day I was banned for one month (and I am quoting) "abusive feedback" whatever the hack that is supposed to mean.
The ban was lifted on July 13(it turned out to be a nine day ban).
The permanent ban came about on Friday after Wayne and I exchanged some commentary in the rewards/donation section of CM, where people can exchange twitter like responses.
As has been the case here, he would not respond to the actual issue which resulted in the ban but merely spoke in the same way as those who have attacked me the past few days, ie talk about alleged past incidents where I caused trouble without specifying what they were.
In actuality all of these prior incidents were nothing more than expressing opinions that Wayne did not agree with but who would not civilly debate, and which resulted in the vile responses I received the last few days from his sycophants.
None of these ever resulted in a ban however because imo Wayne was not in a position to do so.
As stated yesterday the only other time I was banned was way back going back to the BC days( I would guess around 15 years or so) when the owner, Monte, banned me for a while for exposing a Sports Service(Charlie) for being a liar.
I was banned because Charlie was a sponsor of the site, and in that instance in retrospect I accept full responsibility and was wrong to do so.
I never received any kind of ban there, at the now defunct ATS and was very highly respected over there by owner and moderator especially for exposing Sebastian, Phil Steele and NC.
Wayne never commented over there because he fully realized that most of the people there were on my side and appreciate what I did.
Fast forward to 2010 when I came over here.
I have read and posted many, many times concentrating most of my posts on a continuation of exposing Phil Steele/NC especially with my NC thread beginning in 2015 during which I both documented their records, posted the picks along with my commentary about them based on 100% documentation.
I also last season started a Red Sox Commentary Thread which stated my current opinions and views based on being a loyal follower of the Sox since 1952 at age 8.
I also chimed in at times in other threads started by other people with my own opinions, which sometimes were at odds with other people.
At the same time Wayne had his own Red Sox Talk Thread during which he expressed his own opinions.
Most importantly during my nine year tenure here I was never banned in Dr. J's presence.
I am the same person now as I was back in 2010.
I find it very interesting that the three bans received from Wayne, which resulted ultimately coincided when he assumed total power early this year when Dr. J was on leave of absence.
I will leave it to you to figure out what that means.
Back to the present.
Over the last three days I have been vilified, insulted, including that I "bought my wife."
Yes I did respond in kind because well I am not perfect and feel I have a right to defend myself if the situation arises.
To repeat, I never do, never have and never will be the first on to start the name calling and insults.
Once again, the most important thing is that not on person has come forward to debate the merits of my case itself, which I deem to be unfair, unjust and what amounts to downright censorship.
If you feel I am wrong and should have been banned by Wayne based ON THE MERITS OF THIS CASE ONLY, I kindly openly invite and challenge you to come forward and have a civil discussion and debate.
If on the other hand the insults and name calling continue, I will continue to respond in kind although I would much prefer a civil discussion of the merits of my case.
The choice is yours(referring to everyone who has posted and/or kept up with this so far).
No matter what happens moving forward, I feel very good that many hundreds of people in the last few days have viewed the posts in the this thread, and I am most grateful and appreciative to the moderators to tell my story without the fear if being censored or banned, such as the case at CM.
Thanks to all who took the time to read all of this and/or at least so far as to understand the issue here.
