first off, i get banned for a period of time that i was unware of until today. no email saying why, no pm, nothing. look, i don't mind being banned. at least tell me why.

second, what's the point in locking this thread? here's a quote that's itereated in several of those 'read this before posting in highly technical forums' threads:

Welcome to the Highly Technical Forum! This is a place to discuss the latest issues and technology in the fields of computer architecture and engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and other sciences

is chemistry not considered a science anymore?


ps, thanks for helping out, kei

This forum is for people that are serious about hardware. ON TOPIC discussions about PC architecture, technology and in-depth looks at what we all know and love. NO FLAME WARS are allowed here. Keep the discussions truly technical in nature. For everything else there are 16 other forums to post in.

Did you read the above quote in the first post of your referenced thread?

Sums it up nicely

yes and it was contradicted no less than 4 times in previous moderator sponsored posts with the same message:

You are trying to justify your actions by taking the intentions of the forum and site out of context.

The Mods statement that I quoted you states that clearly.

There are many types of sciences, agreed, however, look at this example.

If you are on a paved road and the road ends into a dirt washboard, you choose to continue on. There is a sign that says rough road before you leave the paved road.
When you ignore the sign because the road ahead is gravel, can you complain when you hit the washboard and break an axle.
Your acceptance of a road may not be normal road,. You have to look at where you are going, not just where you are or have been.
