I think Castiel is still allowed the following in his posts: ,,

Hi.
My ban has been lifted. I would like to thank everyone for the support and also the moderation team for accepting my apology and allowing me to return.
I'd like to say that it was my own foolishness and not knowing when to quit that caused the ban and in no way was the Don involved at fault.
To Ahlecks and Aardvark, I will try to be less arrogant towards you in future, just give me a nudge now and then.
Anyway I would like to put the whole thing in the past now and move on. Again thanks.
There's nothing wrong with playing devil's advocate, especially on this board. Some members really do need to be probed (yes, yes, I know) more often and engage their brains.
Whilst I understand where you're coming from Ahleckz, I fear labelling Castiel a snob or even conceited would perhaps be a little too strong. I have had the impression through reading other threads that sometimes arguing against is like swimming against the tide as he is unfortunately one of those posters that needs to have the last word. However, that said, there has been more than enough debate lately where Castiel's position and 'stubborness 'has saved me - and other regular posters who seem to post less - feeling like I need to wade in and tell people how stupid they're being. In fact, it's poster's like Castiel that's allowing me to be a much lazier poster. That, and I'm bored. Castiel's got enthusiasm, leave him be.
But yes, Castiel, when I saw you were banned - permas just aren't what they used to be anymore, are they? - I was incidently reminded of a thread a whilse back discussing such bans where the point was raised: it's not how often or well you post that makes you a regular on here; it's managing to not get banned. Be here long enough, and you'll notice many handles you recognise will disappear slowly as they in turn make mistakes. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if one day someone's reading this and laughing at the irony as under my avatar I too have the pleasure of being banned.
Welcome back Castiel, don't be afraid to carry on ruffling feathers. Just don't go toe-to-toe with the moderators in future, and remember where the line is.
As for NinjaEconomist, that guy was a giant willy. It was a good day when he was banned.
N.B. Is Castiel's brother (whatshisface) unbanned too?
I'm intelligent enough to debate with you but I won't because I get the impression that you'll take the opposing point either for fun, or if you agree with it you'll refuse to concede a well argued point.
Whilst we're on the topic of older members, does anyone remember what happened to that Sequoia chap?

Glad to see you back, I've always thought your points have been well thought through and supported, which is part of the reason I guess a few posters used to getting their own way in "debates" here didn't like getting pwnd by youHi.

Tru was a legend.
I always remember when he started a short craze of rating every thread, he was a serial ratist, looked quite funny when all the threads had a rating
Can we get bans for rating every thread? I assume no because it wouldn't be there otherwise, but this isn't exactly democracy, more of a loving dictatorship. <3
Why not try it and see?
