Site issues?

I tried posting a new thread, but the posting seems to have been denied. First time for me. What's going on?

OK, this thread does not appear either.

So, for some reason I seem to have been banned.

With no prior notice of the reason for the banning.

Oh well ...

I guess I am being told to move on, away from this site ...

I wouldn't leave yet. It might be a glitch to the system.

I see your thread and your post.

Back in the day there was a 3 thread maximum per day limit.

You might be experiencing that.

If someone is suspended or banned, their user status is either "exile" or "visitor" on their user page. You're not suspended. The explanation is likely that when you made the blog post you did not choose the option to promote it to the back page.

As usual, the problem is between the chair and the keyboard.

Typically it takes a little time before it shows up.

Patience is your friend.

Never had to select an option to display a user blog.

You?

Perhaps Rcade has different UI for friends and family than us outsiders.

If your current alias reaches back into your current alias's posting history on this august site, you'll find your current alias has made the same complaint before.

No lyrics necessary.

#10 If only you included to word poffer. You would have posted the lyrics to the perfect Gaslighter Retort County & Western song.

Ask your doctor if Donanemab (Kisunla) is right for you.

Yup.

(thx to RCade for the explanation in #5)

Yeah.

I fully admit that this was my self-induced issue.

I was not aware of the "yes or no" selection that RCade referred to in #5.

And, at the time I posted those comments I had been "tabbing" around the posting page. And at some point, I, it seems, twiddled that selection to not post the comment on the public blog.

So, yeah, I erred.

Many thanks, as always, for the corrections.

The victim role doesn't suit you. Perhaps the brietbart comments section is a more natural and friendly environment for you?

The victim role

It's more than a role, it's his whole identity.
