Evidence for point one
See This Post
Okay, here's the Congress thread.
CG, sf, be careful. Please.
Riverthalos gave us permission to discuss directly at each other.
SHE GAVE US PERMISSION TO DO WHAT I WAS ALLEGEDLY SUSPENDED FOR DOING!
That's the key and central, but not the only point, of my defense.
She gave us permission to post to each other, even though if the Rangers were to actually do their job more often I wouldn't need permission because attacks would be more moderated instead of blaming both the abuser and the abusee, or instead of simply blaming the abusee.
She cautioned us to be careful, but she gave us permission. So I was careful.
Here I did not attack. I did point out attacks. I was careful.
Here I did not attack, I pointed out a factual error.
Here I did not post to sauronsfinger.

Here you might be able to say I attacked when I pointed out an attack.

These posts were made in the congress thread but were split to the derail after they were written.

Here is the first post that led to my suspension. I argued with Rebecca, which is not against any rules. I argued with her about her job performance, which annoyed the rangers.
Here is the second post that led to my suspension. I argued with Rebecca, which is not against any rules. I argued with her about her job performance, which annoyed the rangers.
Here was my final permitted in thread post to sauronsfinger. Notice carefully that I didn't post any argument or attack against sauronsfinger. The text attacked Rebecca's job performance, which annoyed the rangers.
Here is the third post that led to my suspension. I argued with Rebecca, which is not against any rules. I argued with her about her job performance, which annoyed the rangers.
Here Riverthalos apparently revoked the permission she had given, and after that I no longer posted to sauronsfinger. Remember, posting to sauronsfinger is the alleged reason the rangers suspended me when they suspended me for arguing with Rebecca.
After that the thread was split. As permission was revoked AND as this was a new thread, I didn't post to sauronsfinger. sauronsfinger did continue to post to me.
Here I posted to Rebecca again. Rebecca is not sauronsfinger, so therefore not against the rules.
Here sauronsfinger posted to me, after the thread split, after the revoked permission, and therefore I am suspended for his actions. This is a very important post, because it is probably the one the rangers will use to say "see, that's why I suspended
them." One post is not a "them". One post is a "him". A honest Ranger would note that.
As you can see by my posts, I tried to be careful. I had permission to communicate directly to sauronsfinger, as long as I was careful. Perhaps I could have been more careful, that can be debated. Perhaps in light of all the evidence that will be the rangers' defense, that I wasn't careful enough. I did attempt to be careful. It appears to me that one of the two participants that Riverthalos cautioned was not as careful, which led to both of us being suspended for the lack of care of the other participant.
How can I be found in violation of "don't post to him" after Riverthalos said I could? Moreover, I didn't treat her permission as a blanket permission but kept it in thread. AFTER SHE REVOKED THE PERMISSION I STOPPED POSTING TO SAURONSFINGER!
If you look at the thread which led to the suspension, you will see that sauronsfinger did post to me but I didn't post to him. I'm suspended because he posted to me? How is THAT against the rules? How can I control what other people post?
Of course by "the rangers" standard, since I mentioned sauronsfinger several times in this post, I violated the rule and this post should get me suspended. If "the rangers" don't hand out a suspension on those grounds I will present evidence for point two soon. Otherwise see you in another week when I give evidence against "the rangers".
