My dog can say momma, especially when she's hungry and wants me to get her something to eat.

No.
More like innocent.

I do not believe they are in their perfect state. I believe they were given survival skills.

Maybe so. But of course I'm just looking at this through a Biblical lense. :Cheeky:

I know that is goofy to some.

But it's how I roll.

And deal.

I am not entirely sure the term "supernatural" is coherent in this context. That it works means that it is part of how the universe works. That makes the question of "supernatural" hard to answer; it is, after all, the way things work.

But then, I do really think there's something "supernatural" going on, in that I believe that there is an entity telling us that this will work, and encouraging us to go ahead and try it, even though it's sometimes hard to believe it'll work.

At least your appeal documents the hollow mockery that "take it to PM" can sometimes be.

I'm not sure amnesty here at IIDB would have the same significance as at CF, since there's no formula prescribing how many warnings lead to an infraction or how many infractions lead to a ban, etc.
No, I'm finished with forum politics.

It would be nice though if Uber and Buzz (can't remember who else was banned) were unbanned. Whether they would actually return or not is an entirely other matter BUT it would show grace on the part of this website (specifically this thread)

I hope that one day Uber will contact the admins and ask to be unbanned. It's up to Uber and/or Buzz to ask. Several months ago I inquired about the process of getting unbanned. As it turned out, it's their move to make.

I don't think it's as simple as "ask and you're unbanned." But that's where the process would start.

I have always found it strange when moderators report PMs. I just took the occasional confrontational or hostile PM as part of the job.

I also suspect that the infraction violated protocol since I suspect there were no previous warnings for harassment.
