I've been banned from a few forums in my lifetime (Mumsnet, for example).
Every time has shocked and upset me.
People assume I'm a troll and I'm left with that familiar feeling: "I don't understand what I've done wrong; am I living in a parallel universe to everyone else?"
The rejection stings and baffles me.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I am banned from a few places. My honesty and disputatious nature does for me. The inability to mask.
Oh I love the word disputatious! A new word for me :) I too am disputatious, but I'm not sure that's precisely what angered the folk on Mumsnet. It's like they didn't believe what I said was true. Or they picked apart my wording, focusing on phrases and style rather than content.
