The bigots of Reddit have come for my main account now.
So I started using my main account on Reddit the way I was using u/Lord_Shadowfire, even though u/DarkMagickan makes me a little sad every time I read it. It doesn't feel quite the same, and I really can't explain why, except that 2008 me came up with the name, and I really don't like him for various reasons.
Anyway, I started posting more pro LGBT stuff in r/rosesarered, because apparently I'm a glutton for punishment. (Actually, it's because I'm stubborn and a little rebel, but I never seem to learn.) I posted three silly memes in a row:
I thought I was playing it cool in my responses to their responses, ignoring the blatant homophobic bait and reporting it instead. Then I wake up today to find I'm banned for 2 days on my main account.
First thing the second I'm not banned, I'm taking it up with the CEO himself.

I have been banned, apparently permanently from several sites.
In no case did I ever use profanity. In 2 sports related sites, I am banned by simply predicting the outcome of a playoff series. In an immigration site, I am banned for stating some facts about due process and the Constitution. In the conservative site, I am banned for speaking my mind on freedom, liberty, and equality. In the western site, I am banned for making comments about John Wayne and his Playboy interview in which he proclaimed to be a white supremacist.
It's been over a year, so I recently contacted them and politely requested that my bans be lifted. It took less than a few minutes, and their reply was to ban me from contacting the mods for the next 28 days!
I now limit my comments to several sites about movies, and home theater, for the most part.
