I mean I get the point you are trying to make but well...

There is a great book by Phil Rosenthal, the creator of 'Everybody loves Raymond' called 'Your lucky you're funny'.

He used to have a job as an overnight security guard in a museum. One night he was feeling very tired and for whatever reason decided to take a nap in one of the displays, this was like the bed of George Washington or something of equal importance. He got woken up by another security guards and was pulled up on it and was fired on the spot.

By Phil asked to be forgiven for this because of his previous good behavior and his superior got him his job back. This was the plot of an episode of Rosanne that Phil wrote.

Sure he got his job back but now everyone else hated him because it showed favoritism, and thus he was eventually forced out of the job by others disliking this.

The overall lesson was, just because you can get back into a position doesn't mean it is a good idea. Maybe if others dislike you that much, why do you keep trying to get back in? Sure they may be petty and it doesn't seem just, but why would you keep trying to get involved in that if the same result happens again and again?

I mean you 2-3 new accounts a month, it sounds like you didn't learn the lesson of Sisyphus. Maybe it is time to just let the boulder roll down the hill and enjoy its tumble to the bottom of the valley.




> Maybe if others dislike you that much, why do you keep trying to get back in?

"Don't resist the bullies, just accept your fate." Same vibe.

Don't know what reason OP has for sticking with the shithole but I do appreciate that there are stubborn people like that.


> Maybe if others dislike you that much, why do you keep trying to get back in?

Because with moderator actions it's not the others in the community (most of whom rarely, or never post) who necessarily dislike you, it's the government, or even just particular actors within the government, who dislike you.

> but why would you keep trying to get involved in that if the same result happens again and again?

I'm not the GP. I don't have multiple accounts. Someone would do this for the brief time that their posts are up, and eyes see it. To know that those ideas exist within others in the community.
