That’s because YOU were the one doing it. They do not call them PRIVATE messages without a reason. And furthermore, you state to the whole forum what was said in those PRIVATE messages. I don’t know what your definition of private is, but to me and lots of other members it’s pretty self explanatory. At the end of the day, it’s a huge scumbag move. You said multiple times how you have this power to do whatever you want, yet you abused something so small as just PMs makes me wonder if you’d ever go steps higher to other stuff. Okay, I guess i invaded your privacy then. How is life now that I have done so? > [@Official "sightings" thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-sightings-thread/53153/113): > > You say that my entire first post was done for personal angst against you. Yet EVERYTHING you did (as per your FAQ reply) was done for the same exact reasons. But again, because YOU did it, it’s no big deal. Cossey, understand that I didn’t start this thread, but since you guys decided to make a side of this story public I had no choice but to answer you. Otherwise I would never posted any of this. If somebody I had no problems posted this thread I would be confused, but still forced to answer back. > [@Official "sightings" thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-sightings-thread/53153/113): > > Also, you helped us prove why people should be banned for their racial remarks. You said you were disgusted with how JVG acted, how racist he was towards you and that there was no justice done… How do you think any other minority would feel after seeing all of the stuff people on here say that go without punishment? I think the most important thing to learn here is that action is not taken evenly and applied fairly. You have still yet to comment on why JVG has been sheltered from any moderation action against what he said. As well as why sbardy was able to get away with just a few hour ban , doing much worse than simple one use of the word which cost me a few weeks. I like sbardy, dont get me wrong. I think these rules are ridiculous, but thats not my problem. My problem is that they arent applied to everyone in the same way. > [@Official "sightings" thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-sightings-thread/53153/113): > > Singh, your response is appreciated, seriously. I legitimately wanted to hear your side of the story. no im pretty sure it would make all of you guys look a lot better if i never posted --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-current-state-of-shift518/264739)._
