Sorry, I read "permanent ban" where you did say "time out". My apologies.
Regardless, Doc and another member were suspended for violating the TOS, not "questioning a moderator's decision."
As far as the other accusation, since you're in close touch with Doc, ask him if it is OK for me to post our email chain. I'm sure it will shut this conversation down quick, because I still have it, and I still stand by it.

1. The words "time out" seem rather clear to me.
One apology at last though - so I'll take that gladly.
2. Not sure what TOS violation adding harmlessly to a thread comprises, with no flame or insults - perhaps you might elaborate - is doing that is still permitted? i.e. the recent ones bumped up in OMNI 'to save being archived' seemed not to have breached that same TOS? No time-outs issued etc?
3.
FewMiles I recall reading once told you to
"take a hike" over the matter when he was approached. Is that correct? Isn't that:
"questioning a moderator's decision." that you just stated had NOT occurred in this matter ??????
Now a very few Moderators moan and groan and grumble (behind my back) about my postings, but I have never told a Mod by email to
"take a hike" - or anything remotely close. I have always complied when asked civilly, which also seems to be overlooked by certain parties. C'est la vie.
4. You will of course need to obtain
doc's (or anyone else's) written OK to post on FT anything he emailed. My clear understanding is that
doc keenly wished to do just that in the past and
YOU steadfastly refused. Sounds like one to take to email for sure between you that one.
Perhaps you or he might update us all on your decision, as you say you are now willing. I sincerely doubt posting it will "shut this conversation down" one iota however.
