Sometimes being banned from posting on The Guardian is a hardship.

I would actually like to chip in to contribute to their generally very decent sports coverage, but am prevented from doing so by the prospect of supporting stuff like that. Is there any way of explaining this to them?

I don't suppose someone else with an account on there would do it for me? :-(

They're sacking Mike Selvey from the cricket coverage.

When discussing this BTL, I pointed out that we were being denied reading Selvey so we could pay for more articles about how stock cubes or barbecues are racist. People agreed with me that this is wrong.

I seem to have become quite adept at not being moderated and have never been banned.

I'm not trying hard enough, I guess :-(

Fair play. They've done me loads of times. And I'm a lefty. I just don't like being told I'm a racist for using stock cubes.

You use stock cubes? :yikes: Raaaaaacist!

I'm just impeccably polite. All the time. It's disarming.

I've made dozens. They now ban me as soon as I post, which suggests they're looking at my IP addresses. :shrug:

Being polite is cheating. It makes them think you're one of them.

And don't think I didn't see you being polite to Jack Monroe yesterday on twitter. :shakehead:
