All this happened in private messaging.

I requested of Finkleroy to be able to get March's give-way quotas, as the reason I made the request for March's quotes a few hours off, was for reasons beyond my control. I also mentioned that I have use for the keys I give-away myself to the give-away and if turned down, I will donate less to compensate for the lost Steam keys. Not as a punishment, but as a simple practical matter. I said this is why it would be reasonable for me to be allowed this mild exception to the rules, but feel free to say "no".

In return Finkleroy said the following insulting things (condensed for length as Fink used alot more words than this)
That I believe I am "entitled" to special treatment.
Implied I believe I am the center of the universe.
That I was "threatening the community" (by saying I'd give away a few less keys for April)
In general saying I had a bad attitude.

I replied (also condensed for length)
I accept your no.
I really don't like the insulting way you talked to me. None of what you said about me is true. May I please get an apology?
I recognize you don't have to recognize the way you're talking to me is horrible.
Finkleroy:
Wow. You have an extremely massive attitude and ego problem. Your repeated extremely insulting and egotistical comments and expectations of special treatment are beyond the pale. You've been extremely rude, and unapologetically so, and as a direct result of this, you are now permanently banned from both giveaways. I wish you the best of luck in life, and I hope you will eventually grow up and stop feeling so entitled.
So triple down on the insults, and basically being banned from the give-away for me requesting an apology for being deeply insulted.

And I'd continue this in private but Finkleroy blocked me. If I were able to say this in private, I'd say "We could drop this but would you please reconsider this ban." Because, like how am I suppose to know I'm risking being banned for asking for an apology? But I'd ignore the horrible insults if it meant not being banned.

So I take this to public opinion, maybe someone else can get Finkleroy to recognize they REALLY mistreated me for no reason. Also a way to deliver a message to Finkleroy considering I've been blocked in private.(assuming there isn't some settings that cause my threads and posts to be invisible to Finkleroy, is there such a mechanism?)

Finkleroy is a great guy doing the community a service at the expense of his own free time (and, as evidenced above, his sanity) by keeping the Community Giveaway running. Whatever he rules there is not up for dispute and being butthurt about it and doing your dirty laundry in public is not appreciated. Neither is trying to turn the community against Finkleroy, thought that is so ridiculous it's hard to even get mad about it.

So you're going to mischaracterize me too, Breja.

I didn't make any statements about Finkleroy's base character.
"doing the community a service" is not relevant to the topic.
Making a request is not "being butthurt"

My complaint is about being insulted and being banned (presumably forever) for asking for an apology.
It's mostly about the presumable eternal ban as I can live without an apology, even though I was deeply insulted and there was no call for my being treated like that, no matter how "grateful the community is".
You want to characterize that as "butthurt", well how crude and juvenile of you. Also with you using your term like that, it lacks any real meaning.

I am not trying to turn the community against Finkleroy. I'm trying to say I was wronged, someone please help me get Finkleroy to recognize that they did me wrong. And I explained why this isn't in private, because there is no option for such.

Breja, you might not have meant it as such, but your entire post seems trollish. Your entire message was BS anyway.

I would really need to see Finkleroy's side of this before I make an inital or any judgement honestly.

Well did you break the rules?

Agree 110% with everything you said.

I suggest the OP look up "honor"... and then possibly examine your actions.

marsattakx: Well did you break the rules?
No I did not.
I was banned for asking for an apology for some very nasty insults against me. Asking people to apologize is not against any rules that I am aware of.

I don't have a horse in this race and don't really care for drama, but the fact you only quoted Finkleroy's last message and paraphrased your own makes me think you're trying to hide something about the way the exchange went. Perhaps you weren't quite as nice as you're claiming you were?

kai2: Agree 110% with everything you said.
So you agree that people who don't want to be permanently banned for asking for an apology after being insulted for no reason, should be dismissed as "butthurt" because Finkleroy should be allowed to treat people how ever they want as it's a tough job to manage the the give-away system?

That isn't a unreasonable concern. I might think the same were our roles reversed. On the flip side, if I were to quote and get into every tiny detail we would be getting alot of TLDR (too long didn't read) from everyone else looking at this thread. You tell me some way to give you those details without risking that and I'll do my best.

I believe I have represented what happened to the best of my abilities, that I have paraphrased things accurately as one can. If you have any questions or if Finkleroy wishes to dispute anything I have said, I will provide the details that answer that question or challenge.

Sachys: Well if you weren't permabanned from the GA before, you sure as hell should be now.
Because I wish to dispute a unreasonable/unfair apparent permaban, I should be permabanned? That makes no logical sense in the slightest.
Posted April 03, 2021
It's difficult to view the whole case without looking at more evidence and everything un-moderated, but personally I can't see why Finkleroy would do it without having a good reason. I fail to find any "insults".

Are you omitting something here? Possibly, and more than likely.

Besides, ask yourself if this really is a public matter...? O_o

For dragging shit in public, rather than accept what happened or go via a third party as a mediator.
