Dear Webmaster/Board Administrator,

My son, a political activist, used my computer yesterday.and whenever he uses my computer, he uses a VPN. When he was done yesterday, he simply forgot to turn off the VPN.

Permanently banning an otherwise respectable and appreciative member of your forum seems unreasonable to me, but I am sure you have your reasons.

My only regret is not saying thanks to those people who replied to my posts since I last signed on.

I just read your "Welcome to NICOclub! Terms, rules and helpful information" and do not see any VPN prohibition or other provision that would have forewarned me of your concern.

So, I will now add unfair to the manner in which you are dealing with me.

Sincerely,

JP Coletta, a.k.a., gfr92y

Dude, chill. You have not been banned. If you had, you wouldn't be allowed to post. A message has been sent to clear up this misunderstanding.

I have turned off my VPN...

You should be able to determine my IP from your Admin Dashboard.

Are we good?

No, you haven't.
What haven't I done?

I turned off my VPN the moment I received the email from the webmaster.

Your Admin Dashboard should be able to provide you with the IP from which I sign in to the forum, if you have the right permissions.

When I emailed you, I did so from my Gmail account and since turning off my VPN, I sign in to the forum from my Verizon FiOS internet account.

If you are not satisfied with my participation in or interaction with the forum, please close my account.

If you were banned, you couldn't post.

There's nothing further to discuss.
