@MrDrone - I hear you. And it took me a while to frame the discussion (@PG's email was sent to me on Oct. 16 & post was created Dec. 5).
I wanted to share the experience, because it would be helpful to others and also uplifting that we can make personal connections on the web. However, I was not proud that I was once banned and I didn't want this post to generate backlash from the community at large.
Ultimately, I decided it was a story worth sharing.
