Er, ... What was the point of this post? I was hellbanned before because I got angry a long time ago.

I mentioned it because I realized I hadn't properly articulated my thoughts. Then I realized it didn't matter in the end. Of course, I guess that realization was wrong.

If you read with show-dead, you frequently see people making similar statements, wondering if the reason no one responds to them is that no one sees their messages. By responding to your post, I was informing you that no, you are not currently banned, and your posts are visible.

The second half was a not-to-funny joke inverting the usual advice about "you should write to PG and ask him to un-ban you". Since you weren't banned, but seemed to think you should be, I was suggesting you write him and request that he punish you for whatever transgression you thought you had made.
