TL;NR:
(Below is the story why I was banned in that forum. Warning: Somewhat a passage with emotions, I predict the coming one will be, so some of you may not want to read a garbage like this. I'll try to summarize it as objectively as I can. Also, I am taking this as a chance to introduce myself (in a plainer way) as well as to practice my English writing.)
In that forum, where I guess some of you are also in, a member uploaded a post saying his gay ex-partner was both harassed and attacked for more than once in short hours on that day when, the member said, sitting by a river reading (in Germany). Then the member mentioned his personal experiences of being verbally attacked by non-gay people. Finally, he concluded his post with the still existence of the homophobic attitude.
I read his post and detected there were odd points, which I'll tell soon. I tried to point them out and had an interaction with him, three responses in total, with an intention to help him see the whole event from a different angle. As an unfortunate result, apparently, he didn't accept my "education" and kept arguing with me.
Later on the same day, I decided to delete all my three posts for one reason: I thought my posts would embarrass this young man if my logical analysis were left there and kept being read by the others. And then, the next day, I found I was banned for two reasons: I provoked him and I deleted my posts.
There are two points of oddness I have sensed in his post. Firstly, how can it be possible that a man is harassed and attacked by different people just because he sits by a river reading? How did those who harassed him know he is gay? Secondly, is the misfortune he encountered really related to so-called homophobic attitude of non-gay people? Obviously, at least obviously to me, there was something negative to his ex-partner and he (the forum member) chose not to say. A thought starting from these two points then led me to somewhere he didn't want to look at carefully.
No one interested in learning languages is possible to have a poor IQ, so I believe I am by no means the only person who could sense the two oddness.
Okay, this is the whole story. I do delete my posts, for the reason I've explained; however, I didn't intend to irritate him. If you think I shouldn't intend to "educate" him by pointing out something he didn't say clearly (and decide to ban me based on this), I think we are at least "speaking the same language".
BTW, if someone really thinks the reason I asked "why did your friend get attacked and harassed" is to avoid the same experience happening on me, or leads the topic then to the necessity of mutual support among gay people, I am sorry but I have to point out they've gone the wrong way. What I've seen is a post with biased/twisted viewpoints from a young man and I think it's better to remind him his bias.
Anyway, back to my purpose of joining these language fora, my intention is to practice languages. So, in this forum, I might choose to avoid language-unrelated interactions and responses like this.
I must be a very stupid guy, talking about something like this in my second post, when all are standing afar and watching what kind of person the newbie is.
