First of all I would like to reply to my own posting...

Second of all make it clear it wasn't this site that banned me...It was recovery chat.com still have some great friends there

and thirdly the posting that got me banned: One young lady with a little over a year of sobriety, was engaging as a sponsor to a woman with the absolute worst background I've ever heard or imagined...I warned her about the possibility of working with a psysopathic personality...by sharing my exprience 20 years ago with someone who turned out to be a serial kiler...and subsequently executed by lethal injection as number 50 on Florida's death row.....The point being some come to AA not to sober up but for other reasons, and listening to what was related about this woman...a red flag went up and I saw bad weather on the so called radar screen and the need to to warn her..This was met with senseless critisism of me, and convoluted arguments..where one was reminded by me that my experience was not debatable...essentially for this I was banned...coupled with complaining about the poor taste..suggestive names of chat goes in the secondary chat room with web cams verging on pornography..complaining about this in chat..without rancor..but making a point that morality associated with recovery needed to be on a high level..When it was apparant no logical comback..They hit the switch and removed me..Of course I got angry ..very angry..it was very unprincipled.

How one can get removed by sharing the purity of their AA experience is beond me..and goes against the grain od everything I learned in 35 year that has kept me sober...Thus the eecumings poem came to mind
