View but not post

[Anonymous]

Jeff, I can view but not post. I get the err_empty_response error if I try, including reporting posts. Do you have any idea why that would be?

I can check the logs but I need to know the IP address that was having the issue (since your current address appears to be working since you were able to post here). Please follow these instructions to let me know the address:

Jeff, I’m reluctant to provide that information because I’ve seen reports that you use that information to ban posters.

On a fundamental level, are you aware of any reasons why someone could view the forum but not post?

The information that I use to ban posters is included in the post that provokes that ban. One reason that you may be able to view but not post is because you have been banned from posting. But, if you are unwilling to cooperate with me, I will similarly be unwilling to cooperate with you. So, enjoy not being able to post.

I simply don’t want to provide information that won’t solve my problem but will make it worse. I’m sorry you don’t understand that.

The one who doesn't understand is you. I will explain this to you and then lock this thread because I am not going to waste more of my time with you. Every post here has an IP address. In cases of egregious violations of our rules, I will block the IP address used to post. Your address may be blocked, but the only way that I can determine that is if you let me know what your IP address is so that I can check. Since you don't want to tell me, I can't help you.

Moreover, if you are so scared of me, why do you risk coming here? I really don't understand this mindset. BTW, every one of your posts in this thread has an IP address. How will you be able to sleep tonight knowing that I know all of those addresses?
