In summary, the person is assuring the group that they are not presenting any controversial opinions and sharing their expertise in various fields, including their contributions to Wikipedia and published articles. They hope for their posts to be treated with respect and emphasize the importance of crossing boundaries between scientific disciplines.

Dear all,

I’m running a danger of being banned. I feel, therefore, a need to assure you (and mentors) that I’m not presenting potty opinions here.
Among other things, I’m contributor at Wikipedia in areas of neural networks, complexity theory, psychology and neurology. Unfortunately, they did not accept mu suggestion that neuroscience and neurology actually mean the same (tautology).
In the following link you can see an article on perception I contributed too. In related discussion page you might discern that my suggestions have driven major changes to the article. And, in a sense, it was peer reviewed, since numerous professional psychologists and neurologists, who read the article, did not have any objection:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception

I have also published some op-ed articles that were well received. The following online article was reproduced on many sites and translated in Portuguese and Spanish:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/01/2290426.htm
(You may find some that did not expire if you Google my name in quotation marks.)

You can also see two reviews of my website on my website. Just click on Reviews button. “Current Opinion in Neurobiology” is a serious peer reviewed publication.

I hope that my posts will be treated with a bit more respect now since they are not “Overly Speculative Posts”. I consider past events and reprimands as overreaction. I’m not surprised though, since cutting edge science often challenges deep believes of some, especially when it comes from a discipline we are not very familiar with. And I strongly believe that crossing boundaries between scientific disciplines is very important. In this case very important, since physicists are human and they perceive as all humans do. Not knowing that their observations are altered may compromise many honest future works.

Kind regards,

Your comments have been noted. Thank you.

However, I don't see a question or a point for discussion in your post, so I am closing this thread.

Thank you for sharing your concerns with the group. As a fellow scientist, I understand the importance of presenting well-supported and evidence-based opinions in our discussions. Your contributions to Wikipedia and your publications in the field of neuroscience and neurology are impressive and show your dedication to the subject. I appreciate your efforts to bridge the gap between different scientific disciplines and challenge established beliefs.

I believe that open-mindedness and critical thinking are essential in advancing our understanding of the world. It is through questioning and challenging existing ideas that we can make new discoveries and push the boundaries of science. Your contributions to the perception article on Wikipedia and your op-ed articles demonstrate this approach, and I applaud your efforts to engage in meaningful discussions and debates.

I hope that your posts will continue to be met with respect and consideration, as they are valuable contributions to our scientific community. I also agree with your point about the importance of being aware of our own biases and how they may affect our observations and conclusions. As scientists, it is our responsibility to constantly question and reassess our beliefs and assumptions in order to advance our understanding and avoid potential biases.

Thank you for your contributions and for bringing this issue to our attention. I look forward to continuing to engage in discussions and debates with you in the future.

Best regards,
 

1. Why are you running a danger of being banned?

I am running a danger of being banned because I have violated the terms and conditions of the platform I am using.

2. What could happen if you are banned?

If I am banned, I will no longer have access to the platform and all of my content and interactions will be removed. I may also face consequences such as being unable to create a new account.

3. How can you avoid being banned?

I can avoid being banned by following the rules and guidelines set by the platform. This includes refraining from posting inappropriate or offensive content and respecting the rights and privacy of others.

4. Can you appeal a ban?

In most cases, yes. Many platforms have an appeals process where you can explain your situation and ask for a review of the ban. However, the decision to unban is ultimately up to the platform's discretion.

5. Is being banned a common occurrence?

It depends on the platform and the actions of the user. Some platforms have stricter rules and may enforce bans more frequently, while others may have a more relaxed approach. Ultimately, it is important to always follow the rules to avoid being banned.
