It's not only expected, it's extremely appreciated. I, for one, am very interested in what you have to say. Sorry for the derailment. 
What makes you think anyone wants to ban you?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Again, it seems to be EP that is doing the misrepresenting here.
We don't know his intentions but he expects us to know them it seems, so when we take him to mean what the words he uses mean... he seems to expect us to mindread him and know what he 'actually meant'. @ EP Why don't you just say what you mean instead of expecting people to mindread you? If you post something I will take the meaning of your post to be what it says, I can't constantly try to guess what you 'really mean', and perhaps if you did that less to others you wouldn't misrepresent them either... when you don't know what someone's intentions are, it's best to go by what their post actually says and not what you assume they 'actually must mean'... you call me a pedant but sometimes it's not a bad thing, with a character as volatile as you, being pedantic about what your post actually says rather than trying to mindread what you 'really mean' is helpful rather than unhelpful IMO.
Mind reading, in that sense, is actually achievable and real. It's a skill. I have it. You can develop it too.

Most of the time you seem to be bad at it though, I suggest perhaps doing it far less. I suggest that for the majority of people. Take things at face value more, I say. It's simpler and better. It causes less misunderstandings and may avoid stuff happening like the unnecessarily heated bullshit in this thread.
=)))
Oh, you have no idea, do you? If I were to take things at face value I would demolish you intellectually, and it wouldn't serve any other purpose than to humiliate you. Instead I give you the benefit of the doubt(here I'm redefining the expression), so to speak, in order to help you understand why you're wrong.
If you "demolished me intellectually" I would feel humbled not humiliated. But I doubt that you could, you massively overestimate your own intellect IMO.

I don't overestimate it at all. I just don't stick it in your face. Because then I'd have to talk to admirers, instead of equals. I guess you could classify that as modesty, but it's not the sort of modesty I'm against, so we'd have to redefine that term for this purpose.
Ok, that sounded weirdly sexual, you know what I meant about what I don't do with my intellect, LOL.
