Am I Banned?

[dougules]

I've noticed lately that if I post comments to the main blog, they rarely seem to go through.  I do occasionally like to point out some things I disagree with, but I keep it light-hearted and am not making any personal attacks. 

My most recent comment was completely non-controversial but didn't go through.  Another poster was concerned that if the market tanked, him taking out money would make him go broke.  I just responded that that was already baked into the SWR and pointed him towards the 4% rule article. 

If I'm blocked, I'd at least like to know.  Did I miss an email?

The main blog is different from the forums. The forums are a free for all within the rules outlined. The main blog is Pete's virtual living room. He can do as he pleases there. So your comments are under his jurisdiction.

You are probably not blocked, just not approved either for whatever reason (could be something you said or it could just be the person approving [Mr/Mrs MMM] has yet to approve or just passed it over). It's probably not personal if your comment was not negative.

Also this forum has no direct interaction with the main blog other than philosophy, main banner, and the continued main blog discussion part of the forum. So this may not be the best avenue to get your thoughts heard by Pete.

Could also be some kind of Internet connection error. Who knows.
