(24,853 posts)Being locked out of ATA and being prevented from sending messages through the site to the admins DOES NOT prevent you from resolving any "situation", should the situation you find yourself in be "resolvable".
Look at the bottom of every DU page. There's a link called "Contact". It's underlined. Following it you will find, at the bottom of THAT page, a section titled "The DU Administrators". There you will find DIRECT email addresses for Skinner, EarlG, and Elad. Direct mailto: links.
How do I know this? In 2008, after the election and the Prop H8te bullshit that happened in CA, there was a poll. I believe it asked a question something like "do you support gay marriage?". Anyone who has followed my posts here since 2005 when I joined knows I have a gay child. I clicked the wrong answer by mistake, submitted my answer, and was immediately banned (it's hard to read the gravedancing... hurtful and mean). I traded emails with Skinner personally over the next few days to a week, and he made the decision to reinstate me (much to the dismay of some).
There's NO reason for socks, no reason for bullshit. If you have a case, make it. Make it by talking to TPTB.
