You have been answered in detail already, but here are your own words
explaining the problem:


>They're incorrigate too, as whenever I correct them they often get
>hostile and defend their stupidity; many discussion group owners have
>banned me for correcting people's spelling /offlist/.  Such people must
>be taken down.


i.e., you have a proven inability to work with others, but fail to
consider that working with others involves working *with* them, and
that the common factor in you getting kicked out of other Internet
forums is you.


>They are not willing to do it for me, immediately dismissing my reasons

>give wrong reasons that I had already dealt with.  They ban me because
>I am and do controversial and dispopular.


i.e., you go into collaborative spaces but are not willing to work
with others. The strange thing is that you are then surprised by the
(repeated) results.


>It implies relation too--as in "my kind" or "my child".  Shutting down

>"lie" and "lying".


You know damn well what everyone else (EVERYONE else) means by
"English" here, but you come to a collaborative space and demand it
bend itself around your entirely idiosyncratic personal meaning for
the word.

Again, the strange thing is that you are then surprised by the
results. Over and over. The common factor is not a conspiracy, but
your behaviour. Until you realise this, you will continue to have the
same experience on other Internet social spaces. Over and over.

If you don't have something new to say, I won't be approving any more
of your messages to wikien-l.
