I pulled off a neat trick -- I was permanently banned from the Bogleheads forum after my first post. Not the trick I was going for though.
I've read their forums quite a bit, and posted a couple times awhile ago before I started blogging. I decided to make a new account associated w/this name, and as I've done here, try to start a discussion related to blog posts that I thought were germane to that specific forum.
I gave a link re: my marriage/money post and my recent one on career trajectories and said I welcome discussion (that was basically the entire post).
The comment was held for moderation, then I received an email w/a notice of a permanent ban from that username because I was "soliciting" and talking about "relationships" and for putting my blog URL in my signature.
I suppose I need to re-read their ToS more closely, but that sure seems like a load of b.s. I understand they don't want spam, but my writing isn't *that* bad (I hope). A simply warning would've sufficed.
Hopefully WCI gives me a warning before he bans me from here.
