I am far too sensitive for my own good

I spent a good part of Sunday feeling depressed because I had registered at Maetel's boards, and for some reason before I could even post I was banned! I sent an email humbly asking why and couldn't sleep well because I thought I had inadvertently offended some person half a world away whom I've never even met and she thought I was a jerk. Then it occurred to me that she had checked my profile and visited this journal - and had banned me because of that icon over there to the right and she thinks I'm an art thief!

(I make no claims that I drew that and I would credit the artist, but I'm not sure who it is - it might be Akira Toriyama, but I think it's a doujinshi [ie. fan drawn comic book]. I see this picture quite often and quite a few other people here have icons of copyrighted characters. They're just for fun and I'm not making money on it or claiming as my own. I just liked it because it reminds me of my own family)

Anyhow, when she emailed me back I was afraid to look at it and had John do it. He beckoned me over; it turned out the board automatically bans people who don't post right away to keep out spammers. God, I'm silly, getting so worked up about 100x100 pixels (well maybe not nothing - she does have the potential to get a little cranky
