              I think they invented the stuff about IRL harassment
              because they would look silly banning me just for supposed

              There is CCTV in the space, so we can determine very
              easily if I was 'following' people around. They refuse to
              give any details about what the CCTV shows.<br>
              They refuse to give any details about the nature of the
