Hey sorry to bother you again and I know your on mobile, but can you tell if I've been blocked from Oppo or if I still have authorship because I can't post to Oppo and I'm assuming I'm either blocked or had my authorship revoked. Thanks.

Sorry can't tell on mobile, but you are not in the grey so it does not seem so. Find DasWauto or Gamecat...also Brian the Life of seems to be active about now so you could try him.

It seems (rightly) I had my authorship taken away, at least temporarily and some of the moderators are talking it over. Matt saw my post last night and took great offense to it (don't blame him) and I'm sure it was him that initiated the loss of authorship.

I brought this on myself though because in the last few weeks I've posted nothing but negative controversial pieces and people got tired of it. Even if I'm granted authorship again I think my days of writing on Oppo are over.

Yeah I don't know what all went down in the aftermath, but you can still write on your blog.

Well once again my opinion got in the way of my writing and the point I had in my head did not translate at all onto the page and Matt, and others, thought the point I was trying to make was that I don't want opinions in automotive writing at all and the entire piece came across as a personal attack. But like I said, I screwed myself by not thinking for a second before I pressed the "publish" button.

I could try and defend myself and post it on my own blog but there really is not point. I backpedal on almost everything I write and everytime I do that I lose whatever credibility I had.
