I made the mistake of getting testy with someone else in a comment, and apparently you can't do that.

This happened once before and the ban was lifted, but I'm not sure about this time.

I have had people speak up for me to the tech department and on the platform itself, so that may help.

I've had to be careful of that on multiple occasions. I've often gone back and deleted comments. I think nefarious forces send you comments designed to provoke just to get you into trouble. I hope the ban gets lifted.

Thank you for sharing. How do you manage to write so much?

How long does an article take?

It depends. Some articles can be as much as 3-4 hours. Actually, I'm not very good at assessing the time because I tend to get lost. Usually I write from 6AM until about Noon on most days.

I had my best month in terms of earnings in August. But I also got a ban from the platform because of a ridiculously arbitrary conflict with another writer. So I'm going to have to concentrate on publishing here now.

Wait a minute, you're permanently banned from Medium? Is this a ban that will be lifted eventually? Please provide some details. I've subscribed to your newsletter.
