no one banned that ("bonaldi") account. You just forgot the password you used when you created the account. And since you used a fake email address, there's no way for you to retreive it. That's not called being banned. There's another word for it.
Yep, user error, which I'll own to -- used a real address, but the login form is unspecific enough that I suspect I tried to sign in with my email, perversely. n00b mistake.

And since I'm out feeding the trolls ...
That would suggest that I either don't believe what I'm saying and am doing it to get a rise out of you -- which isn't true -- or that I'm doing it to start trouble. Neither are true (though my word is difficult to take, of course). My point is a difficult one to make without those things seeming true, I guess: I'm trying to say I hate something a portion of you guys love.

Crap, I never really thought of it that way. That sure explains a lot. I mean, for the past few years, I've been running this site based on the "if I find it funny/like it, readers may find it funny/like it" rule... but clearly that doesn't work. I mean, really... no one seems to be reading TDWTF.
I think you're confusing the two things. Of course, you're a good editor in that sense -- and the views go to show for it and back you up. But that's not what you're doing here. In comments above you're defending your sense of humour *despite* people telling you the cartoon blows. Your claim to humour judgement is with rather less foundation, there. In fact, if there wasn't any doubt about it, and genuinely only a "handful" of complaints ... why hold a poll at all?
Still, enough unconstructive bile from me.
