Show some respect. You might get some. In my opinion, some people have too much "self esteem" and not enough self control and accurate self knowledge. How about you?
Thanks to teachers mistaking content for process for the last 20 years or so, there are an amazing number of folks today who have loads of self-esteem for which there is no basis except a vague sense of unwarranted entitlement.
Contribute something positive, helpful, thoughtful and supportive to this list -- consistently -- and then you too will have the right to indulge occasionally in writing silly posts about nose-picking. But until you've shown your commitment to contribute something useful, why should anyone concern themselves with your discomfort about being barred from posting??
Your response will give a pretty clear indication of whether you "get it" or not. I'm hopeful but not optimistic.
