As you quoted, the rule is:
I fail to see where I promoted anything illegal. In fact I said I was NOT promoting it. If you can point me to where I was promoting it or where in the TOS it says that I can't make mention even when not promoting it I would gladly submit. But as of now, unless the TOS were recently changed and members weren't notified (which would be kind of silly) I have not promoted anything, linked anything or encourged anything illegal. As per the TOS.#8. No posts promoting illegal behavior will be tolerated, including but not limited to warez/pirating of copyrighted material, illegal drug or alcohol usage, and illegal ownership or trafficking of species.]
It's like getting upset at people making reference to drugs when talking about getting a scale to weigh snakes (see any scale thread), mentioning it and saying "you should totally do this" are to very, very different things.
