Yeah, Merc is scary. He reads so flippin much, and then he remembers it all.
Tyler, I'm proud to say I'm also self taught and also hate working on computers other than as a hobby. I don't want to be a cop, though.
As for the topic at hand...
Websense is a highly adaptive filter.
Any domain that passes through their DNS will be reviewed if it is not in their database. So, if you use a proxy today, their servers will put it in a queue to be checked and it will be detected as a proxy. If you go back a few weeks later, it probably won't work any more, hence Gmail stopped working for you.
Now, as for it detecting Gmail
through a proxy? Well, that probably didn't happen. Many inferior proxies can't handle SSL, yet Gmail requires it. The proxy you accessed probably used an iframe or some other method for relaying the encrypted content
directly, thus enabling Websense to block it.
I think what Merc has been trying to say is that since you want people to take you more seriously, you should allow yourself to be perceived more professionally. One big step would be to spell words correctly such as loathe and many, as opposed to "lauth" and "menny". I wouldn't assume that your school is trying to be an agist organization, they may have legitimate reasons. Most of the professional organizations I have come across avoid forums, especially when dealing with minors. I know this from personal experience.
