Now there's a place I was proud from which to be banned.
True story, I was banned for a humour post I wrote about a fictious orangutan from The Scopes Monkey Trial.
I'm not kidding...

But then there was a thread asking about why so many people were banned. Some mod put a link to another thread where s/he talked about banning people from "another cooking forum" who made comments about DC.
Talk about not knowing anything about customer service. The problem is not the people complaining. It's what they are complaining about. If people have to go to another site to complain about your site, fix the problem with your site.
But hey, in the end we have more people here and more discussion than we had over there anyway. I wish I could log in over there and delete my posts. That site doesn't deserve my content....
So three cheers for the new site!!!
Amen! another reason why I'm glad to be here!
Thank you but all my paddles are accounted for.....all except the one I leave at Ronjohn's house for his over indulgence of my bourbon...
THAT remark could be enough to get a nice person like you banned from La-La Land. Especially when one of their toadies runs back to "The Insecure One" and let's him know you don't unconditionally approve of the color combination.
Hell, they ban people just because they know people over here. Talk about insecure. Oh, well, it's their problem, not ours. Anyone remember the nuns from Catholic school in the 50's & 60's? Same kind of situation if you were a free thinker. That's why all my kids attended public schools. I still have scars on my hands because I dared to disagree with Sister Mary Holy Water.

LOL! nope but my folks sure do! wow are they scarred... Catholic school was held over our heads as a threat!
Jeez, nothin like making me thankful for public school!!
Actually, I had a great school growing up in Iowa, lucky from what I have seen of some schools out here.

hey, i went to catholic school. i turned out alright.
ya know, this thread has taught me one thing: that i'm a nicer person that i'd first thought. in the past, when i was (temporarily) banned or just left dc for disagreements, it bothered me.
this time, it doesn't. i'm over it already. i can keep in touch with a few old friends through myspace or facebook or email, so i have no urge to go back any time soon, to be at the mercy of a mod whose teeth are bared and dripping, waiting for me to step out of line.

Sad, truly sad. How much discussion is even going on over there? Not much that I can see....
You know unless any of you bring up something going on over there, I don't even bother to go there. I am over it.
The only thing I care about now is to make this site the best it can be and to avoid the pitfalls that caused us to leave or be banned from the other place.
If we can do that, and this experiment in freedom of thought, speech and the ability to disagree without flaming works, I will be deliriously happy.

It has to do with how we all came to be here. And of course giving the trolls from over there something to read to get them all worked up. I think they deserve a bit of that don't you think?!?!

Sure, but maybe it should be in "Chit Chat"....no?

Never let your detractors define you. Their goal is simply to wound you, or get even for all of the debates you won.
I've been banned a few times, and asked to be banned on a few occasions. Now I know many people say, "It's just the internet." But I dsiagree. There's a real person on the other end of that computer. Good or bad.
Your friends would never pounce, but I've found that your enemies never have the cojones to face you.
If you have defended a friend, and had twenty people turn against you in the most vile discussion, be proud.
In secret they will say, "Buckytom wouldn't give in, he defended a friend (or ideal) and even got banned. I wonder if I could?"

I`v handed in my resignation too, I really don`t like it there anymore NOR the idea of having my name attached to it, for the record my leaving PM to the Admin staff was:
"I`m sorry but after considerable thought, these New procedures and values here are not what I signed up to originally and would like to have my name removed from the DC userlist as a member here.
I can`t bring myself to play "the Kings new clothes" nor play the part of an extra in "The Stepford Wives" anymore.
Perhaps if things change here in time, I may come back again, but for Now, I want no part in this place anymore on Principal.
take care each and Godbless :0
YT. "
(just in case they try make out it was something OTHER than that there`s also a screen shot taken)

yeah baby, howz things?
I think everyone had a different experience there. Some of us just had a problem with one Admin but couldn't get it resolved. It was upsetting because we used to have a lot of fun over there.

I hated it because they had some really nice people and a couple of threads I was really interested in following.
Pretty much... that can happen to any forum... that is why you have to have checks and balances if you want to retain members.

Good for you, I think it's taking the high road. The trouble is that many folks feel we're "stomping out."
I also make my 'resignation' known on a PM, for I find that it's nobody's business but the forum owner or the head super mod.
