I think they ask because they wonder if I died. :)

Did you? Are you posting via celestial internet connection?

Celestial?? Now that would be a news flash. I would somehow make sure you knew so you could go over to CB and ruin the mullah contingencies testimonies.

This caused me to be suspended for 3 days. I guess this is under the rule "we do whatever the hell we want."

They really are out of control, and I'm seriously considering going the BYU71 route.

There is some rule about specifically calling people out. I don't pretend to understand it.

Here is where the inconsistency is.

That post was not deleted. The rules are enforced differently depending on who the person is. I think Mike in their world is a "trouble maker" and therefor will be dealt with differently.

As I say over and over again, I don't argue their right to do that, I just don't feel like agreeing to it anymore. I am sure they feel fine about that as do I.

The enforcement very well may be inconsistent and arbitrary, but let's don't kid ourselves: Mike is constantly pushing people's buttons and trolling. He reaps what he sows.

P.S. I got a day for posting Adam's "Terrible Tongas" Cougarguard post in response to his asinine objections to a cartoon of Obama and Hillary. I was told it was because I "called him out" for his hypocrisy.

Fine. Just state a rule that says rules will be enforced based on WHO you are moreson than WHAT you post. There are a group of us who can get away with nothing while others are pretty much untouchable.

So some people are allowed to push others buttons. It depends on if you agree with the group whether you are a troll or not. I don't consider you a troll, but on this board you are every bit as much a troll as Mike is on that board.

That board has an ignore button doesn't it. Why not let people make their own decisions as to whether they want to ignore someone or not. Look, some people are comfortable having other people tell them how what there morals and standards should be and some aren't. There aren't any villains or good people here, just differences of opinion.

I don't know anyone on that board that is "untouchable". I've probably racked up over a month's worth of cumulative bans.

Hey, I don't have Mike on ignore. I have zero involvement with making the rules or enforcing them.

I'm just saying that Mike is well aware of what flies there and shouldn't be griping about it anymore. Undoubtedly people that aren't frequent offenders get the benefit of the doubt more than others. Ask Goatnapper.
