Unfortunately, I only opened Mike's message AFTER writing something that Mike considered to be offensive. So with no warning and no explanation, I received a lifetime ban from CG.

To the cool people on CG, stay cool

To the *YEWTS* on CG, I'll see you in hades, where we can spend
eternity discussing vengeance oaths, Joseph Smith's extracurricular activities, gay marriage, and 101 things you can do with a Tabasco bottle. It will be fun.

Cheers,

R.F.

Thanks for the notice, Johnny.

My rant here about how a CB post of mine was deleted was in turn deleted. I fail to see how this was in any way against the CG rules, as doing so is a common past time among y'all.

Yet another instance of dicator-like behavior by the CG mods. Or maybe just one. Whoever it was.

You are more like CB than you care to admit.

At least at CB they give you a reason why your post was deleted.

Here? No such courtesy.

How uncivilized.

You've clearly announced that you have no intentions of behaving with civility on this board. If you don't think others are playing nice with you, given the premise under which you are posting, you'll be hard pressed to find somebody who will feel sorry for you.

Things are lax enough on this board that if a post is deleted, the reason is fairly self-evident.

You should be a little more specific. For example, (if this pertained to you) you might write, 'my post contained a somewhat graphic description of what one of the mods might do with a certain farm implement if he were ever to come across the passed out body of MikeWaters' grandmother. I suspect the post was deleted because said implement, unless used with a level of skill that the moderator probably lacks (as he was not raised on a farm) might cause Mike's grandmother some discomfort when she finally awoke from her stupor.'

This thread is supposed to be a history of censorship on this site. In most cases the reason for the censorship will be obvious. But if one day we find that posts are being censored, and the reasoning would make el Jefe blush, then we will be able to turn to this thread and read a history of how we arrived at that point.

Write the HISTORY of your deleted post. Don't just say, "I had a post deleted, this place is just as bad as CB."

A. I am not looking for someone to feel sorry for me. No matter how many times I say it, you still refuse to believe that I really don't care what you think. It makes me think most of you here have inferiority complexes and base their sense of self-worth on other CougarGuard posters.

B. My point is that there are a few here who have no intention of behaving civily on CB, yet the courtesy of explanation regarding deleted posts is given them. No such courtesy is given here, even to one who is not well-liked (admittedly by his own design).

True. The sad thing is, my post wasn't anything offensive or vulgar or whatever. I merely said that I had a post deleted over at CougarBoard. The post was about how much of a freaking whiny hypocritical crybaby MikeWaters is and I'm glad 16 people got to read it before it was gone.

I actually read it as someone whiney calling out someone else for being whiney.

JohnnyLingo 06-06-2006 05:22 AM

That's fine. You can read whatever you want into my posts. I'm not going to stop you.

All I can do is post what I think in as clear a way as I can.

J.L. You are probably better liked here than your pride will allow you to admit. But I have to agree with you... I am surprised at how thin some people's skin can be over here.
