Why Jefe has punished many of us.
 

It's because of stuff he reads here. He reads our posts here and his blood boils. I have no doubt he's a chronic lurker, that it's an obsession with him. He takes it out on us over there. When he exed me I'd hardly been there for weeks.

I wish I could comment on this but I want to keep my CB membership open.

This is exactly why you need to use different names when you post on different boards.

Not that I post enough on either to be a blip on anyone's radar.

Too late RCV. Guilty by association.

Mark Grace?

Probably true.

I still maintain that giving Lingo the full Santos was a masterstroke by Jefe. A perfect FU to the rebels on CG.

I still have full CB posting priviledges. To what ill-fated stroke of bad luck do you attribute being afflicted with my presence?

Your undenying support for the status quo and lack of antagonistic remarks toward the moderators.

JL likes to piss off the mods.

You would think so, but no. I think I have less than 50 total posts on CB. I like it to get the latest news, but hate it as a conversation board. Basically no conversation can last more than 10 minutes.

You'd think this board is different in that respect, but in reality, very few worthwhile points are made beyond the first few posts in a thread. After that point, the thread devolves into a never-ending cycle of bashing and rehashing.

Bull crap. As usual you have your head up your butt.

Not true, when threadjacks occur, some of the more interesting discussion occurs later on, which is the reason why I sometimes break it off.

Indeed, I initially wondered how you guys have managed to get such gigantic post counts, but then I remembered how much more conducive this format is to actual discussion. CB is conducive to drive-by ignorance at worst, or one point with 20 repetitious responses to that point at best. Hail CG!

Are you trying to devolve this thread?

Are you trying to be counted as one of the intellectuals. What the hell does devolve mean.

I never thought you would avail yourself the opportunity to use bouffant words.

cb bannings
 

I'm currently banned on the cb. I'm in appeal process. Anything good come from that? I was originally accused of one thing, and when the mods had to take that one back, they changed the allegation. Now , I sent a 2 page appeal to the 2 allegations and asked jefe to even call me to discuss, before he jumps to conclusions. No response so far. I think some of his mods really are jealous of some folks, and very young and rude; i.e. tim etc.

LOL, Tim isn't even a mod. I'm the young and rude one. :)

Pardon my ignorance, but what would they be jealous of?

bow staff skills?

Heh ... proctologist, honor code, mullahs, yada yada yada.

Viper:

I'm not a moderator. I'm actually an anti-moderator. I'm on the "Rules Committee," which El Jefe put together as a means of making sure the moderators don't have too much power. We read appeals and then offer recommendations on the appeals.

To be honest, I read your initial appeal, and it sucked. All you did was play the victim -- you went on and on about how unfair you felt it was, how El Jefe must have it out for you, etc. You called El Jefe "stupid" and "so ridiculous." Not exactly what I would consider a reasonable appeal worth paying attention to.

And the fact remains that El Jefe suspended you for advertising your business on the site, which he does to everyone who advertises their business on the site. I don't necessarily agree with all of Jefe's rules, but they are what they are (Paging Dennis Green: "They are [what] we that they were."), and you and I and everyone else on the board agreed to them at signup time.

Next time I'd recommend a more reserved and respectful appeal. I would actually encourage you to try it now, even.

Tim

LOL!

I was hoping you would join in the discussion on what is porn and what isn't. I haven't heard from the head up their butt crowd on that one yet.

Sounds like you're the ghost writer for venemous viper's appeals process.

I write my own. They usually go like this. I respect and like all of you mods. I disagree with why I am being suspended. Here is why.......................................... However, this is not an appeal because I don't really care if I can't post a few days.

I just wanted to write and let you know on this issue, you have your heads up your butts.

That sounds like a sweet gig. How does one go about getting on the Rules Committee?

It has to do with Tim, Jefe and a Gerbil.

:)

Why do I find myself gravitating to BYU71's posts? I guess he's just a very good writer, regardless of where his head may or may not be.

I'd hit it.

Why would anyone expend that much energy on an appeal for CB? You do realize they can't tax you, right?

I actually agree with Tim on something.

So how did the rules committee rule on me being banned for the religion category?

I actually agree with Tim also.
 

I sent an appeal of both the allegations, he came up with. Tim, thanks for not calling me "dude". I'm way past that age...

LOL!!!!

Ouch.

It's still better than being called a crotchety old fart.

Appeal process is where I did some of my best work.

Well it was memorable anyway.

I've decided I'm going to try really hard not to get sucked into any other discussions on CB other than just sports. Somehow the extreme mullah posts suck me in. If you don't think/act/post the same ideas as the general mullah populatuion, you're banned. Free thinking is absolutely forbidden in that place. I'll come here if I want intelligent conversation on non-sports related topics. I'm pissed I didn't learn about CG until recently.
