If you used your avatar from this site as your signature line on cougarboard, how long would you get suspended?

Your avatar makes me laugh every time I see it. I vote you keep it.

That's not really true. Maybe sometime I'll post a full explanation. I kept it all saved in a Word. But, it's boring.

The gist of it was that I was getting my posts deleted and/or modified (which pissed me off even more) and getting little three day/seven day suspensions all the time, and it was getting more and more frequent. And everytime I'd get pissed off and we'd have arguments about the value of censorship and what his vision and objectives for CB was (missionary tool, etc.). They deleted a post about Samuelson and the Whittingham non-hire and gave me seven day suspension for "speaking ill of the Lord's annointed", I went off on the moderators and the concept of censoring and Jefe gave me lifetime ban. Pretty disappointing for those looking for fireworks, really.

I feel exactly as though I've found out that the legendary family hero two generations back for whom I was named not only didn't have super strength but was a drunkard and a pedophile as well.

No, you can complain about that if you like. Even I have complained about mod overreaction before, if you can believe it.

But CB is ultimately El Jefe's world, and you live by his purview if you choose to go there. No one pulled those dollars out of your hand.

LOL. This is great. To this day, Tex is still a non-donor on CB.
