3 day suspension for me
I asked a question about why we pretend Pakistan is our ally. and then tagged to that I put "Snipe? Tex?"
Which was soliciting an answer from them. 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. |

if I'm not considered an asset to the board over there, so be it. no more helping people over the phone or through boardmails about their mentally ill relative. etc. Kicking me off would be doing me a favor. I'll probably help someone and get sued. |

A big part of his following are those who sit back and gripe and moan about people who don't fit the "BYU mold". Go talk to a Bishop. They all have members who come in continually complaining about how other members of the ward act. They are vocal and as such get paid attention to, much like a hemroid. Your suspension and agreeing to sign to rules, confirm your allegience to the herd, which satisfies them. Rules and punishment are what these types understand. I am not sure I would do it any other way if I were Jefe. I do miss being on the board to needle those folks. The "rather lose and have no honor code violations crowd." Sadly they don't frequent this board. |

Jefe rakes in the money. It's all about the money at the end of the day.
he has done the calculus that having me around causes him to lose money. he may find the opposite is true. |

I have followed BYU71's lead and no longer post there, because I know I will break my promise to follow the rules. Of course, nobody's clamoring for me to return. I feel better not breaking the rules and not reading it any more.

Personally I have no animosity toward Jefe or that board. I just have fundamental differences in how it is run and I can't overlook them anymore. |

Agreed. It was about my feelings and not what it would or wouldn't do to their board. I still read it though. More for info though like I read TBS.

yeah, I have no illusions that there would be any sort of indignation or outpouring.
It's time for me to pull down my cowboy hat, turn my horse around and ride out of town. |
