Ledpig- If you had a product you were selling and a forum that was an enhancement for that product, and people were getting PO'd on your forums because they were getting flamed and were no longer buying your product, you sure would clean it up. If you want a forum where anything goes they're out there- however, this isn't one of them, so respect that and follow the rules.
Trax- You posted something entirely inappropiate and had your thread locked...are you saying that you don't get that little voice in the back of your head that tells you not to do something that might be wrong? C'mon, bud- I don't believe for a New York second you can't diferentiate between appropiate and inappropiate posting.
Diablo- Like many I had a shades, but rarely posted on it- I had it to have access to the search function, and discovered my parolee status while searching for the Chantelle Mallard thread. At first I thought Skuzzy was teasing us, but then Nuke posted so I knew it was for real.
Blue- All we could do was read the forums- no response, no search. You have no idea how many times I screamed out in frustration when someone would post something really, really stupid, and then others would agree with something that was really, really stupid...at one point I had a mini breakdown even, but that, a year at a Tibetan monestary and trying to herd my wife's cats has taught me patience.
To my fellow parolees- There were a couple of threads locked because of our actions...personally I don't care if you get banned again, but the threads that were locked were actually pretty intresting and had the promise of a good discussion, until you guys hopped in and ruined it.
Anyways I've said my piece. I intend to post in a civil manner and stay within the framework of the rules as I can make my point without namecalling and flaming, and I'm certain most of you parolees can too....and I've got a feeling that those of you who can't will be gone soon enough, and you'll have only yourself to blame.
