Okay - maybe I'm just slow and this has been discussed at length already - but what Happened to "Texaggie79"?

[Caipirabob]

Confusing they're with their will get you booted for a good two weeks.

You're telling me? One time I misused a prepositional phrase and...

Do not underestimate the power of the Posting-Police!

According to Texaggie79 [just before they yanked him], tpaine was over a hundred years old . . . look what happened to him!

From having posted a vanity thread discussing the importance of valuing all of our individual participation in the forum and using that thought to comment on my old friend/debating-opponent's (Storm Orphan) departure and then having it get out of hand with posters commenting on Moderator management finally resulting in getting it pulled...I caution all of us to reflect on how difficult and thankless it is to try and run a website such as this.

Everyone deserves remembrance and valuation, tpaine and texaggie alike. Some weeks ago, Jim expressed his exasperation with the infighting and personalization on HIS website and said that "the gloves are off" or words to that effect. I hope that all that like to particate can return. Storm Orphan, tpaine, Texaggie79 and many others. But I also hope that the task of moderating this forum stays managable and the forum can appear in a manner that is a credit to the guy who has given so much to create it and keep it going.

Tex emailed and said he got this yester day:

Your posting privileges have been suspended until 2002-03-20 11:47:08

Looks like he will be back shortly

Well put.

I don't think that any of us on this post intend to question how the moderators do their job - nor disrespect them in any way.
I (at least) am simply seeking some information - and if they are not able/willing/don't have time - whatever - to supply that information - then no big deal. - just a question.

Thanks.

Author! Author! . . .or . . . Moderator! Moderator! Your eloquent explanation is both respected and appreciated. In my humble opinion Jim has created a website that reflects a 21st century "fruit" of our freedoms. Keep up the good work and God bless all your hearts.

Also, be very careful about your usage of it's and its.

Tell him I said "Hey" and that we look forward to his return. We Texans like a little vinegar in our salads.

[Hank Hill]

will do

[w_over_w]

It will NEVER happen again! I promise. I'm going to write that down on a piece of paper. This is what happens when you have a great Admn. Asst. that corrects all your memos/letters et al.

[KC Burke]

Thanks for the kind words.

[Hank Hill]

Just got another email. He still can't post even though his time has passed. Guess the AM has fallen asleep.......

[GSWarrior]

Texaggie79 is behind the Freeper NCAA tourney yahoo group. Wouldn't be surprised if he pops up tomorrow.

[Texaggie79]

I'm back, thanks for your concern

[socal_parrot]

Bite me!

Welcome back

[w_over_w]

How does it feel to have an entire Thread dedicated to you? Would you call it your 15 minutes of fame? Did you notice that nobody dedicated a Thread to tpaine? Yes, this is a FR interview and you're our celebrity guest.

[nunya bidness]

Welcome back.

I'm stuck in the beta zone.

[Texaggie79]

I think Hank posted one when I was suspended for an hour.

[Texaggie79]

Still feels good to be missed........
