Banned by AOL

You know, I think WebTV's are great! No viruses, no frequent patch downloads, you just turn it on and it works fine.

Interesting comment. I forgot all about webTV. It has attractive advantages, especially in these pop-up "Wild West" days of the internet. I have a clandestine popup program that has nearly destroyed this computer. Can't find it;don't know where to look. Downloads such as spy-bot, anti-virus, etc, help, but can't excavate it. Cookies and programs run without prompting. Good thing it's an oldie.

I'll order a dozen.

(Guffaws...)If he got the Spam I get, a dozen would be mighty easy to order.

I'm in a rural area with antiquated phone lines & with AOL 9.0 optimixed, I'm faster than the gubmint state of the art LAN system at work. Where am I going wrong here?

There is something seriously wrong with the LAN at work, or its interface with the internet. Perhaps they've deliberately slowed it down to discourage surfing on the job.

I wouldn't even wish AOL on OBL. Well, maybe him but few others.

Censoring everyone's email seems like a Marxist thing to do, so I am not surprised.

I'm torn between thinking that e-mail ought to have the same legal protections as snail-mail, and thinking that the government should keep its grubby little hands off of the internet.

AOsmelL has the Blue Star Mother's web host blocked too. We did nothing wrong it just that they don't like our web host. They want for people to use their approved list for web sites.People shouldn't walk away from AOL they should run!!

Then Contact AOL ALL!
AOL rapes the unwitting citizen

[armymarinemom]

Oh believe me I have contacted AOL. I'm not a customer but I still contact them.

"banned by aol" makes me think of the Groucho line "i would not join a club that would have me as a member" or something like that...

[atomic conspiracy]

How ironic. AOL itself is blocked at Little Green Footballs because it seems to be the favorite point of origin for neo-nazi, lefty moonbeam, and Euro-bigot trolls who show up there to spew half-literate terror-apologist progaganda and recycled Goebbels conspiracy theories.

[Libertina]

AOL is bad all the way round. Stay away.

[Tribune7]

AOL is a shlock company. One is better off without them.

[Libertina]

BTW Nice poem ;)

Funny. I've always thought of you as more a Penis Breath...

[Choose Ye This Day]

Isn't that Pan-African stuff essentially the same thing as Mecha's Aztlan for hispanos? It sounds to my uneducated ears that Kwanzaa is essentially a celebration of an organization that wants to SECEDE a geographical territory away from the U.S. so that it can be an all-black country. Huh? That doesn't sound good...

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

I had an AOL screen-name which provided a little website space. I posted a how-to-contact-Congress site there. Needless to say, it had a right-wing tinge. It was mentioned in WND and served a worthwhile purpose.

One fine day, AOL erased the whole thing.

They are scum. I don't trust 'em as far as I could kick 'em.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Folks, Ann Coulter's take on Kwanzaa is required reading: http://www.anncoulter.org/columns/2002/122402.htm

And Kathy's poem is magnificent. If someone here can bring it to Ann's attention, I'm sure it'd be appreciated. Ann, if you're lurking, it's at http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=5914 and is a total hoot.

[IncPen]

Funny. I've always thought of you as more a Penis Breath...

Cruel, cruel, cruel.

I'll take my revenge in poker chips...

[FierceDraka]

I've said it before, and I say it again:

Friends Don't Let Friends use AOL
