Did your mom tell you that you'd never feel pain? - Grow up.
'Do you realize how it feels to be banned without just cause?"
Yep, bin there, done that, can't say that it won't happen again.
"Do you realize what it's like to be lied about when you can't rebut the lie due to your banned status?"
Yes I do.
When I got banned, it was really a surprize. - I had been exchanging barbs with Mojo, but anybody here with a brain did that. - I got zapped for expressing the opinion that Jim had erred by giving Connie more authority than she was ready for. - It wasn't that I had any real gripe with either of them; in fact I greatly admired both of them then as I still do now. - But Jim was under heavy attack that day, and didn't have time or energy for deep analysis.
Then, after getting banned, I made the real mistake: I joined a chorus of others in reacting with anger, and let my mouth run on subjects upon which I lacked sufficient knowledge to comment.
I regret doing that; I had no idea what Jim was going through, or how dependant FR had become on the donations that were needed to keep running. - That was why the "coven" was able to attack with impunity, not because Jim was in agreement with them, but because he could no longer do it alone.
"I'm done with it. But for the next couple of hours, I plan to stick around and see what plays out. I fully expect to get banned, so the pain will be non-exsistant."
Wrong attitude.
- You didn't get banned for your message, but for being in the middle of a cloud of agravation that is choking FR to death.
Don't you see how important this site is? - Stay with us and support it. - And don't let the noise drown out the music.
Uh, no and no.
Hope that helps!
