Hey, I posted a link to this place on Timezone and surprise, surprise, Michael Sadler the compassionate and level headed guy that he is, banned me. Boo hoo, i'm SO upset  .... NOT! LOL ;D ;D ;D At least mods from TZ don't go onto other forums looking to make themselves feel important. That's one good thing about the TZ mods. ;D ;D |

That's one good thing about the TZ mods. ;D ;D Well, I hate to see anyone get into any sort of trouble on my account, but I appreciate your efforts to promote the forum. ;D I'm sort of two-minded on this issue - one one hand, I certainly don't condone anyone knowingly violating the rules of any discussion forum. On the other hand though, it's such a stupid rule - not allowing links to other discussion forums. You'd think they would want to cooperate with other sites in the online community, not alienate them.  John |

Were the three banned brothers ;D Indeed we are! ;D Mike, I slightly modified your post above....while I agree with the sentiment, and I want everyone here to feel free to be critical in a respectful light, I want to be careful not to stoop to the same level as <aheam> other boards. I've been insulted, bashed, and vilified on WUS and other boards, but I don't want us doing the same. Let's show 'em were better than that guys!  John |

Agreed ;D John you're right about the silliness of the no link rule at TZ. The first time I got a warning from MS there was because someone wanted to see a pic of a nicely finished PP movement. I guess they're set up the same as you, i.e., you need a web host to download pics. I didn't know this, couldn't load a pic from my C drive, so linked it to the sit (a PP enthusiast site), and got the shot across the bow. So in trying to simply help someone, I get my knuckles wrapped. Silly. The link wasn't even to a PP forum. As for knowingly breaking a rule, I'm not upset by losing the right to participate there. Pfffffffffft! ;D Anyway, while I'm all for sharing of information, belittling others or showing off on a forum is like pi$$ing in the wind. If you need to be so "powerful" online, it shows you are powerless in real life. So sad that some live and die by internet forums. I got sucked into the forum vortex with that other Rolex place and it consumed my life. Granted it was during a very slow time professionally and personally I had just become a father and was on night feeding duty so I had a lot of spare time when the house was quiet. So it consumed me and that's when you take things personally on a forum and believe you have some sort of ownership of the forum. Getting that monkey off my back was liberating and while I participate here, at WUS and an automotive forum to a degree, it's not nearly at the same level as before. And it won't be again. So banned brothers, as much as I like to poke away at my whipping boy at WUS, I won't do it here. But email is always a good alternative.  |
