Vent: Ugh..bad taste in my mouth from another board..

[squid13]

I am sorry the posters here got banned from the other board if you still wanted to participate there. It certainly was not my intention to start a (childish) "war." I simply needed to speak up here (and there) about what I saw as inappropriate comments made to someone seeking help.

Don't worry about it I never went there very much, all I can say is there very thin skinned.

Hmmm... sounds like another board I know about and someone else here knows about as well.

I thought only Obama/Obamacare threads were entitled to popcorn; let's put some melted butter on this one.

Bring on that melted butter now.

It just makes me appreciate what a great board this is.

Exactly. As a rule, we don't take "pot shots" at other forums. We don't need to. We can stand on our own without the need.

But when pot shots are taken at us (especially without any reason or merit behind it) -- we'll stand up and say "no fair" --

Just asking, how many got banned today from the other forum? I got banned.

I got banned, but not only that, any form of "madalot" was banned as well. I got in using numbers in front of it, but they banned that too.

I never joined, and I rarely look. What's the point?

[DoriC]

Its official. I've been banned for the first time in my life. Just wish it was for something more egregious, darn!...........

Well, well, aren't you just special! I really hope you're not upset about this. This is a new one for me, I must be naive but I never heard of such a thing on a public forum. That will teach all of you to stay home where you belong!!

[oak]

Apparently it is NOT a public forum, Dori...

At one point, a moderator said "We firmly believe..."

I guess its a religion.

[Madalot]

Well, it looks they are banning not just by name, but by IP address. I cleared out all my cookies (I had to login in here again) --

I can't access their forum at all, getting the "you are banned" message.

Dictators.

[oak]

Well, under the circumstances Madalot, I think its no great loss...

[mollete]

You all must have nothing better to do.

Yeah, pretty much.

After mowing the lawn and boffing the old lady my Saturday's pretty much done.

That said, it's still a helluva lot better than sitting in front of the MF computer doing a name search for Madalot* and deleting forum accounts.

Asshole.

Believe me, I am not crying over it. This is the only cpap forum I frequent anyway. I guess I just hate injustice and all of us being banned is over the top, in my humble opinion.

Yes, I am banned using my computer & my internet connection, but HELLO??? I have a smartphone and when I turned the wifi off and used my data -- bingo. I could set up a name/email address and join that way. I won't because I don't care, but let's be real here. Banning based on IP address ain't going to solve it.

If we went and posted our comments on their forum, I could understand our being banned. But to come here, read, then ban us? I don't know. Something very wrong with that mentality and attitude. Kind of unbalanced, you know? To be that worried about what we say here about them?

That said, it's still a helluva lot better than sitting in front of the MF computer doing a name search for Madalot* and deleting forum accounts.

Asshole.

I tried madalot with a ton of different numbers after it, finally got in with 411madalot, only to have that banned within about two minutes. My regular email addresses were banned, now my IP is banned.

Me think my comments are little too honest and true for their liking. They're going to a lot of trouble to keep me out, but as I said -- if I want to get back in, I can. But I won't because I'm getting bored with them.

Your forum account is currently banned. Ban Reason: Unknown
Ban will be lifted: Unknown You think they would at least have the decency to send you an email to explain why you were banned, doesn't say much for their character.

Can't wait to hear what you do on Sunday! On second thought, don't tell me!
