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

I must be naive but I never heard of such a thing on a public forum.

It is not a public forum. It is privately owned and operated. The owners and the moderators can say whatever they want to as long as they don't break any laws. They solely have choice over who is allowed to post.

cpaptalk dot com is privately owned and operated. They can say whatever they want. I think it is neat that they have taken the approach of "barely moderated". It speaks well of their view of mankind.

And, IMO, it works very well!

(If we could just get Avi to shut up. )

Use your "foe" button; it saves me a lot of irritation.

[StuUnderPressure]

Well, I just saw that I too was "banned".

And, I had NOT previously posted in this Subject thread, nor have I said anything bad about them, posted any links, etc.

Is there any possiblity that the Forum is just having some sort of problems?

Stu thats just plain WEIRD. I would think you would get a different kind of message if they were having server problems or something.

I can log in & access their "manuals" section, but I can't access the "Forum" itself.

Strange indeed.

Well, if it turns out there's just some technical issue and we're not all really banned, I'll have to eat crow and apologize.

Considering, however, how long it took me to register trying with variations of my username, I seriously doubt I'll have to worry about apologizing.

I can also "donate" to the forum.

They don't want me, but they will accept my money???

Can't wait to hear what you do on Sunday!

Why, go to church, of course!

And I may continue to putz with my Dodge Minivan. The transmission sounds almost like it hangs up between gears, but a look in the oil pan revealed no metal dust/shavings, so I don't think it's a mortal wound. Changed out the solenoid pack (common issue in the A604 transmissions):



and it's much better. I'm thinking (hoping) that some stuff is just dirty. When I dropped the pan I noticed the filter had become dislodged so it wasn't filtering properly (if at all). I think I'll just let it ride (ha) for a while and see what happens.

Not concerned about myself. I see him giving bad info to noobs. Glad that Pugsy is there to help the noobs.

[mollete]

Hmm, input speed sensor.

That looks important.

Mayhaps I should put that back.

[snuginarug]

hehe...


This is a test, just a test. One two one two, is the mic working?

[snuginarug]

Simply saying something on this thread did not get me banned.

Now how about this: I believe the people here who are saying they have been banned there for things said here.

[BlackSpinner]

They are probably banning anyone who posts on cpapalk

SAD if that's the case. Well, I wish them luck.......not my cup of tea.

[snuginarug]

Well, they have not banned me so far, but perhaps they are on their lunch break.

Let's try this: They are stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herders. I'd rather kiss a wookie!
