It's that simple.

I don't know how knowing this is going to make you wiser. Some people don't like people all up in their business like a nosey neighbor. We are not here to humilate members either.

Would you like to go to the doctor for treatment of Aids, a sexually transmitted disease, pregnancy, impotence, etc and while you were walking out of the office have some guy come on over a loudspeaker and announce why you were there? I doubt it. Also see expungement.



Well ask that member and if you are that close to them you will know how to contact them and if they choose to, then they can tell you.


Again, I'm sure it doesn't bother most of us most of the time but we are not going to go around breaking someone's confidentiality and privacy just because you are curious.
I don't really know what to say to this. Other than I think you've gone of course with your reply. IAP said we shouldn't question their judgment because it makes them unhappy. If I want to ask a question there is nothing wrong in that. I wasn't defining it to asking about banned members (using it as an example), I mean anything. If I want to question the rules then I can. If I want to question some one's moderating then I can. Although I guess it should be done over PM's as opposed to threads. However we don't have PM's, plus the report feature is for serious offences. I'm not saying I should be able to request a members private information. But asking if a member was banned over an unfair grudge (I don't believe that's what it was Stinky, just an example), or rule breaking is hardly a breach of privacy. The OP wasn't even asking that. They didn't even ask about the member, rather questioning stinky's actions. So there you have it. That is what I'm saying.

By the way can I have Mr. Weeds date of birth, e mail, home address, and phone number? Thanks.

I'm not trying to be asshole, but you just ripped into me for nothing. Assuming I'm some kind of fool.
Nation_1ne Reviewed by Nation_1ne on . I've got two questions (for Stinky) first things first.. why is talk of legal drugs againts the rules.. wouldn't that class things like talk of painkillers is against the rules aswell. (i know this is a privately owned site so whatever the owner wants.. happens, but i was just wondering. second question.(for stinky) i know this will probably piss you off (im sorry). but why did you ban mr weed? i didn't like him myself but i didn't know you could get banned for being a hipocrit.<(sp?) ps i know it seems like i answered my Rating: 5
