You know...when I first started browsing this site...and then thought of registering, I was disturbed by the increasing number of members that were banned. I could never really figure out why they had been banned. Some of them even seemed like cool people that were all of a sudden banned for no reason.

I almost didn't register, because I didn't even know what "banning" meant. I mean, what else comes with a ban? There were some obvious ones...flamers and little kids, so I kinda got the picture. So, I decided to register anyway, and hopefully not be banned, because that would interfere with the flow of my growlog.

I never read the rules to the forum. Even until now. Never. I just used my basic common sense, and it seems to have done alright for me so far.

I stay out of the Religion & Politics forums, and any other touchy subject. If I do EVER voice my opinion in those threads, I do so with utmost caution, and always proofread my posts so I don't sound like I'm coming off as attacking anyone. There is a way to express ANYTHING you would like to say without being an ignorant, flaming jerk about it.

The closest I even came to anything like a ban or reprimand was when one of my threads was deleted. I was so surprised. I had been very careful not to attack and to use mature terms to express my frustration with a certain member. I realized that the thread was only deleted because my opinions, however eloquently stated, stirred up stupidity and "flame wars" on the part of other members. Thus, MY thread was deleted. It's fine. It was trivial anyway. I got my point across and people read it.

Mainly what I guess I'm saying is that after being here for about 6 months, I've noticed that it is not as easy to get banned as I once thought. 99.9% of people who get banned are either uneducated, impulsive youngsters (or young-minded people) who do not understand the ramifications of attacking someone and/or spouting offensive comments on a PERMANENTLY RECORDED PUBLIC MESSAGE BOARD. The closest comparison I can conjure up is going to a public town meeting and starting a fistfight over lawn height. It's absurd, immature and ridiculous.

NOW, after typing this, I'm sure that Mrs. G might take offense, and I surely hope she does not, because I respect her and like her as a member. She's certainly funny and contributes a lot to the site. She is missed in the Cultivation section (it is SO dead in there right now)...and I was SURPRISED when she was banned. I think I was the first to notice.

BUT...she is also a person who says what she thinks and when you post that much in that short of a period of time, it's hard to filter everything and some borderline stuff might slip out. There is also something to be said about taunting and 'giving into taunts.'

There are MANY a day that I want to just lay into some people on this board, and I actually have, then I go and edit my post after I re-read it and realize how it might seem through another persons perspective. On top of that, I'm lucky I don't have as much time to post as some of you, cuz I'm sure I'd slip up some day.

I'm not going to speak for her, but I'm sure she would regret getting into a battle of words with someone on here like that, and maybe she just didn't have her filter on that day.We all make mistakes. I'm sure she's learned her lesson. I just wish everyone could.


...then we could all have peace. Awww isn't that just f**king sweet?

Welcome back Mrs. G. You're free today...why aren't you back posting?!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I hate to harsh your mellow, Fog, but I don't really regret it. I knew when I hit "post" what the consequences would be, and I paid them happily. It was worth it to me. It's hard to put into words, and I don't want to start a shitstorm, but I'd be happy to talk to you about it offsite. Download my vcard and get my email addy.

This also applies to anyone else who would like to know what happened. Feel free to write me. I don't mind discussing it offsite.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

there are two schools of thought concerning your banning. the first is that you were using this forum to sell mail order plutonium to third world dictators. the second has something to do with underage seedlings and some rather nasty unnatural acts. though we are sure that you are innocent of these charges, we have set up a press conference on march 18th on the white house lawn so that we can hear your side of the story. invitations have been sent out to all of the major media outlets; but so far the only ones that have answered have been norml, above the influence and a representative from marvel comics.

Damn Chinese pea pods.

glad your back!!!!!!! lets burn one!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Right on! But I'll have to do it later. I'm one of those people who does nothing useful when they're baked. All I want to do is watch cartoons and color with my crayons and sharpies. I become instantly 5 years old.

i have been watching this thread....before i close it, since it is solved with mrsgj saying anyone can contact her for banning info, i have to have my say...

first of all, as i have said so many times before, we do this on a volunteer basis, and have a lot to do, at that....so adding something ELSE like a public list, well, it is just one more thing to do around here..that one thing will turn into countless posts from people who agree, disagree, want to know more, it is never ending....so, as stated several times before, the decisions mods make is between the mods and members...not only these reasons, but lets be real...there are always 3 sides to a story, yours, mine, and the truth....leaves no room for anyone to question if the subject isnt put out there....this policy isnt going to change.....
