Not for long though!

Being banned was great. I realized how much time I waste reading/posting in GD, it's quite bad. I need to go cold turkey. It was interesting being able to read the threads but not post, because I was like man, I'm wasting sooo much time posting and arguing over stupid crap. So, can one of the mentors make the GD section hidden from my account. But leave all the other normal ones like Politics and philosophy etc.

...and the withdrawl shakes begin...shudder shudder shudder :smile:

PS: David Hasselhoff and Richard Simmons were NOT happy with my post...:wink:

I remember Cyrus was posting gay +hijacked pictures in relationship thread & one other one .. and then he disappeared :smile:.
 
Well, I'll probably won't be able to see this thread pretty soon!

Find me in any of the other sections, racking up warnings and infractions there instead :smile:

I'll also be on the sunday chats.

Ciao, adios, Khoda-fez, Sionarra, Auf Wiedersehen, Peace to the middle east!

I wondered where you went...Well, welcome back! Were you being bad again?

The only reason I noticed you were gone was because there was no complaining in the latest relationship thread.

If you want time off, just tell Greg to go *silence* himself for not banning you. Haha.

I noticed Crosson was also banned or given a time out. He seems like an intelligent poster and I've never seen him post anything non-serious or anything. Maybe it was an alternative Crosson or something.

Is there a list of why people are punished?
 
  • #25
PLEASE?!??

Reading the posts in Jasons thread makes me want to punch someone in the face. I can't take it anymore! :cry: :cry:

It's such stupid, pointless argument. Save me ahhhhh...why can't I have the will power to not read the threads...:frown:
