One can only imagine...OT

[Plymouthy Adams]

I dropped off another forum and asked politely to terminate my membership as the era of time my car represents is not well represented and the recent rash of jokes, some off color, is a bit beyond what I want to read...here is what I got....

You have been banned for the following reason:

No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

Do you think someone took this personal? lol

[Joe Flanagan]

Yes. And they're people you wouldn't want to associate with anyway.

[randroid]

Tim,

I doubt anyone took it personally so much as that seems to be the tenor that particular forum has taken, which is why you chose to be excluded from it in the first place. I'd give some great analogies but that might be construed as being political and then I might get banned from here, lol.

I have shaken it off...I mean I chose to leave the forum and asked that I be discontinued as a member, just stuck me as they now consider me a 'undesireable entity'

life goes on...suck it up and put on my big boy briefs

[Niel Hoback]

Tim. I have areputation as an "undesirable entity". It ain't all that bad. People stop asking you to do stuff for them.

briefs? What are briefs? What are big boy briefs???? Better question, what are big girl briefs??????

[Plymouthy Adams]

just an expression that its time to be a bit adult and move along...as for big girl brief (panties) good to have to hang on the aerial in case of a breakdown along the highway..

[Joe Flanagan]

Aren't those called "bloomers?"

[Plymouthy Adams]

bloomers are size 14 and up

[Olddaddy]

I think they call them Depends..........I love being banned, can you

give me a hint on the forum name? I have been banned from a number of places I do not wish to frequent.

[Plymouthy Adams]

check you PM..for whatever reason they did what they did, I thought I left on a very positive note...I will not call names here in open forum..

Reprehensible reprobate!! I believe Mark Twain said it best;

"I could not recomend joining a club that had me as a member."

[dndrodshop]

Or was it WC Fields

"I refuse to be a member of any club willing to have me as a member"

[Big_John]

Well... If it makes you feel any better, I'm banned from a few forums.

[greg g]

I think you are correct, Ed.

[Jim Saraceno]

Or was it WC Fields

"I refuse to be a member of any club willing to have me as a member"

I've always heard it attributed to Groucho Marx but I've also heard it was originally Oscar Wilde.

But as things are often attributed to people who never said them you can understand why Yogi Berra is attributed to saying...

"I never said half those things I said!"

[Frank Elder]

Maybe being banned is the only way programmed into the system to remove someone from the members list...ask GTK, maybe it is a universal thing for all forum formats:confused:Or a hissy fit:D:D:eek:

[Plymouthy Adams]

I searched the site from end to end and under every gerneral topic/heading and FAQ..there was no such animal as a "unregister" of any sort or mention..maybe calling upon the head master to honor my request was above and beyond and exposed me to the "kiss of death" one has to take in consideration the general sway of a forum for undertones and especially political content..it takes nothing to get put on a "contrary to others" watchlist...its a sad time my friends..sad time indeed..

[T120]

Gee whiz Tim, Not too many things are banned nowadays.I think you are probably correct.Your request probably had someone scratching their head and they figured the only way they could accomplish your request was to "ban" you

I'm an admin at a small car forum. If you want to "delete" someone, its pretty easy. Banning isn't any easier or harder but some admins/mods like to flex their internet muscles.

[Plymouthy Adams]

lot of threads and comments on this forum don't make sense to me either at times but yet they are posted here..whats one more? and surely the letters OT makes one aware it is not strickly mopar related. Anyway..just thought their action was a bit uncalled for but hey..its their party I guess..

perhaps it might be the semantic difference between, Sorry you have decided to leave, we aprreciate your participation. and "BANNED FOR LIFE" you undesirable piece of crap.

Kinda like if you quit your subscription to Reader's Digest, and they send someone around to pull you mailbox up by the roots, burndown your Post Office, poison the postmaster's dog, and flatten all the Mail truck tires.

Or to quote one prominant legislator "like using an A bomb to kill an ant"

[P-12 Tommy]

Tim, People like that you don't need anyway!
