Of my 20 or so lifetime CB posts, probably half of them went into this effort. I believe someone named Vegas took the bait the hardest and was getting pretty ticked off that he couldn't see everyones posts.

My penalty - 14 days I believe.

The reason given - "Pretending to respond to a poster that wasn't there."

Not even worth an appeal, it was so ridiculous. But it made the afternoon much more tolerable.

I remember that, i was also involved and recieved 14 days, Vegas was going nuts that was awesome.

Yes, you and I were the only ones to get 14 days for that one. Everyone else either got a lesser penalty or were let off completely. Hmmm.

This is pretty weak, but I got a warning for calling Rush Limbaugh a 'blowhard.' When I replied back and even gave them the definition of what that was, he replied back that he didn't care. FWIW, there are 147 times that blowhard has been used on the board...mine was the one that got nailed. I don't remember who warned me.

One who likes Rush. Which means he is a switch-hitter.

But when you get banned, it's because Jefe is a fascist.

Got it.

Find where I complain about unfair bannings? Usually I know my bans are worth it. The few times that I have had serious beefs with my bans/ban lengths, I've usually had them shortened by the appeals process.

Doesn't mean I won't say "damn" because I get banned... but I don't bitch and whine like a teenage girl.

Then again, unlike you I am not a teenage girl. So I guess it makes sense.

That's where my feud with Pete started. He banned me for three days for calling Waters a troll. The word troll is used about 10 times a day and I've never gotten banned for it. Pete gets mod powers, starts throwing them around and that's it.

That's pretty funny. I wish i could have been a part of that.

I did a couple of days for that. Good times. And well worth it.

Hey EWTH, why can I receive boardmail but not send them? That doesn't make any sense.
