Why Jefe has punished many of us.

I believe it would look like this:

"I loved Sis. Beck's talk. "

A mod once sent me a PM saying I was crossing the line when disagreed with a poster stating that JS had never married a 14 year old girl. After I sent him several links, he apologized and took off the handcuffs.

Nothing good happens after dark, you see. That's when most folks copulate."

Jefe told me he also didn't like the word copulate. LOL.

It's insulting and condescending...so what was your point?

Last week there was some irritation going on. Jefe is usually pretty congenial with me when he bounces me. He let me know he was not going to tolerate the "leader bashing". I got the understanding I wasn't being singled out, but I did get suspended so I guess I was convicted of the charge.

I don't bash leaders. I may on occassion take issue with what they say, but that is not leader bashing.

I don't even think you Indy believe in blindly following leaders.

Yeah, that was real benign. Again, it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Good luck learning to be a little more tactful next time.

Gimme a break. I was joking. Again, jefe stated that anyone who uses the word mullah would be banned, and that copulate is a naughty word. It wasn't the tone of the message that got me banned. I then pointed out to him all of the filthy words on CB used to describe procreation, and that copulate is rather clean, but he doesn't like me so that's that.

I was joking. Only an extremist would be offended by the word copulate.

Whoever it is that he had labeled as a mullah. I can't remember which specific posters were involved in the discussions regarding Sister Beck's talk, so I can't cite usernames for you. I do remember reading that post though, and thinking at the time that it would come down as soon as a moderate spotted it.

I don't disagree that it's not an offensive word, but I am still unable to understand why there was a need to make use of it in a post about Sister Beck's talk.

Some "jokes" aren't funny.

Easy there BDB. I wasn't referring to anyone specific in the post. Someone slammed sis beck's talk late at night, and I pointed out that he wouldn't be getting any responses that late. Again, jefe specifically states that the words mullah and copulation got me banned, not for attacking anyone personally.
