Remember
USA Today:
I tried to log on the website today and got the message: YOU HAVE BEEN PERMANENTLY BANNED. I recall that 2-3-4 years ago I posted on that website for some time. I like to kid around and clown up. Jazzing the ladies. Some got outrageously jealous. During one period I was clowning and kidding and the "old witch moderator" got her nose out of joint because I was ribbing one poster who was also apparently a moderator. So she banned me. I think the banning was three fold: * I was a member of Infragard which made them very nervous and apparently paranoid. I collaborate with the FBI for infrastructure protection but I do NOT monitor websites nor member postings. That is just not my bag. * I kiddingly suggested to the poster, who was another moderator, that I was superman with the strength of 10 men, blagging of course and he should watch his step. I live in New York. He lives in Oregon !!!!!!!!!!!!!! * The moderators posted enough to permit the assumption that their attitudes strongly suggested they were like the Montana Freemen, anti government. Pro rebels sympathetic to the likes of Randy Weaver and several others. Calling the FBI jack booted thugs. Further they promoted the theory that GW Bush was involved in the conspiracy to destroy the WTC and crash into the Pentagon. Back during that period there was another fruit cake that was allied with Chris Simcox, but split off. He was a real piece of work and eccentric. He and his wife joined a competitor of this subject website and they went into it hammering eachother. I have been banned from numerous websites over the years. Almost invariably the owners and moderators act like omnipotent dictators who become very unreasonable suppressing free speech. Invariably I have gone back and re-registered under a different name and password and often from a different computer and invariably I have been approved to post. However, I NEVER, EVER post under an assumed name. I just wanted to make a point. If YOU can get me reinstated I will post again. Last edited by wetibbe; 06-27-2011 at 07:39 AM. |

Thanks all of you , I've known many of you for a lot of years , Bill , I'd love to have you back and I will see about getting that ban lifted , You have always been an asset
As for me and this forum , I have been concentrating a lot on getting the corner cooking , But I still read this forum usually every day , I also talk to other members here on other forums. As I said , my goal is not to rob Peter to Pay Paul as far as forums , I belong to several forums and I've always thought we should be diversified, There is good info that shows up on all our forums that don't always get reported on one or another , Your all welcome to drop by for a visit Bill , I'll get that banned taken care of asap Larry / usatoday |

I can't help but wonder what would have happened had the colonists "diversified" in 1776 |

13 colonies became 50 states Those 50 states working together became the greatest country on earth. There is strength in numbers , We have thousands of orgs and forums all working on their own , If we all had a living working network between them , we would be unbeatable. |

The very American notion of democracy is now being used in the name of "diversity" to destroy what America is, or what it became within the lifetimes of those who do remember the '60s. We are supposed to become "us", not a divisive "salad bowl" of endless conflict.

57 states not 50 ! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>> USA Tody: Re: Patriots Corner: You're a moderator there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see new moderator names. Didn't spend much time perusing but I don't see the name of the old moderator that banned me 3 -4 years back. Nor the guy I was kidding around with either. Seems as though once a ban is embedded in the software it just stays there indefinitely. The gal that banned me actually was not even involved in the exchange of posts and had an amicable relationship previously with no complains. She just came and blind sided. The Guy wasn't even offended or excited nor complained, he mostly laughed. We two also had an amicable relationship. I learned that many people on these websites are essentially humorless and it does not pay to joke around. "She" was on a tear that day ripping into everyone, even some docile, polite women. So much so that some posters asked: "What's up with that". I guess that some females have their days - you know ! When they approach midlife. BTW you mention that you post in several websites. May I ask the addresses. I'll check them out. Thanks: Bill Tibbe Footnote: Without being patronizing this website is virtually devoid of controversy. The most polite and respectful of any I have been on. I think that is a testament to the caliber of the participants. Last edited by wetibbe; 06-28-2011 at 05:15 AM. |

Now let's see what the payoff for that bit of joking around is.
