Not realizing that it was even closed, a few minutes earlier I emailed our long lost friend Jeannie. I had not contacted her in almost a year except wishing her a happy birthday this year. I talked to her about life never mentioning this board once. At one time she was a heavy contributor here but since Jeanie was sent away I've gradually lost interest AMT. Byrnzie and Jeannie were also wonderful and at times cantankerous contributors but with a positive, delightful thoughts in what they had to say. Even though myself I have time to be here often since I'm on a 4 month long hiatus from work after ankle reconstructive surgery. I've chosen not be here as often as I would like.
I have no clue why he would be banned now, but I do know that he was a full throttle attacker, relentless in attempting to shut me down a couple months ago. I didn't buy it, I simply ignored him.
Too bad no one else seems to notice that.
See, at least u knew how to handle it like an adult. Just ignore him if you didn't agree. I know it's hard, I have a hard time ignoring some of the shit said on here (I'm Muslim, get my drift lol) but to cry about it to the mods or for the mods to treat this forum like we're a bunch of kids is comical. This bands been around for over 20+ years, nothing that's said to us personally should offend. I don't think pj has to many thin skinned fans who get offended easily. I think those are the type who don't mingle or post anyways. But to ban, in this day, 2014, for speaking or posting your mind is censorship and WRONG. We live in America (some of us) and if we can't speak what's on our minds, what's the purpose then? Imagine if Eddie was told what to write about and what NOT to write about? Imagine the music we'd have then? Popsicle in the ass would sound GREAT! Ya byrnzie gave it to people he didn't agree with no doubt. But that shouldn't be taken personally. I think and know byrnzie would be more offended by the message and info he's giving being silenced then people name calling him or whatever. He doesn't care about petty shit, it's the message and information that needs to be addressed towards the issues at hand. This place has taken a big hit no doubt with his silencing. Not cool
Edit- and not for nothing, you did ask him and fuck to leave the "anti-war" thread before it was locked. That is kind of trying to shut him down. I'm just saying. He can't defend himself on here so let's be honest too.
This place like all other things in our lives has changed, hopefully this place will change for the better. I'm not sure it it can though as we continue to see and say goodbye to longtime members and positive contributors. This is the first I can recall saying this but I'm not far behind. I liked it here, I've learned so much since one of my first posts 9/11 Mysteries which blew up on the first day to 7 pages. I said back then THIS IS the place for me now it appears it might not be for me anymore. To all the new folks who have come aboard carry the torch and try to make this place the best it can be. Do remember we are here in the end share our thoughts, passioned feelings in love and delivered in peace never with malice.
Carry on my wonderful friends....look out for one and the another.....as my musician friend Michael Franti would say....STAY HUMAN.
Peace
