    That seems like a trifling matter to get booted over.

    Still, one less liberal would help me out on this board. Keep it up Kat!! :)

    I don't know, it won't be long though. Kat doesn't like me.

    BTW, This isn't a whine thread. I just wanted to say bye to the cool people here before being perma-banned.

    Well if this is goodbye, good luck Ryan. You are a fun guy to read. Kat, give him a break. He brings a lot to the pit.

    I gotta agree. I like having you around. Sometimes I agree with you and other times not so much but I've always appreciated your presence. That said, I do think you need to chill a bit cause a month from now, you might have gone down blazing, but you'll be gone and the mods (whether you think they are right or wrong) will come out on top. Its not worth the "glory".

    Anyways, regardless of other people's actions and the names that have been thrown around, you were wrong for stooping ot personal insults and attacks ie. calling thumbingmyway "thick" even if you think it was quite benign. Apologize and move on but don't gripe.

    The guy accused me of being anti-american and I said "I do care [about americans] but your too [fucking] thick to see that"

    Sorry Thumbingmyway. I get upset when people make accusations like that and it happens all the time on the AMT. I get sick of it, and especially when I solely get banned for something as "benign" as "thick" next to "nazi" and "anti-american".

    Apparently yes, you can call someone "Nazi", "Anti-Semite", "Anti-American", "Pro-Death" or "Small-Minded" and all that is ok, but if you call Thumbingmyway "thick" then your up for ban.

    It might help to stop asking for explanations from people who incapable of backing up the rhetoric they spew. It's purely nonsense and not worth getting under your skin. I've learned to ignore their same old crap while at the same time being thankful that most of us out there are nothing like them.

    And if you still can't help but be irritated by them use your ignore function. I mean, let's face it...you know what they're gonna say before they type it, anyways. :)

    To be honest. I was replying to about 15 posts at the same time and confused Thumbingmyway with the others also calling me Anti-American. Thumbing still said it, but in "nicer" words I suppose.

    WTF is rosa parks? Just asking.

    Nah, because Kat doesn't listen to my side of the story or anything. She just bans me, and when I e-mail her to ask why, she ignores me. Then she threatens to ban me over something as ridiculous as this.

    It does for me, because I don't feel like getting in worse. If Kat really needs to ban me, then I will ultimately respect that decision, by not trying to post via a proxy or something.

    she just bans me too. you dont get an explanation. she's busy, she doesn't have time to act as judge and jury and weigh the comparative merits of every case and read through long whiny rants about how "it isnt fair." if she sees you out of line, she gives you a time out. doesn't mean she doesn't like you. rather, i hope not cos ive been banned a LOT of times. get over your persecution complex man... you're still posting. what's there to be upset about? even if this was mild, maybe it's not this in particular but recent trends. ive been banned and thought the particular reason seemed a little light, but then i realized id been a jackass for a few days and they just drew the line somewhere. let it go.

    rosa parks was a heroic american black woman who refused to give up her seat on a bus to protest the evils of segregation in the south. kinda like you're a heroic message pit poster who refuses to back down and apologize to protest the evils of kat's horrible oppression of the bbs.

    I'm not sure why the mods would give you forewarning of banishment. Just kinda weird.

    Just say that by the word "thick", you meant "Thicke" as in "Alan Thicke", who played the psychiatrist dad in the 80's sitcom growing pains. You call people Thicke when you want to praise them for being insightful and patient parents, but you have a habit of forgetting that "e" at the end.

    getting in worse? some people have been banned a dozen times and re-registered under a new name. i dont think they charge them $23000 or whatever it says. but then, it'd be kinda nice if some people had the same character *cough*corporatewhore*cough* but hey, your call dude.

    Man, I'm going to respect their authority over the website in those regards. I'm not going to try anything. It's their world ultimately.
