    @Patsy Faye @Gloria Mitchell
    You are gracious, to say the least, for excusing my "French" profanity, if Biblical words qualify as profane (never understood that). Matter of fact, I carried on several discussions with the Admin there, who increasingly became more disturbed by me, as it seems he cannot understand the concept of man-to-man talk. His last words were, "Why can't you just post like everybody else?" Not sure what he meant by that, but upon leaving email and attempting to log in at the forum, he had already kicked me out.

    Wish I could meet him face to face just one time!

    I think he has mellowed a lot since then. If he is still there.

    I was under the impression he owned the forum. Certainly curious that others who were banned have been reinstated, but not l'il old me. Perhaps it's because my reputation precedes me!

    I'm there too, and ain't been banned yet, but don't really care much if I was. Been banned from so many I lost count. Its pretty easy. Got banned from raymond.cc for being an unapologetic XP Pro user. Probably from bleepingcomputer for daring to criticize the beloved CA nazis, and asking which mitmproxy would best circumvent their embedded certificate store...don't know for sure, as I haven't been back for another serving of flak. Reddit is a good forum where you can say what you think, and dissidents are not 'auto-banned'.

    Many of us here were either banned “there” or just left because of the rudeness of some of the people on that forum. Even though we have disagreements here, we all are careful to respect each other as a person (one we care about), and do not just intentionally offend another member of the forum.
    I was pretty sure that your ban there was off when they unbanned the rest of us, @Frank Sanoica , and since you have not been there for several years, I can’t imagine why they would re-instate the ban.
    Anyway, we all like you here , and it is their tough luck not to have you .
    I still post some there, mostly on the health forums, or the conspiracy group, but this is my “home “ on the internet.

    I find this a very friendly place and I would not go looking for trouble.

    They haven't gotten around to banning me yet either.

    The problem with that forum is that it has quite a few members who were the cause of the trouble on the forum mentioned in the OP...jumping from pan to fire with that one..

    I get a temp ban at least 3 times a year on the Over50s.

    Last one was for a month for saying that the forum was Anti American.

    I was also a member of that forum till I wished all my Jewish friends a Happy New Year..
    I was told to delete the thread and this nonsense wasn't tolerated on there..
    I received 2 different PM's from different people asking me to stop that immediately and Judaism remarks were not welcomed on there.. One was from a Matrix (whoever he is) and the other was from... I forget her name.. its been a few years and I have never returned and I won't..
    I felt insulted so I left to come on here where everyone seems to be more open..

    @Steve North "One was from a Matrix (whoever he is)"

    Matrix owns the forum.
