Is ACOLKitty's current 41 day ban too harsh?

[MichaeltheGreat]

Jason - I'm not hot about it.

Lazarus / BF***ingBunny described the thread, said his recollection might be wrong, but he thought it had got deleted.

"The deleted porn thread was posted by "annoying_git". Is that login yours?"

There was absolutely nothing he said to infer that he either posted a porn thread, or was the AE Ann mentioned. No basis for it at all.

He did post something about suspecting a spot of revisionism. As Lazarus and the Gimp on ACOL, he posted something far less flattering about the ACOL flap.

So it just seems funny that Ann would ask a question that has no apparent basis but suggests something discrediting about a poster she didn't know, but who said something that suggested criticism or disbelief of her posts.

At any rate, ACOL "business" is not going to spill over here to this site.

Cool avatar, BTW, the Peltier case is a disgrace.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Oi, hang on a second. I didn't see any baseless accusations. As far as I'm concerned that was a straight question.

AnnC. No- I'm not "annoying git", though some might dispute that. What I posted was just a risque joke that disappeared. I think it probably involved descriptions of genitalia at some point, but to tell the truth I can't remember it.

After I posted it, someone mentioned that it might get deleted. It vanished and I wasn't too bothered about it. It may have been a technical glitch for all I know.

BFB - fair enough, we each have our own interpretations. No problem.

Per my ICQ conversations with Kitty starting a few days ago, the ban on her will be lifted after the original ten days has run, which is today. Despite her earlier professed rambunctiousness, she has (apparently) abided by the ban, which was my whole point in extending the penalty period.

She's now released.

This thread is moot.

Might have fallen off the first page into the abyss. There have been a lot of new topics posted over the last few weeks.

Not a clue as to why.

Time to chill out people

the movie Pearl Harbor with the "sucks like a Dutch hooker" remark.

That remark deserves a commendation - not a condemnation!

I think the initial 10 days and the 3 weeks for the DL's is fair enough - but the other ten days seems a bit out of order and smacks of an authoritarian arbitrariness...

Must be an imposter, the real Mobius would never use temperate or non vitriolic language about this.

Hey, let's just slap another 41 days on Kitty's ban. If she doesn't like it she can email/pm MtG and he'll remove it (if her attitude improves.). Venom too.

BFB - Sexually explicit material is not allowed, something with the service agreement she signed to get the site. Since you;ve admitted that it imight have been that, it probably was. I've said many hostile/rude things on ACOL I haven't been banned or had a post deleted. I haven't known ann to just trivially delete threads for any reason. So unless you posted the aforementioned stuff or smiley bombed a thread or similar, it had to be a forum glitch (one of those that makes my Apolyon logins disappear maybe?

If your truly curious, you can email ann and I'm sure she'll get back to you when she has the time.

MtG: I didn't mean to imply that you two hated each other, but more or less that you two need a break from each other. As you and I both know that this isn't in Ann's character (which is usually impecable) to ban people or delete threads. From my view, Ann made a joke, without a smilie, so it was taken far more seriously than it should have, and you, like me, being a good spiteful southern felt the need to reply likewise, slinging any bit of dirt you could find (I would probably have done the same) I know you don't post at ACOL often (one of the reasons IIRC was Kitty and I's immaturity. I know that you and I quite often don't see I to eye. But hopefully you agree with me on the fact that this can be remedied in time. Unless you don't want to post at ACOL again, then don't bother with what I'm saying. I do plan on emailing Ann and seeing if things can be reversed - as I'm sure, while you don't post at ACOL much, you still don't want to lose all privledges there. (please suspend the crap that you don't care in slightest, as you do have friends there which I'm sure you'd wish to keep in touch with). I'm just trying to help out here.

I know you wish this whole thing dropped, I do as well. But I want it dropped with more positive results then lets take our ball and go home. I've tried to remain neutral in this, hoping that it would blow over, but sadly it didn't, so now I'm forcing myself into the middle of this, as I few you as part of the ACOL community - even as little as you post.

If you think I'm butting in where I don't belong, just let me know, I'll give up what so far seems to be a futile effort to make peace... but then again, what ever has stopped a southern from fighting a fight that he can't win.

PS. I don't think I got to congrtulate you on Ian's first steps, so good luck with the kick who can now reach anything and everything you don't want him to reach. I'll probably semd you a personal message later on about this if you do not mind.



Well best of luck however it goes.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Hey, Trip, I don't mind. We <i>don't</i> see eye to eye a good portion of the time, but we go way back, so you're a friend in my book.

[AnnC]

Bugs, I had no idea that you're Lazarus and the Gimp. That was the first thing I wanted to find out (your ACOL userid).

If your thread disappeared entirely and didn't simply sink off the page, it could be one of three things:

1. If you posted it in August 2000, it may have been one of the smilie-bombed threads that I had to delete.

2. Or it may have been moved to offline storage. The first 9999 Random Chat threads are offline. (There are a few exceptions, like the "Bump" thread.) I had to do that to recover disk space on the old server. But if your thread is in offline storage, I can find it if you'll tell me the subject line or give me some keywords to search for.

3. Or it may have been clobbered by a UBB bug that I don't know about. If that's the case, then I definitely want to find the thread since it indicates a problem that I need to address.

So do you remember the subject line?
