Hi everyone.

This site is a great site, we get to continue friendships, laugh, and blow off the cobwebs of our pressures and busy lives 'out there'.

Sometimes, stuff happens, when debating, and discussing different opinions, and sometimes people do lose their equilibrium.

As was the case of the thread that caused Spur to be banned, and Gypsy and I to be suspended from posting, we had a choice.

Spur made a choice to act the way he did, I had a choice to respond or leave the thread. I made that choice, although clearly knowing that I was breaching forum rules, and should have just left the thread completely, and reported the abuse.

I chose not to.

In return, that created a difficult situation for Mike. Imagine trying to be fair to everyone in a thread like that, not an easy job for anyone. I feel, for me, Mike did the best he could with what he has to work with, which are the forum rules, which we agree to abide by, by joining in the community section of this site.

Please don't give Mike a hard time on my account...remember I chose not to leave the thread. I chose to continue posting.

relax, enjoy the site, send Gypsy mail, we still have mailing privileges, which is pretty generous when you think about it, and Mike has taken the time to explain as much as he can to you.

See you in less than a week.....

signed the Incarcerated one...

Jess..

now lets do as she asks

after all this was for her to

I have sat here, and read this entire thread, while i do not know the thread in question, i do know this...If you break the rules, you pay the price. I'm a former forum moderator, and to be honest, I would have locked this thread at page 1. But our host graciously attempted to explain, something even i wouldn't have done. I think that shows a genuine concern for the members. As for this statement...
"I also don't agree and I also wonder why you don't answer e-mails from your members. You read them yet you don't respond. That certainly doesn't show me that the owners care too much."

I have mailed Mike and Vanchau More than a few times, I have received a reply every time, unless i added no reply needed. I'm sure you all can understand, it's a huge site, and forum posters make up a small percentage of members. Moreover, this is a free service, I would think you all could understand and appreciate that.

We all want html tags, we want other options, Well hey people..they can't work on that, and deal with all this. the best way to do your part, is to observe the rules. A few simple rules, thats not asking for much.

In closing, Please believe me, I love my friends and they are very special, as yours are to you! The best thing to do is mail them when they're out of line, I do mine, and you know what? we're still friends.
just my opinion.
have a great night/day
Mark

JESS!!!hope u readin this,im gonna miss u....hope u come back soon.i love what you have to say,your a straight up girl and in my books your a cool person,hope this means somethin to u!

OH AND I WAS SURPRISED YOU DIDNT BANNED GYPSY41 FOR THE COMMENTS ALSO FAIR IS FAIR....

Borrowing and analogy from philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer:

"Porcupines huddle together for warmth, but thier sharp quills prick each other, so they pull away. But then they get cold. They have to keep adjusting thier closeness and distance to keep from freezing and from getting pricked by thier fellow porcupines- the source of both comfort and pain.
We need to get close to each other to have a sense of community, to feel we're not alone in the world. but we need to keep our distance from each other to preserve our independence, so others don't impose or engulf us. This duality reflects the human condition. We are individual and social creatures. We need other people to survive, but we want to survive as individuals."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just thought this might explain some behavior tonight. Seems we are all cold and full of pricks.

Sexual harassment all the way. I just read throught the entire thread. The ladies were only defending themselves. Tit for tat........the men through the first clump of mud......dirty pool. Agreed the ladies delved into the lower levels to do so, but defend they did. That whole thread is so very wrong and Im glad it is still there for other women to read and know these sicko's

Ok, thanks for the info. All I can say is "short hairs" I'll shut up now

Alright! Sooooooo who doesn't care for me today? Who would like to see me banned or voluntarily leave. And/or who would like me to stay? Just wondering.

Kyle ...be good we thought we were going to lose you a while back....remember.
Your staying

I thought this was the time and place to do this democratically. I think people who get offended easily but never comment so but just run to moderators instantly.....well I find them amusing. Just wanted to know who didn't like me today. Face me.
