Getting on the Banned Wagon?

[28eliminator]

So, PVHC's thread got me thinking. How does this work?

I've been on every boating message board there is, and other message boards too, since they appeared on the net...but I've never found myself being banned, placed in time-out, infracted, retracted, redacted....nothing.

Is it really due to pissing off a single person, or is it that some people just don't know when (or can't) STFU?

Which is it?

I think it's the "STFU" part you mentioned

I've managed to keep myself off the "Banned Wagon" as well, mainly because of 2 reasons

1. I don't give a fuck

2. I use a lot of these

I got my first vacation for using the "C" word..(im sure you can figure it out) It got me a weeks vacation..but ever since I might get a PM to watch where I'm going with my subjects but thats about it...

No doubt some one was mortified.

You can say ANYTHING if you use enough smileys

That's kind of my style too. I enjoy all the input, stories, and pics, but take other's opinions and advice on an "as-is" basis, lol.

Naw, none of that stuff matters.

It only matters if someone that can directly affect the re-sale or advertising "value" of a given site is upset.

For instance, I can drive Brown straight to the insane asylum on any given day, force him into repeated phone calls to RD to "make Tommy stop being mean" and RD will ask me to lay off so Brown will quit pestering him.


If I did even a fraction of that to some one who actually mattered, like a sponsor, I'd be beaten and discarded like a renegade razor scooter thug.

That's because its all about the MONEY. SHOW ME THE MONEY! '

Money can, will and does trump all, including integrity.

Exactly my point, Jenkins!

I got banned once for indirectly(okay it was directly) calling a moderator a Douche. The funny part was after the banning, the owner of the site called me up and profusely apologized to me, telling me that I shouldn't have been banned. He asked me if I could just sit out the three days so he didn't piss of his moderator by unbanning me since his moderator works for free. lol

Not defending him at all, but that's a lame ass statement. Money to you and money to me must mean two very different things!!
