I've been suspended twice. I never saw either of them coming, either. Other times, I have made comments that I was sure would get me kicked out, with nary a response from anyone.

I was banned for saying something about Mormon God having a penis. They don't like the word "penis" on MAD. I should have said he had a wiener. Or a pee-pee. Or a ding-dong. Or, as my daughter Annie said about my friend's dog, "Hey! He has a wenis!"

I've been banned twice. The first time before I even posted a single time (I think they were trying to catch all of a certain poster's sock puppets, and thought my ID was one of them). Don't know why I was banned the second time. It was part of one of those purges. Maybe because I asserted that their claim of copyright to posts was bogus, and cited federal law to back it up?

Well, I was banned for...I am not quite sure, actually. Charity, could you help me out and find out why gramps was banned?

I do know why, but it was for nothing I did on the MADness board.

I simply agreed to Scratch's suggestion to bring up the inter-racial marriage issue in the thread in which I was participating.

The next morning, I was part of the second great purge, and never went back.

I was not banned for what I said. I was banned for who I am.

I think they prefer euphemistic phrases like "being anatomically complete". Had you used a capital "P" instead of penis, you would have been suspended instead.

As I recall you were banned for mentioning polygamy being practiced after the 1890 Manifesto.

Of course you were banned as part of the mass bannings that claimed me, runtu, and others.

They banned you and Runtu? I haven't been paying attention. When did this happen?

This was back in Feb of 07. Runtu and I were unbanned at some point.

Okay, I thought you were saying there was another purge and I was wondering how I survived. ;)
