Looks Like Might be Over for Me at MAAD, also (mms)

Post by _mms »

Well, as of this morning, I can no longer post. Not sure why, as I cannot see it described anywhere on the board. I found somethign Juliann stated to be fascinating. gtaggart said that he did not consider me a bomb thrower, but was clearly saddened that I am a tithe-paying member that, in his view, only casts the Church/leaders in a negative light. Juliann responded with:

I think these are the most insisdious because they are such good wigglers they are hard to stop yet they probably do the most to create a noxious board.



This illustrates perfectly how much she and so many others just don't get it. Many of us are not "good wigglers"--it simply appears that we are because of our current conflict and crisis of faith. On one day we are feeling positive and our posts might reflect it. On another day we are irritated by a particular nagging issue, or a particularly aggressive TBM, such as Juliann, Selek or Pahoran, and our posts may reflect that. Thus, the "wiggle" is the result of our sincereity--a current conflict/crisis/state of doubts and questioning. It is not some calculated effort.

I just checked, and you're not listed as banned. Perhaps you're suspended? And no, I can't see what happened to get you that way.

Try clearing your cookies for the site and clearing your cache, to see if that makes a difference.

that is what they did to me first - first it was no posting and then when I made a response that they did not like (which was nothing more than a history lesson), boom!
I want to fly!

Cleared cookies/cache and see, now, that I have been suspended until December 25th. Looks like they suspended me while they consider banning me and others they (meaning Juliann) perceive as "bomb throwers".

I haven't been suspended yet (this time) but I have a feeling my days are also numbered.

I was suspended last week until the 28th. Of course, I kind of deserved it...

Ever since Juliann started that vote, I've been refreshing my view from time to time to make sure I still could. So far so good. I wonder, I've posted in a few threads there lately. I wonder if Juliann considers me a bomb-thrower.
