But I do owe him an apology in one respect, and that is in my previous thread in which I horribly distorted some exchanges on ZLMB, in which I attributed comments to Shades which were not made by him. I am sorry for this, and admit I was wrong.


Forgiveness freely granted.

It made me realize how glad I am to have a board where I don't have to wonder if any given post might be my last post.

Hell, this post my mark my last post at MAD...

Here is a quote from some idiot complaining MAD&d board
of his banishment from CARM.
This guy has to be so friccking blind & deranged not to see those fat Groditto MAD&d Moderators
hovering on the site with the same trigger-happy silencing mode.



**********
[b]A few days ago, I was banished from CARM (or CRAM) for commenting on the Bathroomgate thread on CARM. This was the exchange:

John Doe?:Why do Mormons molest their children??
BS artist: I'm Mormon, and I don't molest my children. But I don't know that
I would trust any of the Matt Slick or Aaron Shaf's crew around my
small children in a public restroom at the pageant, just based upon
their strange behavior at the event.
Just my opinion.
For this I was banished.
The date the ban was to be lifted was June 25, 7:00 p.m.. Today, I see the following message:
You have been banned for the following reason:
Per Administration, slander and libelous accusations

Date the ban will be lifted: Never
John Doe has been posting non-stop since that time up until now, without punishment.

I'll be the first to admit that my tolerance for raw bigotry is low. I get somewhat feisty. But, is it any wonder that the same type of "slander and libelous accusations" that they the Anti-Mormons make toward the LDS gets sanctioned.
The posts have since been removed from CARM so as to cover their tracks, I guess.

I also appreciate this board and the work that Keene and Shades do. As words really mean nothing, I finally got around to pulling out my checkbook and I invite everyone else who enjoys the board to do so also.

Thanks,

John

At least CARM has the decency to tell you that you've been banned and the reason!
