My cursor hovered over the "Submit" button for a good 30 seconds while I contemplated if this was a ban-worthy post. Mild as it was, I decided not to post it for fear of inciting the wrath of the mods there.
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...
So, even though I'd like to beat you sensless about the smilies, thanks for this board Shades!
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.
