Okay Im sorry your in pain but this is getting old. How many posts do we have to make about banned members? If you break the rules you get banned. Its a free site with Rules. If they didnt read them then I am sorry but that was their choice to make.

Make new friends Rman. Or the ones you really care about swap other contact information ie yahoo messanger

Its a support site and there are other people here as well. Yeah we connect with different people in different ways. But just like a break up or divorce you need to learn to move past it. Not make protest signs and picket.

Also - do you think that these posts are really going to help new memers? Seriously do you? I dont think that they will.

Whatever.

p.s. - Is this only about the new members?

lilBB - wow, harsh....

Does he really deserve a smack down when he is already smarting from losing friends?

WTH???

I'm sorry, Rman. I've only been on for a couple of weeks, but I've already connected with several people that I would really, really miss if they were gone.

I can't imagine how I would cope if I'd known them for years.

((((rman))))

No its not just about banned members Rman. I read your posts as well as anyone else who posts. I post on the boards, journal, and PM members in need.

Maybe it was harsh. But I am not going to enable anyone to not pick themselves up.

Post about why your really hurting. Or heck I have seen it said time and time here before post this kind of stuff in the OT thread. That is what it is there for.

Joking posts are good they are healing. This however is not.

Sup Bro. I am with you...a little extreme with the murder part...but I know you are making a point and being sarcastic...and I respect that!

What is not sarcasm is the reasoning behind some of the people who happened to be my friends...being banned on the site. There have been some instances where I do not believe people warranted being banned for violation of the ROR, at least by the standards that I read...

I will not point fingers at a particular person or group, not my style, but I will say that there has to be a better system of justice which is clearly explained just like the ROR is explained. I feel that as it stands now...the system of being warned or banned is very inconsistent. If this is a public site shouldn't the system of warning or banning be public to the users of this site so at least "we the people" can understand and know the consquence of an erroneous action.

*steps off my soap box*

...my shiny nickel's worth.

That is why there is an ignore button. What helps you, may not help me. I've spent almost two years helping people on here. I've more than paid my dues. But now look. I'm on DS getting insulted. Get my drift?

This topic seems to have been started twice. Below is what I posted on the other....except I have this to add to the OP:

You've NEVER once responded to one single post I've put up in the last year except if it was to chime in with your "friends" to be vicious and mean to me. It's OVER...they ain't coming back....unless they come back as a troll. I for one am SO, SO glad.

As another poster said....this thread about the banned ones is getting really old. Go talk to them on FB or that other site they are on....or maybe you could develop some new friendships.

Here to help Rman!

What do you need?

People that aren't here anymore are gone for a reason.

Life changes....people on DS come and go, as it should be. This is a stopover....not a permanent residence.

Surely you can get in touch with those so, so important to you. If not, perhaps that should tell you something.

Wow, hello SNARKY

I guess she told you Rman

not the same place it used to be unfortunately.....it was a very unique dynamic. I miss it as well.
Open forum, open thoughts.
Too bad that doesn't happen anymore.....it's what made the board.
If you don't like someone or their opinion....hit ignore.....its why the button was created....... Everyone has the right to be here.
Maybe missing the banned members is part of the struggle at the moment.
Sigh......the old crew.....miss you all.....
*rolls in keg for old times*
PS- this is really the first I have spoken about this.......

lilBipolar, that's all well and good til one of your friends gets banned for not breaking the rules....... said my peace.

@Lkess

I am still around to share a budlight with ya *cheers and hugs* it's Friday!

captiva...what the hell does this have to do with you?

happy now? i just responded to you and my friends weren't even here...huh...imagine that?

plenty.....I put up with crap from your "friends" for the last year
