    Unhappy Well, blow me! 120 day ban from 'the other place'

    "Sorry, your posting rights have been temporarily suspended. The suspension is due to end on Feb 18 2009, 11:48 PM."

    Read the whole story [edit: it was the whole story; since then I've had a post removed, without explanation. It wasn't against forum guidelines as I generally see them applied] here: https://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/in...ic=205962&st=0

    It seems I may have been being too generous to think Jeremy had a (curious, but existant) sense of humour

    Well, I can't post there at the moment, and I have sent him a nice email via his profile (no response yet) so, for now, it seems he is.

    Anyone want to adopt 180+ caches?

    You're not gonna miss anything Paul - what, in all honesty, does go on over there?!

    Well PUP, I do love a good row, and there aren't nearly enough of those here.

    Mandy, this is the mail I sent to Jezza:

    "-- Copy of email sent to Jeremy --
    Hi Jeremy. You recently banned me from the GC forums for 120 days. I'm asking you to reconsider, as I, and I expect other people will, feel this is a bit excessive. I've changed my avatar and apologise for the distress borrowing yours for a day clearly caused.

    Still no response, so at the moment, I think he's either serious, or just not that funny. The thread was about heavy-handed forum moderation- the irony isn't lost on me.

    Hi all,
    just thought I'd pay a quick visit over to these forums.
    As I won't be here long.
    Just like to say thanks for the support, but I do think I deserved a little reprimand.
    Mostly due to my implications rather than the actual avatar "stealing", (as that's what it was.)
    120 days would have been somewhat draconian, but 3 days is quite acceptable.
    SP has his own motives I'm sure.(Cheers though SP!)
    See you in the "other place " soon.

    Kevin

    Why go back to the other place? Some people are making a concerted effort to get everyone here. Not me.... I'm now just trying to keep reminding myself not to get involved in the forums both here and there.

    One can't upset anyone if one keeps one's gob firmly shut!
    Cheers,
    Stuey

    I've just read through the idea of the "un-used medicines cache". :wacko:
