I haven't. *looks at the glowing halo above my head* :p

Share your story, or storIES if you're really a demon. These turned out to be quite funny on other MBs i visited.

I've quit them before but I've never been banned.

Hehe...kind of like quitting a job before you get fired, lol?

This is the first time Ive ever participated in one

I have been "corrected " here due to my aggresiviveness and very politley done at that but never banned as Im still here

I think im still here

lilthingsADDup,

Your post's are alway's welcome here as long as they are supportive and not inflamatory or destructive to another's already fragile ego. That goes for EVERYONE and is NOT a direct attack on you personally.

We must alway's treat other's with respect and consideration. There is a reason this is a SUPPORT forum. Everyone has an opinion but we must remember that is all it is--an OPINION. We cannot feel another's pain therefore it should NEVER be trivialized.

Now to answer your question I have never been banned myself but have been corrected with kindness. I'm open to CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.

Hugs,
Cherity

Nucking_Futs, I'm shocked that you haven't been banned from somewhere before, you seem very sassy!

But, that's cool, I love sassy people! I'm sassy myself.

I'm sorry that you feel I am sassy. Perhaps your right but I do not tolerate abusing another's feeling's for the amusement of others. I never have and never will.

Now, this is the first forum I have ever taken part in so I'm sure if given the proper amount of time I will find myself banned. I'm not one for holding back.

What's wrong with sassy?

I don't feel anything is wrong with being sassy as long as it is not done to hurt another on purpose.

I was a moderator here for awhile and was let go one day on the spot....it was fun while it lasted....otherwise never let go of a message board....

In my opinion, if a message board rejects me -- its THEIR loss....

HUGS joan I cannot imagine anyone rejecting you.

Ive never been banned from a message board though when younger I was banned from chat. It took alot of maturity to relize the difference between opting to follow the rules of a community that I joined, or finding one that allowed me to behave in any manner I chose. I was banned from pow wow chat ( now defunct native american owned chat) three times. It was g rated communities I had freely joined and just as freely broke the rules. It was a place that I had said I aggreed to the terms of service, and then broke the rules. Once I realized I had the freedom to choose to move on or garner what I could from this community wanted and chose to be a part of, suddenly I was no longer talking to mods about my behaviour.

I have message boards , chats and groups I am a member of that i can speak in any terms I so choose,and I use that freedom to the fullest, and I have certain groups and message boards I chose to join that moderate how the members talk to allow for a open community for children and adults who are uncomfortable in that aptmosphere. I am free to leave at any time I feel the restrictions are too much for me. I use my ability to click off and on to something and do not rely on others to dance around me.

Amen.

I don't even like the message in this thread. Have you ever been banned???? Everyone here (now ALMOST everyone here) has been kind, supportive, able to have fun and be compassionate at the same time. So why talk about how funny it is to be banned from a message board? Futs- I don't think you're sassy! Actually I think this MB allows a lot of leeway as long as you're not out of bounds, negative or graphic. Moderators....great job,,thanks for keeping it clean!

Actully being hauled in on the carpet with the MOD Squad can posible do someone like me a lot of good as sometimes I dont quite relize how aggressive I can be.

All they have ever done is slap my typing fingers(all 9 of them), but have also been very LIBERAL with what can be allowed


3 cheers for the MOD SQUAD

My 2 Can-ADD-ian cents worth

If you don't like the message of this thread, then don't read. :cool:

lilthingsADDup,

You may not necessarily agree with someone else's opinion, but you ARE being asked to respect others here who post theirs. I have seen everyone else who has responded to you in this and other posts, respond with kindness and respect. I have NOT seen the same in your responses.

Should anything I have written remain unclear to you, please refer to the Forum etiquette guidelines (http://www.addforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2281) before responding to this or any other thread.

Thanks,

This is the first forum I have wrote more than once to.
I feel trampled on other forums. This forum people are courteous.
~~~~~THANKYOU~~~~~~~~~~~
I find this a reasonable subject if one is curious.

I don't think your sassy on this board in the least Cherity.

Sometimes I think I am a little too opinionated sounding and could raise someones dander. Mostly because I don't take the time to clarify my mood when writing it.

Which happens to be very loving and empathetic.. Pat.. pat.. pat..

IN my original post to this thread I tried to make clear that I was NOT directly attacking you personally littlethingsADDup I only found your post to be the perfect opportunity to remind EVERYONE--myself included to remember other's feeling's when posting. I believe there would not be so much bickering in the forum and nobody would have to be called on the floor if before we hit the "submit button" we ask ourselves one question. IF I WERE GETTING THIS REPLY WOULD IT HURT OR UPSET ME. I honestly believe the answer to this one question is directly related to the forum guidelines.

I want to thank everyone for taking time out of your day to make me feel better. But, obviously lilthingsADDup felt attacked by me (though not my intended goal) it is still a feeling and an opinion I will keep in mind in future post's. I could have explained my thought's a lot better then I did the first time around.

The forum's are here to help us learn and grow as people. So, I take lilthingsADDup calling me "SASSY" as constructive criticism and nothing more.

How's that for a ramble? lol But, my point remains the same I ask EVERYONE (myself included) to remember EVERYONE has an opinion and when you pose a question to the group you may get many different reaction's. I ask that you remember to treat other's and their opinion's with kindness and thoughtfulness. We are never going to agree on the same thing's it's not human nature nor should it be, it does not however give us free reign to walk all over someone who disagrees with us.

I honestly don't find anything wrong with this question it does make me curious as to why it's being asked and in what context though. But, I would like to warn everyone that I am watching this thread very closely and if I see ONE more disrespectful comment I will close the thread. So, please be gentle with each other.

Hugs for everyone

OK< OK <
I wasnt as kind or as courteous as I could have been. I am sorry I responded while I was ticked off. I should have waited. The whole thing now doesn't seem to be that big a deal. But I do want this forum to remain positive and upbeat. Thanks for everyone's two cents :D

chrissy - you were on pow-wow? so was i. i was sorry to see it shut down....
I have never been banned from a message board - i am a member on about.com (various).

i do my best to behave. (i leave the screams and foul language for the moronic drivers i must share the road with).

:D

LOl yes years ago i was sort of in and out during the aol phase near the end. I used to hang out in new users 2 though I did go to alot of users rooms who i knew through chat. My id was lilcrystal, and i was quite obnoxious (hence having to beg my way back in three times to Mod Michael and a few others) I've learned to choose my battles while Im still a rebel without a clue most days, Im much better at it.

I was so sad to see it close too, and i still miss it alot.

lol Thank you ladies. ANd a very good idea for pent up frustration release. I'm gonna have to give it a try.

IMHO..The Golden Rule Should Apply Regardless of what we do as people living in a very fast growing society.

"Do un to others as you will have done to you."

EXACTLY thank you spirit. If practiced continually here it will become a habit outside of the forum's only benefitting your entire life. Hugs to everyone it has been a stressful day for a lot of us here and you all deserve them.

what does IMHO mean?

In My Honest Opinion

ty ty ty

IMHO= In my honest opinion

How Funny! I always thought it meant "in my humble opinion", oh well, I guess that's practically the same thing.

I'm pretty sure it means in my humble opinion too, so I dunno why I use it all the time, as I am not humble at all :D

I thought it was humble also but honest works too.

Wayward you can change it to IMUHO

I've been using IMNSHO, In My Not So Humble Opinion... :D

I also use LMSO... Laugh My Shell Off :D :D :D

I do agree, Nucking_Futs, you are sassy and it's a good thing !

You so sassy well :D

WOW this really bother's me,,,I honestly don't mean to come across as sassy. I guess I really do need to go back to rambling. But, I take all in as a form of CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM and thank you.

Never been banned, this is only one of two message boards I'm on and I don't go to chat rooms.

NO NO NO !!! I love your personality here...don't change it....Please, your awsome... It was ment , from me as a very good thing to be....I wish I was more sassy

lol OK I'm sorry I just worry that I don't alway's convey my thought's as clearly as I think I should have. OK so I'll take it as a compliment. *grins* Your pretty great yourself you know.

When did I say being sassy is a bad thing? Actually, I thought you were sassy, not because what you said, but because of your username. It looks like F-ing Nuts, lol.

I still don't understand what's wrong with sassy! It's a GOOD trait! :D :D :D

I just alway's took sassy as another way of saying b**ch. I'm starting to look at it differently and your right about my user name I just put a little twist on it so it wouldn't be rejected.

I suppose sassy is interpreted in different lights.

See, I take the "B" word as a compliment...lol

lol

lol Only you Tara Only you.

N Futs- I think being Sassy is cute!

lol britawn I'm starting to see the word in a new light and to be honest I think I like being sassy and from your avator I think you may have little sassy in you as well. lol

I have only been kicked out of 2 places -

1) Boyscouts ..... but I was just a child.
2) Bed .... again I was just a child.

Not very helpfull to ones self estime!


Um ... just wondering - what do you have to do to get banned?
Although that probably looks like im asking "how to" I 'm not. I am often missunderstood! I have read some of the rules for these forums but I have moments of forgetfullness....

Are there any examples stressing what NOT to do?

Oh - just remembered
3) church
4)almost every camp ground I went to as a teen.
5) School - only temp. and ... Yep! I was just a child.
6) my own house (several times - as a teen )

I guess weve all had a bit of this eh?

Just remember to be polite and considerate of other's feeling's and you will be just fine diesel,,,I personally have never seen you be anything other than what I have stated above. So, keep up the good work and think before you post. Now that's one rule I myself have a little trouble with. *blushes*

Diesel, you sound like me a bit,
I know it's nuthin ta be proud of but......
I got kicked out of walmart-no I didn't steal. Just breaking the speed limit in the store. (They still let me come in)
Oh and another time, for having too much fun in the parking lot. Impromtu jam session while waiting for a friend. Police came, we took pictures on the police car hood, they even flashed the lights for the picture.
Kicked off the track team cause I wouldn't wear shoes.
I was kicked out of a renn fair for accepting tips..
The list goes on and on and on............I just realized there is a pattern here!
Under my name on the web, the police are taking me to their car.
Such shame I have brought to my family! Actually my mom is a rebel too.

OK if we are being this honest. I have been kicked out of church for calling our pastor a fascist pig (but, I was 12 and just liked the words lol). I've been kicked out of history class several times in high school (my teacher was a draft dodger and I took a lot of liberty with the information) and I have been asked to leave the Girl Scout meeting's on a couple of occasion's because I didn't want to learn all that stupid girlie stuff (who in their right mind needs to know how to cook, clean, be polite and have kids I mean really---*rolls eyes* if only I knew then what i know now). My husband has kicked me out of the car for laughing at his temper while driving--luckily he felt guilty and came back for me which only made me laugh harder). I'm kinda bad that way:D

I got kicked out of school for accidentally spitting on the teacher. They thought I did it on purpose. I wish I had. :D :D :D

Thats funny!

I just had an awsome morning laugh! It seems so funny to me that there is this long list of um a -"Events" that follow us.

My wife always introduces me as " this is Dave .... and life is and always will be a never ending adventure" I take it as a copmliment...

Its nice to be able to laugh at a all these things...Im still chuckling after reading all the above posts .

lol I think your wife is sweet

dave, I *love* your wife's line. very nice.

so, ummm, wellll.....

there was this one time, at band camp ...

actually, in high school english class. i challenged the teacher (who was being a complete *hypocrite!!!*) and *he* stormed out of the room after losing his temper with me. He didn't come back until the end of class!!! We all sat there in stunned silence. Oh well, I'll be remebered at high school reunions at least. ;)

lol I love it,,,a little challenging is good for us.

I haven't been kicked out...and I hope I never am.

SASSY IS GOOD

Never been banned

When they call you a b***h, say "Thank you."

"B**ch" means== Babe In Total Control of Herself.

Just read this thread from the begining - should do that first though shouldnt I?

What a livelly group! I love it. I realized that I guess we do portray an "online" personallity.

Some comments I wish to express - Sassy is VERY good - Thats what attracted me to my Wife.

Nucking - futs (love that name ) - Take the sassy thing as a GREAT compliment - Hope this comes across correctly "no one ever kicks a dead dog!" You portray a livelly image - dont we all want that!!

I also want to thank you for all the help that you gave me when i first made my obnoxious / insulting posts (due to ignorance of course).

I Love the B**ch word too! Nothing sexier than a woman that knows what she wants and ain't afraid to go get it!!

I noticed my comments earlier did not fit in with the flow of the discussion - sorry.

And thank you ALL for the kind words in response to my post(s).

AND ... like I havent said too much already... I see nothing wrong with having a little fun with our "misadventures" of the past (and perhaps present) If we cant laugh about ourselves ... Forgot my thought here..

I m not exactly proud of the silly and many times stupid or dangerous things ive done, but it sure feels good to express them to someone!!

Especially people that seem to "get it" that understand where your comming from.

Lets all laugh together and try not too take ourselves too seriouslly.

Lifes short - we will do better to enjoy it! For the most part all the posts I have read in these forums portray a kind of "jovial" spirit.

I like that.

I feel a sense of rambling going on ... For the record - I hate to edit, so sorry if the tangent thing happends - or if things arnt too well connected ...

I always start out with a good thought an then it fragments as soon as I start typing.

yes on the discovery channel msg. board for Monster garage.
we were comparing american hot rod to monster garage and I guess they didn't like us bashing their home boy boyd coddington
but I am here for another reason, to get answers and exchange ideas. plus everyone has been really nice so far so i don't see any problems with this site. treat people like you would want to be treated...... seems to work for me.

Ahhhhhh...I haven't got the boot? :cool:

I couldn't post yesterday for some reason. I thought "hmrph did they kick my behind to the curb?" I guess not, because I'm baaaaaaaaaack! :p

Welcome back lilthingsADDup

Lefty that is exactly what the forum's goal is. If you feel someone has abused your right's or is offensive please make use of the "report this post to a moderator" button at the bottom of the post.

Diesel, I felt I heard confusion and great pain in your first few post's. I reacted much the same way. I think many of us were the same way. The important issue is your educating yourself and growing by leaps and bounds. Your definatly an asset to the forum's. Hugs

Thanks NF

And you did read correctly -

i look back only a short while ago and Im not even sure who that was. The dark cloud is definitly on its way out! Its not like me to be so confused and bitter. Hopefully that was just part of the proscces and is gone now.

Once in a while it does return; luckily, you now have the tools and knowledge to combat such issue's. Hugs keep growing and learning to love yourself that is the first step in living with ADD.

It may not come as a surprise to learn that I have been kicked off of two sites. The first time a guy kicked me off of his EzBoard site for insulting his favorite porn star. (Sorry I am not a fan of silicone.) The second time was during primary season this year. I was kicked off a political site for complimenting the wrong candidate. I figured anybody from that party would be acceptable but apparently you can only push their guy on that site. My guy didn’t win but theirs didn’t ether so now they don’t have much to talk about anyhow.
