My sad tale of banishment from the old board...I've been cancelled...

[Jerry1972]

This is mindboggling. I toggle between the sports and politics boards over there...and totally by mistake posted a political thread on the sports board on Saturday evening.

For some reason it was not taken down for 24 hours...during which time there was a vigorous -- and funny -- back and forth...with lots of abuse heaped on me for making the mistake.

Finally the post got removed, and I received a "warning" from moderator Richard in the Rivals mail to the effect that I was NOT banned but was being "warned" because of the post in question.

First time ever in years of posting that I got a "warning" for a post...and the reason was nothing abusive or threatening but because I mistakenly put a political thread on a sports board.

OK, I get that, though I was surprised...because a "warning" in such circumstances seems excessive, given the stuff they allow there, the fact there was no objectionable content in the mistaken post, and the fact they let it stand for an entire day.

So I responded privately to the e-mail warning along these lines, and this is pretty close to the exact quote: "Understood. It was an honest mistake. I'll try not to let it happen again. But it was a funny thread. And I hate like hell to lose the 'likes'... "

A few hours later, I tried to get to the board only to learn that I was suddenly "banned." My apparent crime: a private joking e-mail with the new Rutgers lord of the board. Evidently he took it as disrespect to his royal personage. Then again, he's a Rutgers guy, and most of them have an inferiority complex...Rutgers Al excepted.

I mean, seriously, Tom ticked me off on occasion by deleting this or that post, but this is beyond belief.

Oh well, I hope you guys will have me over here. My handle was Jerry on the old board, and hopefully you'll recall that I was a generally respectful and intelligent poster...though not averse to mixing it up on occasion. But in the times we live in, that's not enough to prevent a person from being cancelled.

I think i know what topic you were talking about you were piled on for sure. What do you expect from some of those wimpy posters over there . This is a better board, besides their site has Drew Allar rated at #69 not #19 not #9 -- #69. They know squat.

You seem to be overreacting to getting banned like a virgin responds to losing their flower. Once you get past the euphoric pain of the first incident, repeated acts put things in proper perspective.

You deserved to be canceled, there’s no room for errors or mistakes in sports board posting. Accuracy, diligence and stone hearted Spartan discipline to sports related stories are our hallmark. Never try that “oops” stuff here, because we don’t tolerate such caviler frivolity.

Clean sweep. Banned for life. Banned from everything. Cancelled and consigned to the 9th circle of hell...uh, if it has 9 circles. However many circles it has, I'm in the outer one. All for the crime of privately kidding with Lord Richard Fauntleroy, the king of New Brunswick, and failing to treat him with the reverence that is obviously his due.

But thank God I've found a sympathetic audience here...
