I don't know. The only places I ever cared to visit or post were the Penn State and Test-Politics boards, and I'm now persona non grata on both...for joking in an e-mail response to the moderator that I hated to lose my 'likes' when he finally, belatedly, removed the mistaken thread. The whole thing is so absurd it's comical.

What a shame.
Haha! NJ's moment of triumph. I'd say more, pal, but my *** might get banned here too. I could set the world indoor record for bannings in a single day...
Boo hoo...

Breaking News most aren’t funnyif it’s what I think it was - it had no business being posted on that board and you know it... only funny maybe if you have a goatee & fake Oakley sunglasses
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...
You should have just broken into his car. If you decide to put together a smash and grab let us know. I may or may not want my trophy back.

Wait, I thought he was already posting on this board under your moniker.
Just so I understand, you posted on the old board thinking it was the test board. All the other thread topics didn't give you a clue that you posted on the wrong board. You must have gone there repeatedly to check replies, each time "accidentally" logging onto the wrong board.
I don't buy it.
I don't buy it.
LOL neither did anyone else. Hence his perma ban. I wonder how long he'll last here? Do they even have mods on this site? Because judging from the VCU Hoops thread I say no.
I find it weird that the message board URLs on the old site still include "bwi". Maybe they're just big fans of the airport.
I believe he even admitted in the thread that it wasn’t the first time he “accidentally” posted something political on the wrong board.

The only *******, clever or otherwise, in this equation is the one who cancelled me NOT for a post -- read the freakin' OP, lamebrain -- but for a lighthearted and totally harmless private-message response, as described in the OP, to the private-message "warning" that he sent me.
I posted the story here: A) to vent; and B) to let people know as a pubic service that the new head mod over there has revealed himself to be a jerkwad.
Re the post in question, yes, I know it had no business being put on that board. Duh. There was never any question about that. It was posted there by mistake...even as a few weeks ago I mistakenly posted a football item on the politics board. There was nothing malicious about it in either case.
Now to those whose response is to sneer, there may be some things in the universe I care less about than your opinion...give me a minute...tick-tock, tick-tock...well no, after intense reflection it turns out there is nothing in the universe I care less about than your opinion.
Anyway, boys, Christmas is coming. The world continues to turn. And sadly there will be many more and worse injustices done in it this week than poor Jerry's message-board cancellation, which, as bkmnittany noted above, may be a blessing in disguise. Funny how many blessings come that way.
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 remember your unfortunate take on the Carl Nassib thread last summer.
It's hilarious how some people are cooking up a conspiracy about this.
Look, it's getting late in the evening. Had a drink or two. Focus not as sharp. Toggling back and forth between the sports and politics boards. And mistakenly post the wrong topic on the wrong board. My bad. My fault.
The next morning I realize the mistake but by then there's been a lot of piling in, a lot of responses. I owned up to the mistake, did not respond in a political way to anyone...and hit the road from a hotel in Scranton where I had been attending a family event.
I fully expected that by the time I got back home, the thread would have been deleted by the mods, but it was not. Instead more responses pouring in...views over 2,000.
Again, I didn't end up banned for the mistaken post but rather for joking around after the fact (as outlined in the OP) in a private-message exchange with the mod. I'm not sure what the mystery is to some people here.
At the rate things are going, Brownie, the odds are no better than 50-50 that I'll make it to 3:00 PM today...
I thought that was an excellent and thoughtful exchange -- the board at its best -- on both sides of the issue.
It’s the 4th greatest lie of all time.Boo hoo...

1. I love you.
2. The check is in the mail.
3. I promise I wont………
4. I honestly didn’t mean to post that here.
Lmao. You left out part where you have done this before then went to test board bragging about it. Hopefully your act is better hereThis is mindboggling.

Look, I have no reason to doubt your version of events, but the first thing you you should have done was edit the subject line to say “Mods please delete.” To not have done that was disrespectful to the other posters. It’s not enough to have fessed up to your mistake downthread. Not editing the subject line kept the thread going; that’s how it works.
This is what bugs me: we got a spate of new posters here when one of the mods on the old board got caught condoning some “Ped State” posts on the Rutgers board. You’re here not because of this, but because you have no other place to go. You could have simply said that you’re here now, let’s rumble, but that was too simple for you. You’re making this big hue and cry about how unfair and silly Ryan has been by banning you, but you have nothing to say about another mod winking and giggling at the “Ped State” stuff. That leaves me cold.
Welcome. Hope you enjoy your time here on the McAndrew Board.

By coming here and whining he also doesn’t grasp another important fact. 80% of us don’t care, and the other 20% are glad it’s him and not them.

I think the issue was this isn't the first time you made this "mistake" of posting a thread on the wrong board, it was definitely insulting/offensive, you mocked the responses you got from it on another board, as if it wasn't actually a mistake at all, and you didn't delete the thread, or delete the content within as soon as you realized it was a "mistake," as you would have actually done if it was, in fact, a mistake, and then you apparently decided to be rebelliously "cute" in your reply to the moderator. Keep the political crap off this board.
I thought you were black balled because your content always sucked.
P.S. Just Joking
P.S. Just Joking
He should be cancelled for sucking as a comedian. F'ing terrible - never understood his success. Plus, I've heard him make more than a few pedophilia jokes (which we've all learned since the Sandusky mess erupted - are just hillarious). For me, that's an auto-cancel right there. Another on that list is Anthony Jeselnik - equally loathsome.There is no such thing as 'cancelled'....
Banned from the Test Board, too, Jerry? My sympathies, but I have to LOL. Maybe you could propose a package deal: restore both you and (for balance) Dingerz.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.

And your last line is clever? Add yourself to your 2nd sentence.Boo hoo...

Doubt it. If anyone is worthy of being "canceled," it's this freak:
