An e-mail from LG, Posted WITH his knowledge::
Here is the complete story, but you already know most of it: Lucretius and MytMan and several other regulars on the Clown Free Zone thread have been hurling insults and ridicule at the MDD Thread and me (and other SI members) for almost two years. I decided to call this to SI Bob's attention on his "Ask SI Bob" Thread or what ever it is called around 18 months ago or so. It did no good, but the thugs decided to focus on me.
The primary thugs Luc and MythMan have been hurling vile vulgar profanity laden insults for some time. They have called me a queer. They have accused me of having sex with bobby beara (among others). They have accused me of having sex with animals. I started off asking SI Admin Bob to do something, but that did little good. Eventually I resorted to calling attention to the vile vulgar profanity laden post by starting threads that addresses them. I never broke any SI Terms of Use rules, I just turned a spotlight on the septic tank and its vile output.
However for shining the light on numerous occasions, I have been suspended several times., I have had threads removed and posts removed all in an effort to take the spot light off the CFZ Thread behavior of a select group of contributors. After my last suspension, SI Bob told me that the only way I could continue to post on SI would be to agree to never post to or about Lucretius, MythMan or Iceshark or the CFZ Thread again. I continued to post with this understanding on SI as the thugs toned it down for a while, but never stopped. However, after SI Bob was fired, the ridicule and vile vulgar profanity laden insults began to pick up again.
Having little tolerance for those thugs it did not take long for me to have enough. So, I did what I have always done, I shined a light on the behavior. I posted links to the vile vulgar profanity laden posts and I created a beta search that revealed the extent that MythMan postsabout having sex with animals. In addition, I once again added a collection of post I had made and the beta search for SheepMan to the thread header of the Sound Off thread.
Having made no violations of the SI Terms of Use, SI Jeff suspended me for the only thing he could, for posting to and about Luc and MythMan. Later (I am sure MythMan cried to him) SI Jeff went in behind the scenes and changed the template I had createdfor the beta search link on the Sound Off thread header so it no longer contained the word sheep.
MythMan made a post on the Sound Off thread which called my attention to the fact that SI Admin Jeff had changed the link. Even though suspended from posting I still had access to the thread headers. I went back in and created a new template and updated the header. MythMan once again ran crying to SI Jeff. SI Jeff removed my password so I can no longer access SI and once again went in behind the scenes to change the template so know one can see all the sheep posts MythMan has made.
SI Jeff said he would reinstate my password if I would agree to no longer change my thread headers. I told him to for get it. I would not longer agree to the biased restriction required of me by SI Administration.
Jim, frankly I no longer want to contribute to a message board where SI Admin will allow thugs like MythMan and Lucretius to continue to post such vile vulgar profanity laden insults about other members, especially when we are not even allowed to respond. I am not interested in coming back to SI under those conditions ever. So please, do not start a “bring back” LG campaign and please discourage others from doing the same.
SI Administration only has the power over us that we give them. If we choose to no longer stay in the cage, they can no longer poke their sticks at us. SI Administration becomes NOTHING. Let SI Admin continue to poke their sticks at the worthwhile members until they only have left those that are comfortable with vile vulgar profanity laden posts. Those that find joy in calling each other queer, or accusing each other of having sex with animals or accusing each other of having sex with members of their same gender. Then SI will truly stand for Septic Tank Investor.
Regards,
LG
