To: epicure who wrote (94332 ) 1/21/2005 8:03:30 PM From: one_less Respond to of 108807 Well first, your penchant for misrepresentation is somewhat nasty but I am used to it. I did not start a thread to whine. I ignored your earlier snide comments about Banny Nation and Grainne's piggy back comments but I'll set the record straight now. I started Banny Nation as a place where people could post on topics that they may find interesting without fear of being banned for their position, with recognition that it might be inviting to people who were banned elsewhere. Here is the thread header. Other threads have deteriorated into bashing the other side and name calling, and playing power and control games with bannings, which leaves very little room for anything other than propagandizing. Yawn ... Feel free to contribute documentation, your honest opinion, and any evidence you have to support your Point of View. Oh Well, bash as you see fit. But remember the old saying, 'As ye flame, so shall ye be flamed'. BTW... I am going to re-post some controversial posts here, since bannings may otherwise prohibit comment, in some cases. I will do it without the original poster's permission, because I like to do that. Nominations for best of 2004? I invited one and all to participate. Redfish posted a few times. Several posters who had been banned from here posted and bitched about being banned ... so what? Now would you be so kind as to point out the basis of your repeated complaints and snide remarks about that thread. Your allegation is simply wrong, except this part..."...but obviously not in your own mind." I suppose it goes back to that personal honesty thing, which was apparently left out of your gifts."You are right about one thing. I am too aloof to want to deal with you much. lol
