From how my mammy and pappy brought me up in the farm, bans, from what i knows, happen after a stiff warnin' and if i ain't right in the head to foller the warnin', then heaven have mercy, i rightly deserve my punishment. I don't know of any bans that be executed so quick as this. It's mighty confusin', but heck, I ain't a smart as you city folk.

Oh, that! That was just his convenient way of ducking himself out of a thread which really did show his true colors. What a dork.

ya know this here reminds me of the time Mr. gorf, who's as old as me grandpa, bless his heart, he done turned 98 last summer, said when he and miss ruffda-peach and boisterous in kalakaua got into some heated argument bout some'n or other, don't rightly remember 'sactly. I think it had some'n to do with lipstick color, BIK said rouge and ruffda-peach said phantom red, but as i said, i don't quite remember 'sactly. well, that gang there got into a fight of big proportions and mr. gorf said roger butted in, ya know, intervened and stuff, and axed if y'all okay? gorf done toll him 'twas right and mr. roger can 'scuse hisself from the broohahaha. I jess wunderin' why the good O-din never done such a thing, cuz thinkin' bout it here, i thought it be a good idea. But i ain't a smart as you folks, so i reckon y'all did it right.

Did anybody else think that was mighty durn suspicious? here i was jabberin' bout bans and other sheep and all of a sudden, the O-din man locks this thread! I don't rightly know why. i'm beginnin' to unnerstand things, and watch out, i'll be smarter 'n all y'all city smarts.

well, i jess been thinkin, 'sactly how many other handles does mr. potato farm has. don't mind me, i jess thinkin' out loud as y'all city folks like to say. my mammy and pappy gave me only one name and i use that name with my neighbors and friends. it's my god-given name. but i reckon city life is more complikated so you gots to hide yer name and use another. i don't rightly know fo sho.
is the ban jess for the name "isdahoboy" or is it fer the person behind the name? well, y'all must think i is real stoopid for askin a silly keschen. sorry to bother y'all.

24-hours for you, as well, Perot.
For ignoring the nature of banning someone and continuing to discuss them.

Jamal Lewis serving a reduced sentence...IN THE OFF SEASON.
Rafael Furcal getting a DUI...WITH NO SUSPENSION.
And now the newest useless punishment:
You posters being banned...FOR ONE DAY.

A ban without warning lacks Due Process. Without due process, you've got "model" leaders like Mao and Stalin censoring, intimidating, beating, imprisoning, and often executing their perceived enemies.
Without Due Process, how will people, and that includes O-din, his deputies, and the accused offender, know whether the punishment is just?
A warning via IM (not the post because the accused offender may not read that thread or that particular post by O-din) should be sufficient. First, it gives notice that something naughty naughty has been committed. Second, it gives the accused offender an opportunity to defend himself. Of course, there are some other issues which I won't identify because, well, I can't say because I'll be punished by O-din. I'll just say this: conflict of interest. That's all I'll say.

The above is a good example.
O-din posted "Would you like to be next, perot?" referring to a ban. This was posted at 5:24 PM. (my clock)
Then, gooseberry posted something after this at 5:25 PM. That's one minute later. As gooseberry said, he/she didn't see O-din's warning until after gooseberry posted. Presumably, while gooseberry was entering text for that post, O-din had already posted his message "Would you like to be next, perot?" A crossing of the posts.
Then, O-din gives a totally different reason for the ban: for discussing the topic -- a totally different reason than the warning O-din gave earlier.
Ridiculous.

I think you'll be sorry if you banned Wolfgang.
He was the one who strongly recommended you to take over VolleyTalk, you dork. I resisted but he persuaded me that you and only you can do the best job for this forum.

Odin knows what mongoose means.
I regret the day I gave you the forum. I should have listened to my gut instead of Wolfgang.
