Well, it's been a few days now since my most recent banning for calling Linda a "girl" after she called Geff a "hippie."
While I have done a lot of soul-searching and concluded that my participation in such blatant and vicious name-calling was a serious misstep on my part, I have to admit that the practical repercussions of my (so-called) "banning" have been, well, not at all unpleasant. I'm still reading posts, posting comments myself, and here I am starting a new thread. Except for feeling the sting of admonishment, this isn't so bad.
Just curious: Geff, are you really a hippie? Of course, you don't have to answer that if you don't want to. I totally respect your privacy, man.

I could have been considered a hippie for a couple years in the late 70's, but then I morphed into a full blown glam rocker. Now, I'm just an old man. I'm still unsure if i was actually banned for a few hours, or if there was an issue between my browser(s) & Imwan. 5 minutes after Linda's "banned" post on that thread I could not see anything on Imwan/Ice except the light Blue background for several hours.

A good time to get banned is 1am Pacific / 4am Eastern... that's when this forum seems to most often take a dump. It's happened often enough that I assume it has something to do with the host's maintenance schedule.

Glad I wasn't banned! But it was a weird issue. Impacted all 3 browsers (Opera, Firefox & IE) so I assumed it was related to my ip address since the 3 browsers do not share cookies..

I'm curious, what do you have to do to get banned? I've had some dust-ups myself in here and I've never been banned (to my knowledge--and Linda said I would know if I had been.) It seems to be more of a private joke in here about being banned, in essence because those claiming they have been never have. I don't even know if Greg is being serious. I can't believe he is, I can't see him being banned for calling somebody a girl. I guess the joke must be you can't get banned in here.

No ... basically, you'd have to be a distinctly negative presence in the community as judged by myself and/or our other admins and moderators. I've removed people who had consistently bad attitudes, and I felt that they brought nothing of value to the table to offset that. I've removed people who became so toxic that I felt it overrode the value that they did bring. It's a case-by-case basis. We don't have a long list of hard and fast rules. Banning is a joke upthread because these guys are in no danger of getting banned.

Now I can say whatever I want and go naked and stuff.

When I first joined here, I got a banning. I was thinking to myself, "For what?" Then someone explained to me the in-joke about bannings. Now, if Linda doesn't ban me every once in a while, it doesn't feel right.
