i am outraged, bring back 001 please
ok so he got banned for flaming and now these people that he's flamed have forgiven him and moved on so where's the harm?
For once I have to agree with you, HERO2. All of this mess started with the LIsaSparxxx thread. All Raven was doing was merely expressing his own VALID opinion of someone coming on here and actually going out of her way to attack people who DARED to disagree with her, her movies, and the conent of said movies.
It's my opinion that the people who are allegedly in charge of running this Board let things get out of hand whenever they allowed LisaSparxxx to SPAM all of the threads in which she was mention PLUS literally call people pricks, assholes, and all the rest of filth that came out of her mouth.
And yes, I'm gonna come on out and say that I like Lord Raven / 001. It's true that he and I have had our differences, but ever since the agreement was made between the Moderators and the rest, Lord Raven / 001 has been one of the TOP members on this Board with all of his contributions. I mean, for fucking crying out loud, the man went out of his way to take the time to develop a GUIDE for the new people.
Y'all overreacted with this ban. I'm sorry... I normally respect most decisions made by the Moderators, but this time I have to say my piece. I've watched this Board grow exponentionally ever since I joined back in November 2004. I've made some good friends and even made some enemies. But you know what? When it all comes down to the nitty gritty - when all the bullshit is stripped away and the nakedness is exposed - this Board NEEDS people like LordRaven, Nightfly, Brino, Sutty, bigdan1110, HERO2, me, and all of the rest of you whom I didn't mention.
WE make the Board what it is.
I say bring back LordRaven / 001. The only crime he was guilty of was DEFENDING other people. Who cares if he's a smart-ass? Y'all should be APPLAUDING him for actually defending people rather than stripping him of his membership yet again. This whole LordRaven witchhunt has gotten way the fuck out of hand. Granted, I ain't excusing the fact that he signed up with multiple user names - he knows how I feel about that - but even still, it seems like there are a few people who go out of their way just to make sure that he never stays here for very long.
And that's really disappinting in my eyes.
I mean, jesus, here you have a PORNSTAR - someone who has FANS... who DEPENDS on said fans to make it in the business - and SHE gets to call people "prick", "asshole", and just in general belittle everyone who has the temerity to fucking disagree with her. NOW THAT IS WAY OUT OF CONTROL... and yet not one single comment from a Moderator was directed to her on a thread. Instead, it was left up to us to defend ourselves. had it been one of us to do that, we would have been banned outright for flaming.
Where is the justice and fairness in THAT??????????
Double-standards.
Shame on y'all.
I've said my piece. To whomever doesn't like my views and opinions, I say, "Oh, well." I'm free and over the age of 21... I can say, do, think, and feel whatever the hell I choose.
Bring back 001. If you're going to ban someone, ban LisaSparxxx for doing the very things for which WE - the members who MAKE this Board - would get banned for.
'Nuff said... I'm done preaching.
One final thought -
Look up there at those poll statistics. Roughly 88% of the people who responded to this thread feel the same way. It oughta say SOMETHING about the fact that Lord Raven actually redeemed himself and became a very valuable and RESPECTED member of this Board.
I'm out... :hatsoff:
