Well motokid you asked the question and here is what i think, i think you are just boosting your own ego which you really get off on,and your all so playing mind games,you enjoy letting people know you were thrown off 2 forums in 1 wk well mate thats nothing i would own up to! were is your pride?
The point of this thread was not to boost my ego. I had made more than a handful of forum members quite angry. I figured it'd be better to give them a place to tell me to take a hike then have them just keep it in, or spread it all over multiple threads in clever little ways that I had going at the time. As you might be able to tell from a few posts here I have friends, and I have some who would rather I drop off the edge of the world.
I've since been invited back to one of the forums I was kicked off of, but I prefer to lurk there and not change the atmosphere that a wonderful forum friend of mine enjoys so much. My point in bringing it up here at TBF was that things here are not as bad as some have tried to make it appear. My point was that TBF has never even warned me about my threads, comments and behavior, and yet other forums that claim more freedom and less structure banned me. Plus, I was frustrated, and wanted to vent.
I wanted a thread where somebody could be honest about their thoughts on my posts without fear of moderation edits. Sort of like a thread in the Writers Showcase where critique and criticism are welcome.
If you still think of me that way Ruby that's fine.
But this thread was not for my ego.
Knowing who likes my posts and comments, and who does not, helps me understand which posts I should comment on and which posts I should ignore. Who I can fool around with and who I can't. Who I should take serious and who I should laugh at. Who I may need to try harder with, and who I can relax with.
So thank you all who've posted in this thread...whichever way your feelings pointed, I appreciate honesty and truth.
