This whole thing is crazy [View all] Andy823 Jun 2015 OP

You know what would have been cool? Joe the Revelator Jun 2015 #1

But then you can't feel like you're spearheading the righteous indignation charge Scootaloo Jun 2015 #2

Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrge! Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #6

It's simply a fact Andy823 Jun 2015 #14

Okay. Doesn't explain the need for you to make a fresh OP on it Scootaloo Jun 2015 #22

I think so. People sometimes forget and need to be reminded. Javaman Jun 2015 #34

And sometimes that reminder may come in the form of a ban. MoonRiver Jun 2015 #41

yeah, sadly. Javaman Jun 2015 #62

There are a lot of new threads Andy823 Jun 2015 #55

You know that's not the DU way TexasProgresive Jun 2015 #5

The other ten threads Andy823 Jun 2015 #12

Until one of your buddies or someone you agree with get banned. -none Jun 2015 #30

I won't touch a thread with over 200 posts. MohRokTah Jun 2015 #39

Trash the thread is a handy little function. n/t Avalux Jun 2015 #3

Furthermore, the way to address this with admin is ATA forum or email/pm them uppityperson Jun 2015 #4

Exactly Andy823 Jun 2015 #19

Counting yours? (Nt) jeff47 Jun 2015 #23

I am not complaining Andy823 Jun 2015 #24

Re-read the policy you quoted. Specifically, the very first phrase. jeff47 Jun 2015 #27

OK Andy823 Jun 2015 #57

You are complaining about DUers. nt City Lights Jun 2015 #40

You are indeed complaining. closeupready Jun 2015 #50

A very good point. I guess like a restaurant that refuses to serve a potential customer because still_one Jun 2015 #7

Actually that's a law all restaurants open to the public are supposed to follow. Cleita Jun 2015 #9

Can someone please explain something to me? (I asked this question elsewhere too) StevieM Jun 2015 #8

I would think so Andy823 Jun 2015 #10

What group is that, Andy? Scootaloo Jun 2015 #13

Read the posts Andy823 Jun 2015 #17

Spell it out for me. Scootaloo Jun 2015 #20

I don't have to Andy823 Jun 2015 #28

The knitting group? Scootaloo Jun 2015 #29

Pretty sure it is the cooking and baking group. Hiraeth Jun 2015 #44

And most people knew exactly what Skip was spelling out, too. Sheldon Cooper Jun 2015 #38

No, it's really not. NuclearDem Jun 2015 #25

Don't be shy, Andy. Tell us to which group you're referring. nt City Lights Jun 2015 #36

Pretty sad and pathetic. MoonRiver Jun 2015 #59

He can write to the admins and seek an appeal, yeah Scootaloo Jun 2015 #11

He needs to contact admin directly. Other DUers can do so also through ATA forum or pm/email uppityperson Jun 2015 #15

I am very curious as to why all these threads are still here. Tipperary Jun 2015 #33

Yes, they are, but the so-called standards here are rarely enforced evenly. nt City Lights Jun 2015 #37

Thread Winning post. Hiraeth Jun 2015 #45

Well, it seems the powers that be are allowing both sides to have at it. Tipperary Jun 2015 #48

The Hosts volunteer to decide whether or not an OP, and only the OP, meets a forums SOP uppityperson Jun 2015 #51

That is certainly helpful, but it reinforces my belief that many of the threads Tipperary Jun 2015 #52

If you haven't, volunteer as host, put yourself on the list so you can see and participate. uppityperson Jun 2015 #53

Thank you again! Tipperary Jun 2015 #63

No one thinks the owners don't have the right. nt Bonobo Jun 2015 #16

Hey, at least all these threads cwydro Jun 2015 #18

Let the Duggars have the rest of the internet; we know what is really important! Hiraeth Jun 2015 #46

Lmao! cwydro Jun 2015 #49
