Never mind. 😃 **pezpunk** , we’re just doing some housecleaning. We’ve got a bunch of usernames the controllers of which have no better use for their time than to criticize the administration of a message board to which they rarely, if ever, contribute. We ban them only as they come out of the woodwork, because it’s too much of a pain in the ass to go and do it all at once. They come out more in ATMB, because they know that they’re less likely to be contridicted there because others generally obey the forum rules and don’t comment on administrative policy there. Kind of like cockroaches and the dark. ---

Fun, isn’t it? Let’s see if I can get myself banned! **Lynn** eats long, brown things that look suspiciously like Baby Ruth bars! **UncleBeer** is a gun-lovin’, Republican, Ohioan! I know nothing good or bad about **Manhattan** , the island or the person, except what I would see on “NYPD Blue” if I watched it! **Czarcasm** has had more nicks than **concrete**! The _Chicago Reader_ is a tabloid full of ads aimed at homosexuals AND heterosexuals and has an agenda to get its readers hip to the latest live music in the Chicago area AND publishes articles of a noticably liberal slant! AND it’s FREE, like it was run by communists or something! ---

But you do realize that… Since I have had no beef with the admins as of yet, that still leaves me with about 700 mod-bashing and I’ll still fall under the 33% rule. That’s about 50 or 75 posts that can be specifically devoted to each mod/admin. I’ll get started on these very soon. 🙂 ---

(giggle) \*\* _\_ Uh fellas, it seems to me we might be overreacting here. I mean **DoZ** had a formal warning, ignored it, and deserved to be banned. But what did **Bob’s Your Uncle** do? I will not comment on the validity of his comments, they just don’t seem in the least bit banworthy, even if the thread was in ATMB at the time. **Home Schooled** also didn’t seem to deserve it. He’s a moron, yes, but his comments were in the pit. Neither seemed to be given fair warning. I have searched for their previous threads and not found anything ban-worthy. Please tell me there is some sin that they commited that I am not aware of. Are they SOCKS? Were they banned previosly? I have never had a problem with the mods and do not expect any in the future, but if the comments in this thread is all it takes to get banned, I must conclude that favoritism, bias, and bloodlust play a signifigant role in the operation of this message board. \*\ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/and-you-were-banned-because/79597.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/and-you-were-banned-because/79597.md?page=5)
