The internet is not suppose to be private property unless you are into fascism. We make this entire thing up. The people who liked the forum are also banned too. It has nothing to do with what you said. Some left because they didn't like other people and so on. But most are too quick to be banned. The reason why you never got any penalty even though you are rude is because of being an owners pet.

Dean Plejaren,
Most "bans" are short term to encourage people to modify offensive behavior before they return again in a few days. We'd rather call it a more gentle term, but the vBulletin software is quite limited and we have to work with how the software is written. I know Bill would love to have someone design a special application for Avalon whose language would be more in alignment with his vision.
I will disagree with you - this is the internet "house" built by Bill and Kerry and we do have "rules of engagement" to treat each other with respect. Most people who have left the forum have done so because a very few people were allowed to carry on in off tangent directions. With more mods on duty now, we hope people will get true answers to their questions in a more timely matter before the conspiracy mind has concocted dozens of of untrue explanations. If you have any questions, just ask.
