Oh shucks! I have been banned!!

Over at the other place, mind you I am sure there are some here who would say I deserved for being critical of the invasion of Gaza.

Did they tell you why you were banned? When I was banned I was given no reason, I just couldn't log in anywhere. T28B unbanned me after a year or so because he couldn't see why I'd been chucked out.

They say I have been sent a PM explaining the ban, catch is I cannot read PMs while banned!

I think I am on the Bad Boys List because I did some work in North Korea...or maybe one of a dozen other taboo topics!

You don't suppose it may have anything to do with your posts on the "Israel, Palestinian war looming?' thread? :-\

Specifically the ones remaining on Page 101?

I am sure this instance would have been the Israel, Palestine thread!

Of course I cannot see Page 101! Unless I went into stealth mode, which I don't know how to do!

It is important for all to remember that being 'anti-Israel' is not 'anti-semitic'. A mistake many make.

In the distant past I was banned from TOP by Rob several times for 'prolific p*sting'.

Meh, I can’t remember how many times and for how long I’ve been banned there and my views are quite opposite from Mr. Hill’s.
Rob-the-Mod (is he still alive and there?) used to ban me for just posting, said I was hogging bandwidth. I guess he ran on a 1200 baud modem.

That icon has always summed up the reason why we are here.

It seems it was a short ban as a museum newsletter post was there this evening......

I think from memory a thread ban is possible with that software. Ours only allows 'forum' bans eg 'Links/'Sports' etc., as listed in the 'Board Index', so I am guessing JH was just 'thread banned', but who knows.....and that doesn't explain why he couldn't read PMs?
