What happened to Uhura?

Don't know, don't care. For all I know, you were equal parts victim and perpetrator, or all victim, or whatever. What I do know is that this discussion serves no useful purpose. Can we get back to the purpose of this website, i.e. getting us slugs to and from work in as efficient a manner as possible? I will never understand why anonymous name-calling and/or criticism rankles people. Why does the opinion of someone you don't know and will likely never meet bother anybody?

[br]So your saying that you have never been bothered by someone on this sites comments, or opinions, isn't that why its called a forum? A public meeting place for open discussion.
A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a web site.

...Sure sounds like that's what is being said.

The thing is, we should be able to disagree and even poke fun without someone getting their thongs twisted. Unfortunately, I was targeted by a cybermob who doesn't understand the concepts you just brought up.

People sent emails to me personally, they spoofed the site administrator, they spoofed (& continue to spoof me) and they repeatedly complained to the site administrator about me. I personally asked site admin how I violated the user agreement & he couldn't say. He just said that since "so many people" were complaining about me, I may be banned. Is that alone a good reason?

That is what bugs me: I did not violate the user agreement; however, admin spoofing and harrassing other site users with personal emails are obviously violations. What happened to the folks who participated in that behavior?

Uhura, you act like you are entitled to justice, fair treatment, or even an explaination. You're not. This is a private system. We are all guests. The host asked you to leave.

What part of that don't you understand?

I think you are absolutely right-no one is entitled to justice or fair treatment. Thanks for your insightful comment.

[br]I agree with both sides, I myself remember a few heated words with Uhura, but I also remember sticking up for Uhura. AND- I myself requested an "Off Topic" thread a few weeks ago, for the variety of subjects everyone seems to complain that is "off topic". Unfortunately, no one said a word, and the subject dropped. Its a shame too, it was ignored by the same people who complain about going off topic, who da thunk it!?

Getmehome, most well-adjusted adults are able to disagree without becoming disagreeable-or without trying to silence people who do not agree with them...
