Tales of being banned

I'm currently serving a 1 week ban from my favorite message board, www.whitesoxinteractive.com (known to all as WSI). Of course almost every poster there is a major Sox fan. It's a major community of White Sox fans so I had to be a member. Not everyone is a Sox fan. We have numerous Cub fan media personnel who are members or browse the site.

One of them is Les (Grobber) Grobstein. He is an on air personality on 670 WSCR The Score, Chicago's biggest sports radio station. He also has an online sports column that draws hundreds of thousands of readers. Grobber is a Cub fan, but he usually is fair with the Sox. Because of that, he is generally tolerated on WSI.

Well on Sunday, he printed a BS article that mirrored the crap written by Jay Moronotti (his real name is Mariotti and you probably know since this douche is on Around the Horn.) Mariotti and Grobber are both taking the ignorant position that AJ Pierzynski was somehow at fault for the brawl that occured when Michael Barrett blocked the plate without the ball and then punched AJ in frustatration after the play.

I was pissed by the comments, as were most Sox fans. Even Dusty Baker said AJ was not at fault and it was Barrett's fault. I called Grobber a "douchebag." The mods were pissed since a few of them are friends of Grobber so I got banned for a week for speaking the truth. I mean some of Grobber's fellow employees at WSCR used worst words when talking to Flub fan sheep who blamed AJ for the incident.

I was banned from this forum before I made my first post.

Apparantly there was a bug in the system.

Still it was kind of odd to be banned before ever posting.

I was banned from the Decency Brigade of America a few months back for engaging in "perversions" (i.e. reading a post on an internet forum made by a homosexual). I haven't been allowed back since, which is a pity, since it's taking over the world. But since it has only six members, all of whom are amoebas -- everyone else sinned too much -- I doubt much will happen with it.

As a Twins fan, who by the way will be able to see his favorite team in a new stadium in a few years, knows that AJ is without fault except when he is playing against the Twins. Seriously, AJ is one scrappy player who always plays hard. The WhiteSox got one heck of a player when they got this guy.

I was banned from a fundamentalist Christian message board called 'bibliocity' (or something like that) for disproving their four-step perfect proof for the existence of God and asking for the $25,000 reward they were offering. Their admin perma-banned everyone (about fourty people before me, probably more afterwards) who refuted their appalling logic and told us it was 'for our own good'.

I don't think I've ever been banned, or even warned, on any forum I've been a member of...

Heh. I guess lying about giving people prizes isn't a crime in fundamentalist christianity?

This one time, I got banned from NationStates! It's ture! I did! Ask the mods!

Seriously, I was...I think it was on the Old Board...not sure if I was Nodea Rudav or Anagonia back then, but I got banned for a day or so because I spammed too much or ranted. Since then, I've become a better person! Lol.

Actually, that was mod revenge for that time when you had the brazenness to lick Firefury's ankle... I never had the heart to tell you until now.

You don't remember that? Good... the scars they left will haunt me for the rest of my days... :(

Naddy's a good girl. :p

Hmmm...I got banned from a single forum about 5 times. I'm currently not banned...I think. *checks*

Nope, not banned right now. ^_^

I'd wear that as a badge of honor. I'm banned from RedState because I'm a liberal.

I'm banned from Stormfront for trying to use reason with those guys and show them how stupid the whole, heil Hitler, hate Jews, everyones out to get Whitey thing is. I actually got a few of them to side with me against the majority of those idiots. Heh, the way I see it, thats a victory. If I got a few people to not being Nazis and understand reason, and they just get to ban me for it, then hey, I'm the victor!

See above for my account at Stormfront.

I didn't go about it like that. I just attacked their endless heaping of sources "proving" the Holocaust was a myth, and got a bit over the top in a David Irving thread. To be fair to them, I don't actually think I was simply banned because I was an "anti", as they call us - I did get quite vulgar (and graphic!).

All the mods on the internet are sexually attracted to me, thus I shall never ever be banned.
