Hell Yeah.....

I'm baaaaack......:crackup::crackup:

The only thing I would add is as I understand it.....
"under the 6th Amendment to the US Constitution you are granted the
right to confront the witnesses/accusers against you"

I think if someone gets Banned and asks for it... the Accusers that
got you banned should be made available...

I would have had no problem for BobH to know that I told c0ld that
he needs a time out...

I have to say - I agree that someone should be given the reasons (in this case, the reasons cited in the "complaints" against you).

However, I think the decision to come forward and be confronted should remain with the person who made the accusation. In my mind, always allowing for such confrontation would end in much the same way as the ban polls.

It would certainly not happen every time, but I think that would just cause more squabbles. If photonaholic (sorry, you're the post above me :p) proposed that I be banned and c0ldshadow notified me, I would probably PM him wondering why. He would probably tell me his reasoning, and I would write what response I could. But then who's to say that wouldn't escalate and become a long and drawn-out argument that causes much headache for all parties involved? :undecided:

In your scenario...

You lost me in that one...:yabbem:

That's because I wrote a draft in notepad with MM, then decided to remove any interested parties from the scenario. Forgot to change both instances. :rolleyes:

I fixed it. :p

and this leads me to ask.... should this topic be the next poll... should we make a poll to show avery

if a temp ban is proposed, should a person have the right to face thier accuser. before they are temp banned.

It's certainly worth polling.

Either way.. welcome back Jerry.


michael

Hey michael...
thanks for the welcome back...;)

The other thing that might be appreciate by a Banned member
is perhaps a WARNING that a Ban is imminent instead of no
warning at all as in my case...:eek:

[EDIT]
As to the Poll.... I would really like to know which members demanded
that I be banned... because if they are any of the many Members that I
respect on this forum I would certainly have listened to them...
(they know who they are)...

But I suppose if those respected members were involved I would think
they would have at least shown me courtesy of at least PMing me to let
me know if I was out of line... I received no such PMs...

Very confusing since I was told that there were respected members
involved... perhaps not the respected members that are on my list... :thinking:

Welcome back Jerry. I'm really surprised you were banned, and I still feel your ban was straight up BS.
