I don't know... this whole temp ban thing with Jerry is very unsettling to me. The level of drama on LPF has risen dramatically over the past few months, up to a point where many threads just degenerate into pissing contests. Why don't we ll try to get along?
To answer the question, I'm not sure. I dearly love LPF and all of its strange little creatures, but being a non-confrontational person, it would take a hell of a lot to get me banned and at that point, I think the damage to my reputation and ego would be irreparable and i'd just move on to something else.

how dose that sticks and stones thing go ?
Peace All...
Sticks and stones can break my bones,
but with the correct application of words I can convince somebody else to beat you for me :angel:
Peace,

I don't like how it shows "banned" rather than "on probation" or some other status that indicates that it is temporary. The ban, temporary or permanent, should also have public supporting documentation not least of all so the person who is banned (should it be temporary), knows what the bannable offense was. Some probation offenses should also not contribute to "strikes" but rather be used as a means to cool down the "drama" before it escalates.
Finally, I really dislike the idea that people put up polls for "should we ban so-and-so" and that those polls carry any weight at all. It should not be a bannable offense to simply be disliked by people, for opinions or whatever. Some people are indeed trolls, but others just have that ability to rub soft-skinned people the wrong way. This isn't a kindergarten; we should expect people to be able to stand some flak.
if i get banned by dave, i won't cuz my heart will be broken.... PERMANENTLY
I notice that Jerry's rep is showing zero at the moment. Is that an automatic symptom of a temp ban for the duration of it, or is it permanent removal?
[Edit: How odes a ban work. Is the member just gaged from posting or totally not allowed to even see the site? Not planning on find out myself but just curious.]
