Want to place my rational for the events that have transpired over the last week, before memory colours and clouds too much. Today I appear to have upset someone enough that they want to stop me from communicating with them and their friends. This is quite a shock to system, don't recall ever being told to piss off before. I might not of been spoken to but I'd never offend enough to require that request. Perhaps a description of the events and players might elucidate. 4 years ago nearly I stumbled across this site after searching for articles regarding the first Beautiful days. My first thought was cool, this could be an interesting and rewarding place, and so it has turned out to be. "What the hell, I don't believe it, You cant say that", oops oh dear, sive nines go wading in, "Oi you, are you one of Thatchers Children or what". I'd stumbled across a little drama being played between DrA and Ma Crap, I immediatly went to the defence of Ma and they had a few days fun playing with the fool that was myself. He didn't like my attitude, I didn't like his attitude, we've generally suffered the presence of each other since with the occaisional moment of comradary, suffered less the longer. Couple of things in this time have been declared, the first being what I call foul language i.e. don't use it at me, I get offended, and secondly I have and Live nad work with children please don't associate me with the negative aspects of these relationships, I'm paranoid about the whole trip, thanks. Over time I've been warned about arguing my viewpoint in contradiction to someone elses, I might get angry occaisionaly but I wont be abusive. I've been labelled as a trouble maker. I do notice he is very protective about his lady, if anyone says anything against he will be there and be there big. First breakdown in communication occured after I had met everyone, we all had faces. Sent A a jokey PM about nothing and got an abusive one back. This I forwarded with request for action to P. and never heard anything from either. Oh dear not worthy of a reponse. October last I observed someone contradict Earth W. I sent the gent a PM saying "Best leave it alone mate it won't be good for your health". I then receive a Pm from A stating "Why are sending X a PM, you must be up to no good". I post this PM on the forum to complain about this as a form of behaviour by the administrators. Naturaly I'm banned and the post is removed. I return to the better place and revive my existence, howdy folks.
I should of known my input wasn't really appreciated by the admin, but there was some fair people there with some interesting things to say so I found myself slowly joining in again. A week ago I responded to a post by EW, ooops as metioned previously not a particularly good idea, my words were then taken out of context and turned into a joke against me, nothing sinister apart from the fact it now culludes to unsuitable behaviour with my daughter. Now it gets tricky. Jokes or even abuse between friends is a healthy and natural way to behave. Jokes or abuse between people who are not friends is not healthy and can be antagonistic. I informed of my discomfort with this post and requested it's removal, this was met with a denial of request and a suggestion I take it to the "Suport Forum". As mentioned the man knows about my concerns about some behaviour references, even if he chooses to deny such knowledge, link that to denial of a simple request and you can see my concern. I should of just walked and left them to it, but I thought the manner displayed needed at least an attempt correction. If someone says you are offending them, especially someone you may of known for years, my natural response would be to apologise, modify my behaviour and ask if I could recompense them. I also think this is a form of behaviour that all organisations should employ to all customers. I declared my problem to the admin, but they didn't want to listen to my concern and only showed an interest in following the line of "its only a joke", used as an excuse by the offender. I understand the logic of their argument BUT that wasn't what I was complaining about, I was complaining about there lack of due diligence and care for their customer base. I tried to engage in conversation but twice my threads were closed for discussion. Is there anything more likely in this world to antagonise than to be told to shut up or else. I foolishly made 2 jokes one about a youth with a brown nose and one about A grooming. Banned until I can become more adult. 1 week passes, I'm allowed to return, see a sign which says A is going on holiday. I post a new thread. "What a wonderful idea......., See the simple things are always the best, Aren't Eureka moments wonderful". Result banned for eternity. Obviously such vile, foul and trolling behaviour needs the maximum punishment. No abuse, no threats, no swearing, no trolling, banned because why exactly.
