If you don't want to be the person who gets "easily" banned, don't be in the minds of the admins - we have better things to do than look for certains names to appear in discussions with high post counts! And, no matter if we get paid to do the job or not, it's the same amount of work!

mods seem to get their satisfaction on a different level, not from money.
that´s the problem Unfocused mentioned in this thread.
often they do it so they have power, "the last word".
even when it´s only power over a virtuell community.

and as we can see in real life... power corrupts and is abused.

Let it go. I remember him too, and he was very offensive and I'm not crying that he's gone. Sorry, but that's just the way he was and well, the admins got tired of it. I cringed everytime I opened a thread where he last posted, and it was usually for good reason.

but looking at your posts you are no saint either. ;)

anyway .. i said what i had to say.
i hope the admin gets in touch with me or canon-f1.

Awww come on. I never am a smarta##, ever.................. ::)

I thought it was only Americans that didn't do Geography, everybody knows where North America is, even if North Americans don't know where anything else is.
Of course we do Geography. You Europeans from the UK are the ones with geography problems. Take Chris Columbus, for example, who produced the Harry Potter movies and also sailed the ocean blue and thought he'd landed in India. See, we do history good too just like we do english good. ::)

Now, that squirrel is the best post on this thread :D

Totally agree, and for some strange reason they look smarter than the ones we have, probably speak "American" though.

This, from someone who's loo flushes backwards. Sheesh. ;)

See, it's called a "Drop Box" not a Loo, and it's what makes us Aussies so agile, seeing the Country spends all it's time upside down, when we go to the Drop Box and make a deposit, we need to be able to spring quickly out of the way, to ensure we don't get covered by, well, what ever was deposited.

speaking of banning, i remember getting in an argument with one of my science teachers about the backwards flushing "drop boxes" in the southern hemisphere. i was nearly banned from class. I also once was nearly banned by the old guys running a minolta forum. now that was really over nothing.
So some people have been banned here?... hmmm, i guess i'm not active enough to have noticed, and other than the occasional snarky reply i've never come across much hostility. I know that i don't know it all, and i don't expect anyone else to either.

Our grey squirrels are grey - that's a proper American red squirrel, Tamiasciurus hudsonicus. But you can call him a wee ginge if you like. :)

Where I am (Canada), we have Grey Squirrels, Black Squirrels (locally referred to as tree rats), and red Squirrels. The winters are so cold that the red Squirrels have learned to fly over the snow....

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! How did we get from censorship to Squirrels???
Blame the guy from Australia...as everyone knows, Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the squirrel in front of you.

You can always tell when a thread is done.
Usually its just after someone calls someone else Hitler or quotes The Princess Bride :)

Don Haines...that's really funny ;D
Winters are warm in Hawaii but we have no squirrels here :'(

I remember a quote from the comedian Groucho Marx..." I don’t care to belong to any club (Forum) that will have me as a member" :o
