Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Because you had no reason not to mention it. Rumor has it that you considered your banning to be some sort of cub scout badge....
I know you consider it a game, Wes. I'm just wondering how long it will take for everyone else to see that fact.

Interesting. So NOW you're buying into RUMORS? I've got a few juicy ones I've heard about you too rich. Never put much stock in them though.
Kind of a ridiculous thing for an otherwise intelligent man to say, don't you think?
Weblos at least.

"Juicy" rumors about ME? Sorry, but I'm way too busy to lead a life that creates "juicy" rumors....... Nearly everyone would find it positively boring.
For a guy who seems to abhor rumors, you sure seem to base a lot of your posting on them, Wes..... For instance, your postings about Ed Clark recently. But I suppose that is a different kettle of fish, eh? I'm sure you have never tried to START rumors, now have you?

BINGO!
(minus the "angelic looks" and "stunning intellect", of course)

Actually Rich, the stuff with Ed had no rumor attached at all. He opened some doors and I wanted to know why they were shut so quickly so I asked.
I have freely admitted to speculating many times. Many many times. Are you trying to start rumors about me starting rumors?
My my my.
Oh, and by the say, rumor has it that I am both handsome and intelligent.
Go figure.

Oh c'mon Wes... you know damn well that at various times in various places in different contexts that you'd been prideful of being banned from Fauna.
I'm going to toss something out here about myself... There have been any number of occassions when I have been critical of decisions Rich has made or directions Fauna has taken and sometimes, I am sure, my language made it a little more direct. At the time, in the context of the threads those comments were written in I meant things that I had said. Sure, I can argue that if the comments are taken out of the setting they were made in, with the attitudes and responses and fresh stimulus subtracted that they aren't an accurate reflection of views I hold NOW- but if confronted about any of it, I couldn't deny or dodge or avoid admitting the existance of 'em.
Maybe you were playing up to the audience you had at the time. maybe they were tongue in cheek and nobody "got it" but you. Maybe the pride was a kind of argument with a couple people who were throwing it in your teeth as a sleight. Maybe some of the context it's been seen in it was a genuine and lasting pride because you felt your actions and their results were worth the response they generated...
You could try explaining that. Some people might even believe the explaination. Don't try to deny that it had happened though or duck behind shifty language that lets you imply a denial while leaving you an out if directly confronted. It really should be beneath you and your professed adherence to absolutes where truth is concerned.

Didja miss the part about Weblos? It's the next step up from Cubscouts.
While I never considered any of my suspensions or bannings, many of which I still think were not warranted, worthy of a merit badge, I have certainly had a good time with the activities that surrounded some of them. Depending on who and why, I have been proud of one or two, there is no denying that. Why should I? I took a stand and stuck to it. I know that YOU, better than many, understand this.
I've been very unkind to rich and at least 3 of his mods and meant everything I said, at the time I said it. I've changed my mind before and no doubt will in the future. If and when I do I will certainly own up to it and not try to hide it behind cleverly worded turnings, though I do thank you sincerely for the compliment.
Being born a man I am incapable of perfection, as any woman can tell you. I don't seek perfection, just an honest good time. Tell me you have not only laughed, but agreed with me while laughing Seamus.
Sometimes Seamus, splitting a hair/word brings me a great deal of amusement and, honestly, sometimes I'm just out to amuse myself and not the world at large. Sometimes my goal is the exact opposite, just to keep it truthful. I see no wrong with either course.
Besides, I thought we, well many of us who were here back in the long ago, had decided that, "we don't need no stinking batches!" Did we not?

Guess I did. Or misunderstood it completely; after being reminded of that, I knew it had some kind of association with the boy-cub-eagle-whatever scouts but failed to catch that first go through.

That about covers what I saw as being a little inconsistant with my observations elsewhere. Thanks for clarifying it directly.

From time to time. And sometimes laughed while disagreeing. And sometimes been bloody furious while agreeing or disagreeing, although I definitely think you and I are on the same page about when and where some of those "unkind" things were said. I also think that if the sum total is looked at, then there's nothing there to be ashamed of but similarly reccognize that if a sentence or paragraph or post is pulled out to be stared under the sterile flourescent lights and microscope by it's lonesome, there may be regrettable things there.
