• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

O.K if I get banned(can't keep mouth shut) can I keep my Ad Banner for the full year contract? It's not like I'm a Bad Guy just a Asshole! My animals are top Notch! Just saying!:shootfoot
 
As long as your ad text being displayed is tasteful then it will remain even if you were to get banned.

Planning ahead for something you have in mind?

Can't you just stop being an "asshole" while you are here? That would be the optimum solution, you know.
 
Keith, have you ventured through hell? It's not a free for all, but it might be a little more your speed. Scroll down from the main page to see how to enter there. Once you join, you'll even be gifted with a little red devil under your name.


And I'll echo Rich, why not just stop the behavior that will get you surely banned? Lots of us here have to find deliciously creative ways to express our true feelings without profanity and arsehole behavior.

So be nice and stay a while.
 
Seriously, I really don't like to ban people. But the problem is that I like even less to have them disrupting how I wish for this site to run, whether intentional or unintentionally. So there are going to be occasions where I just don't want particular people to share any part of my life. Since I obviously don't (and WON'T) come to them looking for headaches, and they obviously come here trying to give me some, isn't the solution for me really, REALLY obvious?

That's become one of the more fun aspects of posting. The shock value of having a temper tantrum and throwing a profanity-laden fit tends to wear off fairly quickly. It's so common that many people have become a bit desensitized to it. If you really wanna get under someone's skin, calmly and eloquently put them in their place. Elocution has seemingly become just rare enough that some people just don't know how to react to it.
