I have no idea what this means. I have a feeling you don’t know what a lot of things mean bud Have you seen what it’s like out there, Taylor? Do you ever actually leave the ProBoards? Everybody just yells and screams at each other. Nobody’s civil anymore! Nobody thinks what it’s like to be the other guy. You think men like tastylicks ever think what it’s like to be someone like me? To be somebody but themselves? They don’t. They think that we’ll just sit down and take it like good little boys! That we won’t werewolf and go wild! You just wanted to make fun of me. You’re just like the rest of them! |

If you want respect here, don't make dumb "client" and "civil war" threats, just an example. Grow up, or go find the bona swing set, just don't creep out the kids there |

I want justice. |

You are not anywhere else but here when you are posting, so it does not matter what others are doing in other places. Civility does not require empathy. You are a person on the other end of another keyboard. People may not know your issues, but you don’t know theirs. Everyone has issues, and you can drown in them or work through them, your choice. But civility does not require anyone to understand you. |

I Don't Know Who This Lester Person Is, But It Would Seem Anything Short Of A Total Reinstatement Would Be Ignoring Democracy. Go Bonni'es!!! |

I think fjs64 makes important points. These have not been disclosed as the reason for the banning, so I wouldn't change my vote, but they are worth discussing for the betterment of the board. 64 (along with Res, in a way) has also brought up historical context. The guy behind the Lester account has been here under many names over the years. He was one of the original Bevelators, as well. The Bevel was formed in response to bannings here because a portion of this community did not care for their discussions. I don't recall them being "out of bounds," but they were off topic more than not. So, they were banned, and they created their own board. It was a truly unruly place. If it still exists in an archive somewhere, I told them back then that they had too much objectionable content, and it reflected poorly on all involved. That didn't help, but over the course of time, participation on that board fell off in spite of calls for more members. I continued to check in because, like Lester here, the posters often contributed interesting information about the Bonnies or the school, and the rougher stuff rolled off just like if I was with a bunch of guys sitting around the keg busting each others balls. Many others, however, dropped, off, due, in my opinion, to the abuse and objectionable reactions they received as not being part of that "friends around the keg" culture that founded the board. So, here we are again. Do we really have to do this again? Can we have posters that contribute good stuff even if we don't like everything they post? Can those contributors reign in their temptations toward anti-social hyperbole? I'd say let's give it another try. By the way, I believe the reason a Google search for bona alumni would turn up the Bevel was because they bought the rights to the domain name "********" Similar cases happen all the time. I do believe, at founding, they had dreams of it becoming more that what ultimately happened. The original iteration of The Bevel still exists and is being maintained by a Bevelator...... namely Bonafide. Bonafide has an admitted serious alcohol and drug problem so what he posts is no doubt while under the influence. Still, if some members have had it with the Bannedwagon here's the link to The Bevel: bonaalumni.proboards.com/board/2/general-board |

No wonder the Banned Wagon is failing! Joining the Bona Bevel seems to be the only option in these trying times. |
