I decided to check out this forum after being banned. Little did I know that I would be the topic of discussion. I think this whole situation is insane. It was clearly a joke and I was banned not for the comment, but because of the reaction to it.
Anyone who was offended really needs to lighten up. I think it's a pretty damn well known fact that chocolate can kill a dog. I know the poster is a kid and I am also quite sure that he made the post just for ***** and the events discussed did not really occur. Even if they did, posting about it on a toy forum is completly inappropriate.
As for his banning, DD has been warned before about saying this and other negative stuff. It was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I normally wouldn't want another member to be banned, but DD was always nasty,
What the hell are you talking about? I was never warned about doing anything. I'm a unique guy, and I like to display that on the forums. I say what's on my mind instead of conforming to the general generic opinion. It's so dry there and I just wanted to add some... pizzazz. I never meant to be nasty, if I came across that wat.
usually just for the sake of being mean and watching his post count go up in the process, rarely adding anything to a real conversation
Post count? What the ****? You've got to be ******** me.
Anyway, just wanted to state my case...
Maybe you didn't seem to come across this way, but the majority of your posts are/were negative. There is a difference between conforming to the general opinion and being a jerk. Maybe you didn't mean them to sound like that, and if thats so I think its a misunderstanding.
I thought that you were warned before for saying stuff like this, and I know you've had some of your responses edited down in the past. If I'm mistaken I'm sorry.
As for the post count thing, I retract my statement. It just seemed at the time most of your posts were just to say something negative and not to add to the discussion.
Now that I mull over the topic more, I don't think you needed to be banned; maybe suspended. I agree with you that you were banned due to the public reaction to your comment, but they wouldn't have banned you just over the comment unless you had problems in the past.
Either way, whats done is done. Hopefully you will enjoy it here, and I hope we can get along here.
