~~ WHO Was Banned Today? #2 ~~

[tbhausen]

I have met her and had a most pleasant conversation. Completely different persona in person.

I have known CBhausen and his brother TBhausen for a long time. Absolutely switched on and squared away in the real world.

Appreciate that, cm.

you get the hammer for your potty mouth, i call dibs!

Jagee usually calls dibs on my guns anytime I sneeze, you might be first. We will have to check the official record.

I also really like 88GT. In fact, she adopted one of my cats when I moved out of the city earlier this year. But she has a notoriously tough time talking a fall back position.

She chose the hill she wanted to die on. Not much more can be said.

Well said.

I hope she comes back. I really liked her style.

As either my dad or some movie once said;

"Don't take no **** off no one."

At one point we wanted to strangle each other, but after meeting FTF I truly like her. I hope she isn't gone for good

A 1911 is pretty useless without the hammer....

ohhhh wait......you meant that hammer......

To the mods: Was there a behind the scenes reason for 88GT's ban?

Thanks,
Adam

 

[AngryRooster]

Looks like 88GT got the hammer. What did I miss?

Going to miss the gardening and canning advice. One of the few times my wife would get on here and read. Guess that's over now.

Sometimes the more prudent advice to follow is "Don't start ****, won't be none."

Seconded. I read everything she posted in the "Should I ban CBHausen" thread. Had to be something behind the scenes or someone just got tired of the

I decide to go to bed at a decent hour for once, on a Saturday night, and you guys go and get 88GT banned?!?!

Hol-yyyy Cow!

Looked like lots were cheerleading the ban.

I agree with GPIA7R and BnB, there must have been some behind-the-scenes stuff going on. Otherwise, from what I was reading, it was pretty tame stuff--compared to some other threads.

I never met 88GT in person. Something tells me we would get along just fine in real life.

The staff of INGO is united in this action. Along with the good (which is considerable from this user) comes the bad, and the bad has been stacking up for a long time. Our staff tries very hard to be fair and consistent with disciplinary action. We give warnings, infractions, temp bans...anything to get a users attention before we have to issue a permanent ban. In this case the staff was met with a user that felt she had legitimate criticisms...but after trying to reach out and resolve these issues (repeatedly) it became clear that she did not want a resolution...she wanted to be a voice of dissent.

Over time this wears on the staff. We are volunteers. There isn't much incentive to log on when all we see is the same old crap about how bad we are at our jobs...always from the same few users. Enough is enough. We are not interested in losing good moderators over...well, let's call it what it is: trolling

In short: this user has chosen an adversarial relationship with the staff of INGO, and we have had enough of it. We think she will be happier elsewhere, and have made that decision for her.

This decision has been discussed AD NAUSEUM among the staff...and is final. We hope you understand.

thanks for the response

INGO will be a little less vibrant without 88GT.

In the big picture my opinion is, well, nada but I do understand.

I liked 88GT and agreed with many of her complaints about one moderator, but I understand the mods decision. She was long past the time to just let it go, accept that there was nothing she could do to change things, and move on.

 

[bradmedic04]

Well, ok then. Nobody is invincible...
