Wow... Never saw anyone get banned from Facebook. Although, I am banned from a group on FB.... and well, OK... 4 forums...

To be fair, they didn't really ban me. Pretty sure you can torture people and keep your account while in jail. I more/less banned myself for the reasons cited in the post above and because the site is so *&#'ing cuttered with BS, pop-ups, roll-ups, "suggestions", ads, and other $#!+. How a site like that takes off and very clean, easy-to-use sites like this die, is beyond my 44-y/o brain.

Now the phishing-bots have tried to use my abandoned account and I care not enough (or care less depending on your grammar preference) to try and retrieve it.

You promote a false dichotomy with which I strongly disagree and that is sadly reflective of the general direction of recent societal discourse particularly most recently in the political arena. It is absolutely your right to do with your property what you see fit subject to not directly and negatively impacting my welfare. But you absolutely have no right to constrain my my opinion regarding your behaviour particularly here in a forum. It's called free speech and constitutes one of our fundamental rights and be damned to anyone that tries to shut me up particularly when it comes to the rape and pillage of our beloved C Bodies. With every right come responsibilities. Where some people tend to go off the rails is they allow their opinions and criticisms to devolve into personal attacks. The definition of a forum is a place where ideas and issues on views are exchanged. No ideas or opinions should be out of bounds with the only stipulation being the prohibition of personal attacks. My .02.

Jeez I just realized that I also come because it seems like a lot of smart people are up in here. I gotta agree with the above 100%.
