I don't want to say too much for fear of getting a strike, and I don't know alot. Just that a few of our fellow Ledgies received strikes & won't be posting for a bit. Something about a pic that in no way broke any Ledge rules, but was deemed too gross to have in a sig. Whatever.

Really? I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.

Yeah, right.

That's baloney. The mod asked for that photo to be removed, it was not a demand but a request. A PRIVATE request. The temp ban is a separate matter.

I didn't say that the pic directly resulted in strikes/banning. I heard that's what started it.

But then I though it would also be explained why certain threads around here have been going missing recently.

Oh, great, Sharon.

Now this thread will magically disappear. Or at the very least, we'll get the "mod decision/private matter/consorship/stop talking about it this instant/you've been warned" speech again.

I decided to speed up since I'm guessing 65MPH in the slow lane is too slow for Billy-John/Bob-Bubba, who apparently suffers from led-foot. Then I felt the car jerk hard, then a high pitched whining sound resonated from underneath our car - Threw a few gears out of the transmission!

I immediately had a panic attack...

Great - Here we are about 65 miles from home on the interstate with no turnaround exit for another 15 miles. I decided to say "F**k it", took the next exit after the toll both (Thank God/Allah/Shatner for 'pikepass') drove another 10 miles away just to be able to circle around and pray we made it home without injurying ourselves or someone else.

Drove the living **** outta the car, Everytime I stopped at a stop sign/stop light I had to slowly edge the car forward so it would catch the transmission & drive.

Made it all-the-way home. Parked the car, which now has no reverse gear, and now tryingn to figure out what the hell else is going to go wrong to us.

We have been through enough hell since 2005, but for some reason we still keep knockin' instead of taking the easy way out (Trust me, I think about suicide alot, BUT I wont do it - I won't put my family through that ****, especially Lesa whose adopted Father shot himself in Nov.2004 - Just 2 months before she found Mom.)

Oh, the wound on my hand has opened up more...So how was y'alls day?

Stay with us Estranged, we love you here!!!!!! Don't even talk about suicide. Sending much love to you and your wife...Ledgie love to you!!!!!

Now go listen to TURN IT ON and feel better!

A request was made for Carrie to remove her signature pic. A request, not a demand.
Carrie didn't like it, and decided to send a "message" to Chris with her horse's ass pic. Her friends followed suit.

Whether or not any of you like us, or agree with us, we're not here... on our own time and without pay... to be mocked or disrespected. On other message boards, that kind of behaviour is immediately greeted with a permanent ban. We've never done that here on the Ledge, yet all we get for our troubles is more grief.

The crew who joined in on the "horse's ass brigade" were TEMPORARILY banned for just a few short days, until this matter can be discussed by the mods and sorted through. Since a dozen people were involved, this was done to prevent the situation from escalating... as it has so many times in the past. No one has been given a strike and no one has been permanently banned. This was done as a preventative measure. It is a right of the moderators, and has been exercised in the past when necessary.

^ Thanks for the explanation, Stew. This just keeps getting better & better. Mocked & disrespected? Come off it. It was a joke, for cripes sake. Nobody was attacking anyone, nobody posted any pics that were against the rules. Sending a message? A message saying what, that we're goofy & immature & silly people sometimes? Wow, that IS a real problem.

I'd be way more concerned about what kind of message it sends when a MODERATOR sends a PM to a member asking them to remove a pic for no other reason that because they think it's gross & don't want to look at it.

gretchen · #**554** 03-26-2007, 05:42 PM

Let's just be cool on the Ledge, were all here to have fun and come together because we love FM, Stevie, Lindsey, Chris, John & Mick and each other...let's not spoil this great Ledge thing, people.

One of the things that I love about this site is the way that people push the envelope in terms of what is in good taste. 95% of the time I fall about laughing at the antics of the 'regulars'. For that I don't care about the 5% when for some they go over the top. It is a wonderful place to be! It wouldn't be the same without those not currently involved in the forum, and I hope they'll be back soon.
