Cgipson banned? Huh?

Just not sure why it seems to be so difficult. It has been explained very well in this thread.

A tough, warranted, TEMPORARY, decision was handed down to someone that is well versed on the rules and regs.

It is almost inevitable that people who are quite active here develop sort of a protective feeling about other even-difficult members.
'He may be a difficult crank but he's our difficult crank.'

And, at the same time, develop a feeling of ownership towards the forum. Well, it isn't 'ours' in any real sense, just a place where someone, the owners as represented by the admins, lets us play in return for behavior within their standards of reasonable behavior.

The Mods are tasked with enforcing these standards in a way that balances the goods of active discussion and interaction along with an encouraging atmosphere for the constant flow of new members.

I have been around, on and off, for a while and trust the good intentions of the current group of Mods and so I trust that while certain actions may be inscrutable to me, there are decent and good reasons.

I have been a mod at two other places - one incredibly less behaved than here and one incredibly better. With the member audience that this place draws, it works reasonably well.

Nailed it again!

Group hug.

I think the community here is lucky in a very specific way.
As opposed to many forums, the mods here are involved in the actual conversation about photos and thus they remain as real, non-abstract people. Second, they are willing to discuss their behavior and hear what the members are saying without getting offended or unpleasant (any more than their natural personalities ).

I have gotten my share of nasty-grams and have never noticed that there is any ongoing prejudice (except of course due to understandable jealousy about my quite obvious natural superiority to all).

This 4 page discussion, rather than leaving a nasty residue, has come out well for all. We the serfs understand how our masters, the mods, work hail and everyone understands how things work.

Now, while I am waiting for Kathy and Mishele to arrive for the anticipated group hug, I will go set up a video recorder in the bedroom.

This man's brain parts are on fire. But Mish can be the bad angel w/whip like accessory. Kathy can be the good(bad) girl in white ...but with a tall frosted beer glass.

We all know it(except for me). And maybe it was well deserved, but it doesn't change the fact we miss our crude, fouled-mouth bad boy; who for the most part could back up his educated rants. Even his "nemesises" miss their antagonists.

Females, bacon, with beer are pretty much male fantasies in general.
