am trying to turn my -not-needed-for-work day into a work on piece i'm writing day (semi-successfully), which naturally means i've been checking in on every last blog i pay mind to round the world)

for whatever reason there is lots of quite bad-tempered stuff goin down, inc.trolling, and threats of bans and actual bans -- some deserved, some less so

now i *think* it's true to say i've never been banned from a website (this isn't a testament to my loveliness so much as my fairly severe confrontation-averseness -- there are plenty of times down the years i should have said stuff and didn't)

but what about you?

not my screencaps, obv, seeing as I'm B&. IDK if anyone else is aware of capslock but it's mostly not about strict rule enforcement other than the fact you aint meant to use losercase, obv.

Clearly the answer here is start yr own rival comm where all text must be written in alternate upper/lower case.

I don't think I've ever been banned either. I was involved in trying to ban one annoying person from ILX, as you may recall. I got threatened with legal action, rather implausibly.

I can't remember being banned from anywhere internet-related, but I was once chucked out of the Coach & Horses for eating chips and told not to come back. I shall fill in the poll based on that experience.

Wasn't Sir Dubdobdee himself once ejected from a bar for asking for a glass of water?

i was told i'd have to pay a plainly ridiculous amount for it, which was tantamount to refusal to serve, but i wasn't asked to leave, my friends and i walked out -- we certainly weren't banned, tho we didn't exactly feel welcome and never returned

actually is this right?

DDD: i'll have a glass of water
barkeep: that'll be a pound (or watever, this is more than 25 years ago)
DDD: ok i won't have anything then
bk: you come in my pub you buy a drink
DDD & pals: all immediately leave and never return

I have never been banned, I would be mortified if this happened. I would never go back, and feel terrible that I offended people (or take the ban as some disapproval of me as a person).

for whatever reason there is lots of quite bad-tempered stuff goin down, inc.trolling, and threats of bans and actual bans - some deserved, some less so

Links? (Are the contretemps interesting? Boring? Baffling?)

Are the antagonists primarily from the United States? TAXES ARE DUE TODAY. (I have yet to send mine off. I have to walk fifteen minutes to the xerox and post office, and I keep putting this off.)

at obsidian wings (battered women and whether female violence against men is overlooked) and crooked timber (re hillsborough, and ergonomic regulations, difft arguments) and skirting it at unfogged (gender essentialism and whether trans-gendered women get to use all-women locker rooms)

none of them are particularly interesting as arguments -- it just feels like a bad-tempered day

Never been banned personally, but a million internet-years ago a major contributor to a ML I was on was banned for making off-topic posts, and most of the other major contributors (including me) left in solidarity and joined the splinter ML he created instead.

I've recently been told I was in danger of being banned from a LJ community I'm on, due to not having met minimum participation requirements (fair enough - I haven't read/watched enough of the topic to be able to participate, i.e. it was a bad idea to have joined to begin with ^^;).
