My take on it is the same as RW's. My name there is Beau. I cannot login so I cannot post any of the threads where I was harassed. How to fix. 1. Delete all cookies. 2. Delete your cache 3. Turn off your modem for at least an hour - best overnight. With luck you will get a new IP address. 4. Register again using a different e-mail address. I did have a quick look and you were not treated ideally. While that may work, and I've considered similar action on another forum, in the end, I decided that there was no logical reason to go back to a forum that allowed such blatant bullying and unfairness. The only reason to go back would be revenge and that isn't a very healthy reason to do something.

I'm not going back there.
I don't want to spend time with those people, not after the way that they treated me.

Looks like Beau has some friends over there who think that he should not have been banned. It looks like she was banned because several members left that forum complaining about her. That I do not think is, in itself, a valid reason to ban her. The good news is that that forum looks like it has seen better days. This is the thread I have been reading www.secularcafe.org/showthread.php?t=15919. Most interesting reading. The more I read the more I am pro Beau. Ambrose has also been banned from that forum.

While I'm relatively new to the situation, I agree with your assessment. I guess "rational discussion" is a relative term for some people.

What a bunch of assholes! If you've had a run in with staff there, please rant here. I'm really in the mood to rant right now. They're assholes!! How do you get banned from that site?

<snip> How do you get banned from that site? As beau found out, far too easily. Just been reading their rules. One of them contradict itself! Calling another member a jerk is a personal attack on another member. To rub it all in this is what their mod says. I cannot see how that is anything other than a personal attack. The quote is from the thread I linked above. Now I know why the forum has seen better days. It is now a much smaller place than it was a few years ago.

What I disliked about SC was their modding style.
I complained a couple of times about the actions of staff and they refused to apologise.
Essentially, they were never in the wrong, as far as they were concerned, and I found that frustrating at times.

I was a member there for a while but did not post that often and have not been back there in a long time.

Did you use the same name that you're using here?
