Censoring is Ridiculous on Blueridgenow

[White Man From Town]

Townie sent me the messages. Maybe he'll post them here verbatim, or give me permission.
It makes a lot more sense. However, if the admin is delegating authority, he's made a whopper of a mistake.

Still, there's always that elaborate ruse theory.

let's hold off posting it here for the time being. let's see what transpires since this new revelation.

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that Administrator post was real even if he hadn't come out and said it wasn't.
White man was pretty obviously trolling.

it was not the administrator who wrote that, it was the moderator and i am not trolling.

when i posted that piece, i forgot to put my username in the username box, and it showed me to be a guest poster.
sorry for the confusion.

i had communicated with the moderator trying to get more than a canned response in regard to his actions and that was the mumbo jumbo he
wrote back to me. then the administrator posted in the t/n forum about disseminating misinformation and i sent him an email explaining that
was what the moderator wrote himself. the response i got back makes it appear that he is unaware of the moderators actions or writings!
this ought to be good.

Alight, but do you mind taking a screenshot of that P.M. and posting it? If you need some instructions for that I can probably help you out.

If you understandably do not want to post it, you can send it directly to my email - bannination123@gmail.com - I will not repost it without your permission, I'd just like to see it.

Ok, I did a little customization, if you do not like the theme for some reason, you can change it to the old one in the user preferences (providing you've made an account.)

Dark themes are easier for me to read, but if yall overwhelmingly do not like it, I'll switch it back to the default. I'm not settled on it myself.

[White Man From Town]

i have asked k9nanny to pm bannination the pm i sent her. i think i like this new format, i think.

[bannination]

I officially believe townie and retract my earlier suspicion... and also offer my apologies.

aw shucks!

[bannination]

They ultimately answer to NYT do they not???

NYT no longer owns the T/N. Can't recall who it was who bought them.

I believe it's Halifax Media Group, their homepage lists blueridgenow.com

Done- on this site, not BRN.

You and k9nanny had me wondering if i was a fool for thinking Townie might be telling the truth.

you wanna translate that? :?:

i was going to post as "Townie". I got this: "The username contains forbidden characters."
oooh! is nascar lurking here somewhere?

[White Man From Town]

I quoted your posts without questioning their veracity, bannination and k9nanny raised suspicions,
I generally trust their judgment so I doubted mine, now bannination (at least) believes you, I feel better.

shucks. now i even feel better. Whit.

I didn't question Townie. I questioned the legitimacy of the post he quoted, the one about shutting down the forum. It didn't seem at all "administrative" to me.

That was me, not a guest. Thought I was logged in.

Turns out that Townie is the "Guest" that first posted the Moderator's alleged rant.

that's what happened to me. old habits hard to break.

[Bungalow Bill]

Thanks for the answers about how to access this site without going through the forum.
It's pretty clear that the rules are just a joke and these folks are going to censor whatever
they want to. Yep, censors never like to be called censors, big surprise.

I posted about 6 or 7 things yesterday. On the Constitution Birthday site I mentioned that
I hope the moderator wouldn't notice that Foogle's link has a caption containing the f word.
It's still there of course, though the f word caption is now on page 2 of the link instead of
page 1. Naturally my post was deleted. That's what makes these dopes so obvious.

[O Really]

The paper will either shut down the Forum or not, but it's not going to be over the nit-picky crap as stated. Seriously, you telling me that the Detective and friends don't enjoy their jousting with the poster formerly known as "Vrede"? (And good to see the name again, BTW!)

They really think that someone using the same swearing symbols %$&^$ as found in the comics is so offensive they have to protect the tender eyes of their readers? Last week in "Baby Blues" Darryl the father was trying to teach Wren, the baby, to say "Daddy." He repeated it over and she just sat there. He then dropped something and said "*&^*&*8#" to which Wren immediately repeated "*&^*&*8#"

And if they did succeed in sanitizing it to the point of beige wallpaper, would anybody still be around to participate? Just look at the "around town" section.

Hey, y'all.

I left after having to call/email the editor after I had summarily been banned for supposedly being someone else that had been banned before. I have never had another online persona or avatar byt 'perspctv'.

Anywho .... then I started getting wanker warnings on the forum and via email for 'posting too much'.

So I emailed the editor and told him to shove his site and wrote the farewell email that was scrubbed after a day or so.

Y'all may want to try the above site. Your BRN site own name etc works there as well [same parent company]. No moderation to speak of thus far. A poster has been telling me to fuck off for several posts ... [I don't' complain to mods] only reaction was other posters chiding and mocking her sinking to such a level.

Anywho - just thought y'all may want to try another site ... PS - I am suspicious of nascar as much of the subsequent warnings arrived after rubbing his nose n his own ignorance.

Peace.

[Guest]

Both Big Ugly and nascarfan88 accused persptcv of being me. I told them they were wrong, as usual. Both persptcv and I were then disappeared.

Harpo, the perspctv, is back.

I'd say you are correct.

You are both wrong. Nothing surprising about that.

Of course, it could just be that your strategy now is to silence lefties with Harpo accusations and you don't really care whether they're true or not.

Respond by quoting me if you dare, your con wet nurse will erase my post soon.

You mean, all lefties are a single poster?
A quick comparison of vocabulary, syntax, and cadence belies that theory.
I do miss perspctv.

Yea - it was soon after the "I'd say you are correct" that I got my initial ban - I was able to undo by going to Mark S. the editor.

So this is where everyone went and r-u-n-n-o-f-t to! Seems the mod is pissing off the whole world!

If I join here can I still be a lib/con/np/anti-gay and piss off any of opposing views?

Yep, you can be your normal asshole self.

EDIT: Updated redirection; you can now just type hville.hostzi.com to get to this forum instead of that long hogwash.

Thanks. I knew you'd let one more asshole in your club. Does this make us a fraternity?
