Have you ever been banned from a forum?
Discussion
got banned from www.kiwi.vg (think its called LOLinternets now) quite a few times. They thought I was a right wing nazi, truth is they are a bunch of politically correct nonces
Worse than being banned, I trolled a Segway site, to have ago at their green, change-the-world attitude and particularly seeing it as a serious means of transport. Back then they wouldn't entertain any recreational use (although I'm pleased to see that Segway Polo is now popular). I posted topics with titles like "it's a bit rubbish isn't it".
You can wind them up by suggesting that they are the SUV of the sidewalk, that they are related to the C5 in concept (Dean Kamen has a big problem with that one) and limiting the top speed is nanny state.
And they responded by being nice to me. Understanding in their views. Making sensible counter arguments, welcoming me to the fold.
It was really rather good and I lost the will to be nasty to them.
I still think Segways are pants though.

I got banned last night. Got fed up with Bruciebaby and the mods defending him. Said I would delete all my posts and got banned to stop me.
I am with you on that twerp Bruciebaby but I bet you are not banned.They probably just tried to 'protect' you from your drunken stupor.
Nope, but I did ask to be (temporarily) banned from TheDVDForums a few years ago after a particularly bad day when anything and everything was winding me up. I couldn't help going back to certain threads and getting more and more incensed for no rational reason (although there was one sanctimonious b

I got banned from a chicken forum!
Firstly, how on earth do you get banned from a chicken forum?Secondly, why on earth would anyone set up a chicken forum in the first place?
Or were until Mr Fox ate them!
I got into an argument over electric fencing with the owner and he banned me!
Hey it all goes on here in Surrey

I got banned from AV Forums for posting my doubts about 'man made Global Warming' in their climate change section. They absolutely do not allow anyone to criticise or question the theory.
If you don't agree..BANNED!
Funnily enough I've also been banned from AV Forums, but for suggesting that a trade was against their own rules. Strangely the guy who was competing with me for the item was one of their moderators......If you don't agree..BANNED!

Pretty odd thing to say Cotty when it simply isnt true.Everyone feels exactly the same about Bruciebabe but I cant understand why you let it wind you up so much.
