It could be interesting / frustrating / hilarious to see what the reason was.
Thanks but it just spins my head. I think TGP is dominated by fundamentalist christians. They claim to disallow politics and religion but are quite OK with having discussions about praise and worship gear.Monkey Man":2qrn63zh said:Ahh... so that's what it was. Thanks for the update, man.
You can't help what artists say in their songs, so I concur that it's ridiculous. Heard a lot of stories equally-so 'though.
You'll be safe here at RT, brother.

I appreciate that sort of stuff; to me it's just like the use of brackets - no matter how many nested / embedded statements one adds, the result must be logical and therefore every opening ( "(" ) necessitates closure ( ")" ).
Anyway, welcome to the forum, O' Logical One. Hopefully you've found your perfect "safe space" from the ban hammer.

I face the same dilemma very-often online. Use more sentences, thus dragging the whole thing out, or integrate everything relevant into more-complex ones (sentences) for a juicier and more-efficient read. I'm such a goof.

Yeah, I am in the same boat.
Got a permanent ban from TGP about half a year ago.
Honestly I couldn't really blame the moderators though, as the way I formulated my vituperation of Pete Townshend, written in response to the interview with him that was the topic of the thread I posted in, where he expressed some, to put it in a much nicer way that it really was, not so very nice opinions about his deceased former band mate John Entwistle, was not really suited for any public forum, and I actually agree that I went way over the acceptable line there and deserved at least a serious reprimand, weather then the essence of what I wrote might have been true or not.
However technically it did only get me a warning, but because it raised my amount of infraction points, I believe they call it, over the max limit allowed, due to some warnings as well as a single temporary suspension that I had received previously, those mostly earned due to, in my opinion at least, the moderators of TPG being overly sensitive about stuff that really ought to not be any real issue for by far most people, completely in line with what seems to be the recurrent consensus of this thread, I automatically got permanently banned from their forum.
100% agree. The bracketed clarification was for those who's command of the language isn't what it could be; the subject (sentences - there I go again!) had been clearly-established in the first 3 words.Baloney Balderdash":1yrzqzsi said:Actually that seems like a perfectly well constructed sentence to me, more so if you had just left the brackets out all together though.Monkey Man":1yrzqzsi said:Use more sentences, thus dragging the whole thing out, or integrate everything relevant into more-complex ones (sentences) for a juicier and more-efficient read.

Is he still doing his "research"?
