by the way i still have not found out why or who banned me... but you all treat me like a fleabag dog in here so ok... i forgive you....maybe.

+1

And dear N.O.T. You could see the result when you were banned, everyone... well except for some mod, wanted you back. BTW, you have matured a bit since then, haven´t you? ;)

Mirek, good for your to discuss this openly.. refreshing.
I read your response to the jerk wishing whoever would crash. Jeezuz it was mild.

If Brotherjohn some how--any how ----thought that your comments were "Lifetime Ban" worthy--then it is clear he doesn't understand his position and clear---as if it wasn't obviously from the first week----that he doesn't have the judgement to decide who should speak and who must be silenced.

Unfortunately it seems as though a lot of the mods do the ban thing exactly as you've described: log on and a stark message "You've been banned. Duration: Lifetime" or some crap...

Not a peep, not one word... And i have received email/pm from several others---thoughtful and amusing guys---who siad the same thing.
Not a word..

So on that point, don't think that was anything extra special, evidently that is the degree of contempt the mods have for the people who write the content which is the point of these "discussion" forums..

Maybe if you tried more cheerleading, you know colorful skirt, some pom-poms and practiced some high kicks like this

maybe then the Mods would love you more.. :eek:

maybe not. :crazy:
maybe there should be a semi-formalized method like a "re-call" we do in US elections for when somebody has lost the confidence of membership...like 'vote then out" of their position...

Good to see that the decision was rescinded but it should never had happened in the first place without any explanation.

Are there results for Monte Carlo pickems anywhere ?
Actually I probably don't want to see them, I will need to drown my sorrows. Speaking of which way is the bar and is it open for Sweden followers to assemble in yet ?

Sorry for the delay but Mark isn't responding to Pickem set up requests.
I shall manually have to calculate in the near future if we don't have an auto system (something I haven't had time to do since RMC and something I'd hoped to avoid with over 100 entries!). Sweden too by the looks of it

I´m not good at Excel. but can manage it. If you like you´d put down a programme and join a couple of forum members and we all together could get the PIckems result?

Can help you out as well P with the Pickems. Should be easy to create an excel spreadsheet for it and we can upload it somewhere where can be publicly viewed (google documents maybe?)

Thanks for the offer Y, much appreciated. I'm not too proud to admit that beyond simple summation I'm a MS dinosaur! Google Documents would be ideal. I'll sort out the points award criteria in tabular form and if there is still no sign of Mark replying by Monday next, let's go ahead so the system is launched and up to date before Mexico.

Thanks Per, as Y is local to me in London it will be relatively easy for us to thrash this matter out! Rest assured, Pickems will survive!
