Re: Ping The Bored, Re: Proposal

Maybe this should be for Jon to decided. Maybe he already has? Nothing personally against you Steve and I mean that...but, it is the case of if the camel gets his head in the tent, eventually the whole camel will end up in there and take a dump. Perhaps Jon had enough of shoveling out the camel manure. Manure can either be fertilizer or it can stink up the joint.

And perhaps the ban itself was a big pile of manure.

Two weeks before the ban, I was sent the following EMail from Ted Smith, a co-moderator of Cable Asylum:

Howdy Steve

Hey, I just thought I'd say, that despite our little discussion on Cables the other day, that I think you've been being quite even handed of late (please don't take this as a left handed complement :)

I know that you and Jon can barely control yourselves with respect to each other (and I'm in the dog house with him too :) but aside from that I wish others who 'discuss' things a lot could remain as level headed...

BTW, it's also good to have you helping at random with the little
questions around the place. (No implication intended that you ever didn't or that you were unhelpful at random, etc. :)

Then I received this two weeks later:

Howdy Steve

Due to recent posts and behavior on your part, including posting
profanities and personal attacks, it has been requested by the Moderators of the Cable Asylum, that you be banned from the forum for an indefinite time period.

This decision was not arrived at lightly, nor was it done in haste.
However, it is felt that your excesses are now outweighing your
contributions to the Cable Asylum, and your continued presence is a
detriment to the forum as a whole.

When I asked what recent posts and behavior were being referred to (an obvious puzzlement given the previous EMail I'd received), I was told this:

Howdy Steve

As was mentioned in my message this wasn't a quick decision. We talked for a while about it. I wouldn't say that any of your posts on cables for the last few days was a problem

Rod himself told me he didn't feel the ban was warranted.

I was also told that the ban was not permanent:

Just to beat another dead horse: it's only Cables not the rest of the asylum and it's not permanent.

So unless there's just been a lot lying and two-facedness, something sure smells like a pile of manure.

The proposal I sent at Rod's request had to do with amoeliorating the "problems" on Cable Asylum, specifically, that between myself and Jon.

The proposal was that I would not say anything to or about Jon either directly or indirectly, provided he reciprocated with respect to me.

Publicising your situation seems rather "unusual"
If the bored is not responding to your emails, perhaps they don't:

Want to respond.
Unable to decided.
Already decided.

Great. But if they choose not to communicate anything with me, they can't very well be surprised that I would bring it up on General Asylum again.

I'm a bit confused however as to why it's been moved over to the Support forum when it says right at the top in red letters:

This forum is ONLY for Asylum software support and enhancement requests. Thanks!

Do bans fall under "Asylum software support and enhancement requests"?
