Wow. I've been a member here for 3 years and have never been scolded like this before. If I broke or violated any rules I truly apologize, however I do not feel that my actions in any way warranted such a disrespectful response. I was not trying to express any personal "political" views, or spread hate or slander, I was simple trying to "Talk about celebrities." which happens to be a description of that area of the forum. As I previously posted, which was deleted w/o warning, I was unaware that there was a section on this board for debates. Over the years I've noticed threads filled with comments from members (most notably that Britany Spears one) and assumed talk amongst members was allowed in Celebrity threads as long as they didn't start any flame wars.

I am disappointed that the posts I spent time creating were deleted w/o warning and I was berated with :evil:'s for a simple mistake, for a first time mistake, for an understandable mistake. I thought my contributions to this great forum and it's dedicated members warranted more respect, especially by a moderator.

If me expressing my opinions results in a ban then so be it. However, I was truly upset my robeef's comments which seemed direct at me and felt the need to express it.

sugababy, I appreciate your comments. I don't want my original post to be misconstrued; I TRULY APPRECIATE AND COMMEND ALL THE HARD WORK ALL OF YOU MODERATORS DO HERE AT The FamousBoard. Perhaps it's not said often enough, but I am continually amazed at how "tidy", regulated and up-to-date each thread is. I cannot begin to image just how much time and effort you guys (most notably butler bill, Turtle and MARKK) put into maintaining this place, as well as the dedicated members who post often, and comment even more often. Their contributions also often go unrecognized. So I would also like to take a second to thank them all for their time and effort. Together, you guys make this forum by far THE BEST kept board on the net.

With that being said, the issue I had was a one time event that was the culmination of frustration and a rule violation which was quickly resolved via PM by me and robeef. I want to apologize for airing out my grievances on the board before trying to discuss the situation via PM first.


Cheers 2u All :partyman:

Now, back to my Celebrity-Addiction...

P.S. Have you guys seen yet?
