I would like to see FAIR have some free speech zones. If people want to argue and exhange insults, then by golly, let them go at it. If the threads become a sewer than only the sewer rats will hang out in them. There has got to be a better way for FAIR to manage a board on the world wide Internet.

They are following the church's model: do not allow participation (or even viewing) from people deemed unworthy for whatever reason. Kinda reminds me of temple weddings.

Hence, the reason for the thread title: "FAIR's Inching Closer to Non-existance"

Mormons and free speech do not go together, they are like oil and water.

Hi There,

I was also banned from the "FAIR" Message Board this Morning. And I am happy that they banned me. The "FAIR" Message Board is now mostly a piece of crap.

I suspect most posters from this or KG's board have been banned. Truthdancer, Shades?

Well, well, well! I've been banned too. Funny, since I can't remember how long it's been since I posted there.

Interesting thing, I have the site bookmarked from a while ago and when I click on my bookmark I get right in, I try to keepasking them for my password which of course they immedialtely ban me again, so I just go back and click on the bookmark and I am right back in.

Now explain that one 'cause I sure don't

I just couldn't trust myself to stay away from that train wreck. Sometimes I think that place survives on sheer ego alone.

I guess they're afraid for Mr. PotatoHead too. I'm banned from the site, no loss really. I just didn't think I was such a threat or having such an impact....wow it's such a boost to my ego. I wonder if the ban is across the board, I mean there are a few posters from FAIRless that have came over to post that are TBMs, like BCSpace and others. I wonder if our anointed Bish Lea (with multiple personalities and avatars) is banned. In others words I am wondering if the banning was a flock shot of everyone regisitered here and at the Think Tank? or was the banning selective?

They likely feel that they are protecting their site from the evils of anti's. The main problem with that is that I have never been anything but polite on their board. Even had a good conversation with one guy.

They are working on the "if we can make them go away, then there is no trouble in the magic underwear kingdom".

Sorry FAIR mods. FAIR ain't fair, and your silence damns you.
