It was on the accordion forum too. Probably because I posted this cartoon years ago on the FDP. Those polka guys can really hold a grudge. Click to enlarge

I'm sure there are some fine folk over there. But seeing the attacks directed at the FDP, individuals and general belittlement of its contributing members was enough for me to keep away. Kinda creepy.

I read through the thread that was linked here for a short time yesterday. I thought it was hilarious.
"I didn't do nuffin' and next thing I know I was banned"
"All I did was violate the rules five or six times and the bad man bounced me"
When did whining become an attractive attribute for adults?

Such things will not stand on this forum! My gauge or the highway!!!

Exactly! It was this one (among others) that caused me to imply that the posters' comments were disingenuous and to question the their "real" agenda(s).

There's a difference between what one gets banned for and what one's last post were, they aren't always the same. I think someone missed that.

I’m glad people are enjoying it. 500 members and climbing, far exceeded my expectations.

Some people just need to get over themselves. Lots of loose cannons out there, I deal with them at work all day. Always someone wanting to discredit someone else.
I'm a supervisor at my job, salary, make personnel decisions, hire, fire folks, guide, direct the work, schedule, you name it. Yet I have a few folks that are happy to let me know that I'm NOT a supervisor.
I even heard it tonight from a lady after I gave her the second warning letter for poor attendance. "well, you're really not a supervisor" she says. I told to keep saying that, but when I tell her she's fired, (which in my estimation will happen shortly) I asked her what will she say then?
Her reply...well..... you're still not a supervisor.
Duh...some folks just don't have enough sense to come in from the rain.

Man, I don't log in for a few days, and I miss all the fireworks!
Dang!
In all seriousness, I'm glad I'm not part of the drama, or even know where the drama is.
Are we talking Facebook? I'm not a member there either. I hear it's a pretty big thing these days though, but I've never been there.

One search, top of the list. I didn't get past the first page, but will do a thorough read-through later. Just because...

: "I'd guess that there are folks (here) who went to Moes2.0 just to how far they could push things before they'd get the boot" I used to think once people hit a certain age their child like behavior stopped. Found out I was wrong 40 years ago. Also, I hate the rumor mill. People get a theory and run with it “ as it is truth”

I seem to avoid most of the drama for some reason . For that I am glad. It doesnt surprize me that grown men can act worse than women in a hair salon sometimes . Although it should.

We should be cautious we don't devolve into the same criticisms for which we're accusing other sites. Just sayin'...

I don’t know what forum you’re talking about “accordion?!”, but this behavior is pretty common.
I’ve been participating in Internet forums since the late 90s and I see this all the time. Shouldn’t surprise anyone anymore.
It’s always the same: mods/admins act like they will, not always with due fair play, and the banned/punished, most of the times having deserved it, get grouchy somewhere else about it.
IMHO, and YMMV, keeping a thread about this only spills gasoline into the troll fire.
My point of view, for what it’s worth.

I don’t know what forum you’re talking about “accordion?!” Sérgio, that didn't actually happen; I was poking fun just to make the point that no matter how trivial something is, some people will be offended because that's the way things are now: broadcasting grievances has become an entire industry. The scripts of reality TV shows are mostly the characters chewing on each other. Lots of the comments on YouTube vids and Facebook are brat-like behavior. As the song goes, "thaaaaat's en-ter-TAIN-ment..." Some people just cannot turn around and walk away. The fact that we need janitors to take out the trash online is the sad result of all this. Life is a whole lot more fun for a person if they spend their time creating something besides drama.

I like this place, for the same reason I liked the FDP. It's civil yet interesting and often very funny.
I went to the "Members" tab, sorted by "Posts", column and was surprised to see that I was on page 1 of 11. Shows how much I love this place. As it is.
Thanks Mike. And Chris.

I meant that I don’t know what forums this thread is all about, where people are talking about Moe’s Tavern. Thought you were calling it accordion forum.

Edited to add; I'm glad we are not naming the site(s).
