I guess that makes you my ruler, huh Administrator?

You are finally King…

Admin. is King.
He owns this space on the internet. He pays for it, he controls the content. It is his domicile.
He allows others, even strangers, to enter.
He is the King of the TBP castle.
How can this be difficult to understand?

Grog,

It isn’t hard to understand.

But I doubt his posting was in support of fiefdoms. Libertarians tend not to like totalitarians.

But ye minions will continue to do his bidding.

Dhimmi Doug is the type of fuckstick that abhors personal property rights. He thinks that anything anyone else works hard for and earns belongs to assclowns* like himself.

*assclown = skidmark in the collective underwear of society.

A troll being anyone who disapproves of the king and his henchmen.

Do thy bidding, slave.

Very few posters here are of a nature to do anyone’s bidding, they post what they want and don’t care that much what anyone else wants them to be posting instead.

As yourself, if you need an example.

And the “king” allows this, something rather uncommon on the internet today.

As those sites on your side demonstrate almost universally.

Agreed, Anonymous.

Except for the ‘my side’ part.

Be nice to Dookie Stranger.

He is busy at local Palais de Justice getting his marching orders for day.

It might be you today Rob 🙂

Maybe I’ll find you in your basement defiling yourself to pictures of Administrator?

Admin,
Over the past few days I have been banned from your site three times. As I comment infrequently I figure it is a glitch in the system. I found that if I unsubscribe and wait a while I am able to resubscribe. If you really want me banned let me know and I will stay away. Another possibility is that someone is hacking your site, which might explain the disappearance of some of your former regular commenters.
I would appreciate your reply.

Nobody gets banned on TBP. Even Bug Eyed Bottom Frogs can post!

See above for proof..

Seriously though if you have a problem logging in just send him an email and he can clear it up. It happened to me a while back. Man with no name fixed it and was able to rejoin..

I have a lot of automated anti-bad-guy algorithms in place that are constantly scanning the logs here for activities that seem unwholesome. Those activities have nothing to do with content. They are things like repeatedly unsuccessfully trying to log in as a site administrator, or sending requests to the site trying to get a list of all the users. When my algos see activity like that, they ban the IP address originating them from being able to access the site (at all) for some period of time (how long depends on the nature of the abuse).

The most common reason for people getting banned on this site is blowing the login too many times within a short period. This is a defense against brute-force login attacks (by guessing passwords over and over). If you get banned like that, just wait an hour and then login correctly.

That is why I got booted. I was trying to log into wordspress and was using my login password not this site’s. I tried a couple of times and like MWNN said I got booted. Sorry about that MWNN, it was like I said ma faute.

Heh! It’s a wonder anything gets posted here in that case! 🙂

A ‘mea-culpa’ may be in order.

To this post I came out uncharacteristically aggressive and opposed.

It is not normally in my character to do so our be such. Normally I try to contribute before being attacked, then react to the attack.

To explain, I didn’t think it within character for Administrator to quote Voltaire, another French Liberal.

I could have been nicer, but that is frowned upon here.

In a moment of clarity, even a French Liberal has the capacity to speak some truth.
