Gonzolas, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Unhelpful comments on a PI thread = ban. It's probably for a week.

You're only banned for a week !!!!!

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

That is insane. I was being serious. If anyone watches the Trisha show, you will see that they offer free advice for couples with relationship difficulties, and free counselling services afterwards. My comment was in no way offensive or unhelpful.

Simple a case of a mod with an itchy finger in my opinion.

If the Trisha show offers guidance and counselling to people banned from an Internet forum then I think you should definitely go on there.

And what exactly is that supposed to mean? Just because the mod didn't interpret my comment the way it was intended, does not mean I should be banned in my opinion. It was akin to saying "I think you two should go to a relationship counsellor".

I don't know what you are trying to achieve with smart comments. I have a genuine case here.

hahahahaha....classic. In fairness it wasn't the worst thing you could have posted but it does warrent a short temp ban so in future you'll keep such wit to the humour or cuckoos nest forums

Kinda humourous though. Also - do not incur the wrath of AH mods.

Why does it warrant a short temp ban? I don't understand. Look up on google or something what the show offers to people, particularly with relationship difficulties. It can actually be quite helpful and the majority of the time, situations are resolved.

Look I will accept the ban if I can just be told what rule I broke. I spent time reading the charter for Personal Issues and can't see what rule has been broken.

Ecksor while you are here, I always wondered why your post count reverts to 0 after every post. Do you purpousely reset it each time, or is it set to always be at 0?

Just curious....

and to stay on topic, eh.....It was a satirical remark gonzso that regardless of your genuine opinion you knew would invoke such wrath

It wasn't satirical in any way and was not intended to be. I didn't break any of the rules for boards.ie or Personal Issues. And now I am banned.

Honestly just drop it your not making any friends by Whining on , accept your ban The PI thread is very tempermental and why one persons comment might seem totally harmless tehre is other reading the thread you might offend , my first time reading the thread i thought your comment was childish and uncalled for no one advices anyone to go on the trisha show unless there trying to be witty and sarcastic and your none .

Hardly a big deal. I'm sure Merc can provide a link to wherever it was he asked for it anyway.

So no official reason then? Just a random banning by power hungry mod #23421 ?

well, personally i found the line humourous, and today i wouldnt have banned anyone for it, but on another day, i might have.

however, im certainly not going to argue the point.

the ban stays, its only a week, and you will learn in time what you can say on what forums and with what mods.

You know i actually quite like wwm approach. "Meh, it's an imperfect world, so don't expect me to be perfect". At least it's honest.
