Quiet Warning

04/03/2017 3:54 PM

Thought I would say that I just got a P.M. from another CR4 member ( former member???) that he just got permanently banned from CR4 for religious/political posts. He is a regular and has been here for many years, and I enjoyed many of his posts. I would hate to see anymore members get banned so I am just passing on a quiet warning. I know I have, as many others have posted these types of posts. We need to be good.

Was it lyn?

Or was it the AP troll who tossed paraphrased/questionable scripture quotes at everyone in a rather judgemental contexts whenever secular science or whatever got too heavy for them?

(Still could have been Lyn anyway.)

No, it wasn't lyn. In fact, lyn visited on April 1st (check his profile). I dunno, can banned members visit? I would think not. Possibly lyn is just staying away?

Banned members can apparently visit and P.M. just not post or reply.

It wasn't lyn, but I am now wondering if that is what happened to him. I am not giving out his name out of respect but it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Anybody paying attention to posts today will know who it is.

Re: Quiet Warning

I tried to post this in the break room, but I guess I could not figure it out. Yes you are right, but it's not permanent, it's now a four day suspension, and he said inform the brethren, so yes it was James Stewart, point is the same, some of us, more than others, need to watch it.

So I will ask the mod's, when I posted this, I had no choice for the break room, so what is the trick to post to the break room, and can I get this moved there?

Arguing with the moderators and calling them names while you're quoting the Bible probably not a good idea...haha

No not a good idea, I am not trying to advocate for him, I didn't see what his last posts were about, this thread is just a warning that CR4 is not going to deal with it anymore.

I'll second that! Very sad to see James banned. He occasionally expressed religious views, which as it happens were the direct opposite of mine (though I didn't care to argue about in this forum). But it didn't seem a big problem to me, and his "normal" posts were often pertinent and valuable.

Can we ask Admin to reconsider? (hope that doesn't get me banned!)

Fair point, I missed the 4 days in #6. I was going by "permanently" in OP.

I thought Permanent was extreme,... even if he may have been warned... now, if he was pushing it to extremes beyond religion to a point of personal attacks (which he may have been) which there were a few here that did... then yes...

but if it was just for religion, no.

I guess they decided to make it temporary from what he told me. He'll be back in a couple days.

My time expired before I could finish....

On a more serious note... I don't care for people to preach their religion to me, Jimmy got too religious for me.... but it didn't bother me because I'll just pass over it... but I'll just as quickly point out the hypocrisy of organization of religion, any religion. As well as politics any party.

Frankly, I think its healthy to push the borders sometimes...

My buddy, just have had probably rough times. He needs some relaxing therapy. May be get some massage or foot spa may be. Staying away from ethanol and the bunsen burners will do just a little help, I guess.

OK, haha, when I posted this, I saw no option for the break room. As for your question, I am the divisions project manager, but also the maintenance supervisor, without any subordinates at this time, so I keep the shop running without any help because they don't want to pay help what they are worth.

As for the break room question, no, I did not see an option to post this in the break room like I wanted. You are someone that I respect, so the wolf asks the eagle, why did I not see the option to post this in the break room?

The Breakroom is a user group, you have to go there to post....you can't get there from here....You have to go down on the right hand side of the page and find 'User Group Directory' click on that .... then scroll down to the bottom and find 'CR4 fans'....click on that, you will see User Group Forums, and 'Break Room' at the top....click on that and you will be in the Break Room proper....under the heading is a 'Post To This Forum' button, click on that....now you have to be registered to post, so if you haven't registered go back to the beginning and start over....or just click here....

Break room?

Cripes that sounds more like how to get to the secret service tunnel the chinese slaves dug behind the abandoned coal bunker for the former main boiler systems that were down in the sub basement that got decommissioned and forgot about decades ago.

Only harder!

No wonder you guys never seem me in the break room. I'm afraid I'd get lost on the way there or back.

No thanks. I'll just stick to hanging out with the grounds maintenance crew for my breaks.

(They let me drive the RTV utility truck thing and dump stuff with it if I behave myself!)

I'm sorry, your not on the list. You see, you were never invited....

little word of advice.... when you drive your truck, keep your truck between the ditches when you drive, it'll ride a lot smoother.

Fun but hard to behave, I bet.

When I worked construction, the operators let me play with one of these :

I drove it around and dumped a couple of loads and noticed the exhaust stack was twisted off. I asked about it and they said the last idiot that was playing with it, rolled the dumper and was fired. I promptly got out.

Kind of cool that you can roll one and the cab stays upright.

I know his favorite CR4 member was kind of following him around and did post on the deleted thread, not sure if it was him or not, but James has readily declared his lack of fondness for this fellow.

It's okay to be out at times. I have had couple of resurrections before my pseudoname became gutmonarch. People no matter how they are pressured and oppressed by others, still comes back to their own unique settlement. However, I missed that guy Lyn.
