Ginx snewx Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Just slightly. I guess if you can't beat 'em have 'em suspended or banned outright. Chickensh*t, that's what I call it. BTW, if I suddenly stop posting here I've either been assassinated or I've gone back to AK. For the record I won't be heading back there until April or May so....... PM me your cell.

ski MRG Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What's funny is when you said like a child, I knew exactly what you mean't. The joy a child experiences in a snowy scene. Obviously some do not get it at all. It's so stupid. Totally spur of the moment comment/observation. I have a 6yo here and I love getting to see her all psyched for snow. I truly thought their excitement made them seem more human. I was wrong. If I wanted to taunt/troll them I would have told them they were cooked and that the MA is a sorry place to live if you like snow and cold. That wasn't my intent at all.

mahk_webstah Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Lol. I was waiting for my daughter to get ready to go skiing and I checked out their thread to see what they were expecting (I like Wes, Usedtobe, and I'll often venture into their thread when a storm is bearing down on us just to see what he has to say). They were all so excited about seeing some snow I thought I'd cheer them on. Evidently, Randy and a few others have the ability to read the minds of others. Even though my words were completely innocuous they were able to see right through that smokescreen and ferret the real truth. If I wanted to taunt them it wouldn't be with "Good luck guys!!! Hope you get buried!!!" However, Ullr saw the injustice and rewarded them with zilch. Never fook with Ullr. Praise be he dat ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents in Staunton, VA had 8-10" from yesterday and they just said a lot of it has melted. Such is the way with snow down there, even in the mountains.

I was browsing their board as well, and as I have stated earlier in the thread, the reaction to everyone outside that region was totally absurd. Your comments were innocuous...there was no reason to ban you, and Phineas, and several others were running around breaking every single rule (I didn't post, because I've asked questions and been accused of trying to steal "their" snow) and nothing was done about that. In any case, I enjoy reading your guy's forum...you have a lot of very knowledgable posters, lots of funny posters, and also some awesome weenies...the christmas blowup from the one guy was absolutely the funnies thing I have ever sen on here!! Enjoy for the most part the philly and NYC sub forum as well...the MA one, I don't venture in there at all for stated reasons..the double standard in forum rules, the extreme thin skins they have if they aren't getting nailed by a 2 foot mega bomb... Just my advice, don't leave the forum...it's far too much of a good time, and good resource for any weather enthusiast to just give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new day though. Hopefully we pull in some snow in the next week somehow. It's cool Brian. I have no bone to pick with you. However, as other posters have pointed out, I did nothing wrong. This was a targeted strike using the moderating system to push forward an agenda of personal vendetta. A member that is suspended should have the right to face their accusers and at the very least if staff sees fit to suspend a poster they should send a PM to explain the rationale behind the suspension. This anonymous death squad system should be left to third world dictatorships. My OT ban still stands and until that is lifted I will have to think seriously about donating money to the cause again since that seems to be the only form of protest available. There should be some way for a member to contest such actions. Justice is not being applied even handedly here at Amwx. I feel Amwx is a great resource and certainly a noble endeavour but these antics are bringing it down as many others have pointed out. Think Snow.

powderfreak Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Since this is the bantyer thread and earlier it was discussed. My 2 day suspension for "trolling" in the MA sub forum was a huge crock of sh*t. I was wishing them good luck plain and simple. Anyone is free to go look at my posts for themselves. Total BS. That is pretty BS... I don't like to get into the board politics stuff, but that's pretty incredible that you got suspended from posting for something like that. There must be some uber-sensative posters down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Pete we all BS in these threads...a good and healthy back and forth. But like Brian said...as much as you say you're joking...it probably doesn't come off that way when you talk about how there snow will vaporize in a day or the fact that the storm will come north and screw them like it always does. Even when you joke about the brown ground and us "easterners," sometimes it's like enough already..we get it. I know you are joking, but some can take it the wrong way.

codfishsnowman Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 wow plus 7 at bdl through 19th...yesterday felt cold but it was still plus two above normal for the day and that was the cold snap...mind boggling! i was not all that convinced that this month was gonna be so warm as I thought somehow we would squeeze a bit of winter out but there seems to be no doubt now we are onto a truly epic met winter. I was never convinced of much snow but I thought we might get a week or so of pretty cold weather. from southern ct to mid atlantic over the past couple years depending on the season there has been staggering snowfall yet the best most of sne could manage even last year was just a record January. I wonder when our 200 to 300 pct above normal snow season is coming?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want the wx side to be the forum for this so if anyone wants a public discussion on it I'd suggest to take it to OT. It's really frustrating to repeatedly hear admins and mods from our region talk about not seeing the posts in question. Why are you still focusing on Pete when you have people from outside this region telling you it was totally BS? You are talking about whether Pete's comments may have been misconstrued. Well how about the 10 comments from one of the admins buddies that in no way at all could be misconstrued? Even in non storm mode they were probably suspend worthy, in storm mode there's supposedly no doubt. I felt this way long before I had any idea about Pete being suspended. That only furthers the point, if you're friends with some of the higher admins anything goes. If your Pete or anyone else forget about it. And worse our regions admins/mods don't want to confront what goes on down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to break out the donations by subforum. That'd interest me. I think our representation is probably similar to the state of Rhode Island on a California'esque donation budget.

Maybe you can get me reinstated. While this sounds like a good idea in theory, we all know how this story will end. It will start out o.k., followed by the "skimarge" is this and all of his buddies are that, with the whole thing eventually disintegrating into another regional war. Last week, prior to the VA storm, I gave a few harmless congratulatory posts that were deleted within 30 seconds of them being posted. Others were doing the same type of posting, but I suppose my state of origin did not give me the right to have my say within a MA forum. EDIT: On topic, 33F and mostly sunny.
