Chinese Apple Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I took a long break from the board -- real life got busy. I see that Speedracer had been banned. I used to really enjoy her posts and her radical feminism. What happened that got her banned? This board seems like a pretty embrasive "free to be you and me" crowd, so I imagine whatever it was must have been very bad. But can't some trespasses be like Suarez biting another player, where you give the red card and they sit out a few months but are allowed back? I don't know her personally or in real life, but just miss her banter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I don't know anything about this controversy, but I'm glad you're back. I enjoy your posts, and this board could use a little more yin to balance the yang! (Shameless borrowing of your metaphor from another thread). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Both Speedracer and Jules have been banned. But the circumstances and reasons for their bans remain shrouded in mystery and locked inside a secret vault. Their presence is definitely missed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I don't know about Speedracer, but Jules is not missed. He went a bit overboard in an area in which he should have stayed in the boat. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I will go on the record as missing them both. It was Jules' posts probably more than anyone else's that made me really interested in this place 6 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I miss Jules & the other broad who inspired this thread. I give this thread until 8 pm till it is nuked from orbit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'll be shocked if it's still here at noon CDT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I am obviously ignorant about a lot of what goes on here. I don't know about the bannings, and when I read the rules in the context of this thread, they're a lot stronger than I would have thought. I miss them both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Agreed, both are missed --- jules could be dick (at times), but a funny one and every board needs one. I just reread the Bennett suing Tweedy song parody thread last month or so -- that was fun read, mostly thanks to Speedracer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 didn't speedracer/sexnap come back at some point after the 1st banning? or was that self-exile? Pretty sure speedracer came back as don draper for a while. Then after the Jules dust-up, she essentially revealed who she was and was promptly banned again. But I could be wrong.

Unless the opportunity for us to get along is arbitrarily taken away from us. Good to have you back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I know SpeedRacer was basically taunting the moderators and got bounced after being on double secret probation. I was not aware that Jules got bounced. I believe we are in the end game portion of this boards life. With no activity from the band and several month away from Jeff's solo record, we have no unifying force to keep us involved and interested. The Political stuff should have been quashed from the outset. All it served to do was cause strident opinions and hard feelings. This board has become a real repository of butthurt lately, and I don't see things changing for the better anytime soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I truly miss Jules. I also miss hemorrhoids, the clap, and that obnoxious British guy on American Idol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
