Temporary post…some history2

ME TO BOB, EARLY ON THE 28TH.

why am I being blocked from the buzz site? (7)
Or is it down?

I do know you were searching my profile, which hints that you could be looking for an IP. That happened before, when you blocked me from reading ROD. But right now I have no idea. Apparently I am blocked from reading ROD, too.

Speaking of which, I never knew why you blocked me from ROD initially a while back (or unblocked me, for that matter.)

I am not your enemy. I run the site well and it’s an active site. If you have issues, you should speak directly to me, as someone you are partnered with and, presumably, respect. Actions out of nowhere with no explanation just look arbitrary. I never thought of you as the kind of person who would just up and do something like that without communication.

ME MUCH LATER ON THE 28TH AFTER BEING BLOCKED ALL DAY AT 2 SITES:

Come on man……if you have an issue just raise it, whatever it is, person to person. You don’t have to act like a dick and then expect me to guess what it’s about. That’s what ex-wives do. -:) Heck I never figured out why you blocked me from ROD the first time.

ME TO X

I am not asking you to do anything, like intercede, but I am just trying to find stuff out.

Why did Bob/PHX block me from both ROD and the buzz site? Do you know? I have no idea, myself. He didn’t say anything.

For that matter, for all I know the buzz is down. Either way I get no communication, or I would not have taken the step of turning to you.

I don’t get why he doesn’t just simply communicate. It’s easy and far less trouble in the end.

X TO ME:

I have no idea what’s going on with you two, and he’s being kind of tight-lipped about it. He claimed he did nothing to obstruct your view of the site, and was pissed at the accusation.

ME TO X

I’m blocked from both ROD *and* the buzz.

What else was I supposed to think? I mean who else can do that?

But I keep saying I will let it go with you. Sry to drag you in…honestly.

BOB TO ME VERY LATE ON THE 28TH.

I have been out of town without access to my email and I come home to see this? You calling me a dick?

Guess what.. I was looking at your IP to compare to a new member from your area to see if it was you (not that I cared)

I didnt do jack shit to you.. Your own mods could check to see if you were banned or not but you elected to call me a dick.

Nice move.

ME TO BOB

I am nevertheless blocked from 2 sites, with only one conclusion to draw. You would do the same and in fact it would be strange if you didn’t draw that conclusion if you were in my position. No mod on the board has the power to ban anyone, remember? There is no ban function for the mods to use. And of course a ban and a block are not the same thing.

I never even figured out why I was blocked from ROD a while back, let alone unblocked.
.
And yes, blocking someone without an explanation or raising issues if you have them? You should be more direct and open. If you have issues, raise and settle them. There’s nothing wrong with directness and honesty–in fact it’s always the best way.

When it comes to having a board, I only ever wanted to act for the good of a particular, valuable, longstanding community.

You have the power to fix this…we both know that. Whatever issues you have, raise them, and trust me to be reasonable about them.

ME TO BOB, FOLLOW-UP

Oh, and…Bob. I would never create a fake handle to join a site. So even if you did check for that, doing that is a waste of time.

X TO ME (SINCE I COULDN’T SEE THE SITE I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW IT WAS TAKEN DOWN)

Your site is apparently gone now. A 404 error means it’s not even on the server anymore and the domain name is gone.

ME TO X

He must have just not wanted to have 2 sites.

Shrug.
