Sounds like rocket fuel of some sort or another!


Yeah, but I bet you don't get that pleasant 'woosh' like you do from igniting Mitchum Spray...

The Federal government has determined that igniting Mitchum Spray in order to get the wooshing sound may be hazardous to your health and should not be attempted by persons under the age of eighteen. Seek guidance from your pharmacist or the chick named Louise at the Rite Aid prior to purchasing Mitchum Spray. Only you can prevent axillary fires.**

Well...there's always Latin, German, Spanish, and Yiddish (Johnny Carson used Yiddish when he wanted to express strong opinions on his show). The late South Florida talk radio host Neil Rogers www.neilrogers.com inserted consonants into some of the infamous "seven dirty words," and his use of them on the air passed "FCC muster."

Thee ONLY response they deserve consists of two little words, the first of which starts with "F" and the second one with "Y". Then again, their lily-livered feeble minded moderators may not even be able to figure THAT out.


Obviously, this is not unexpected at all. Being so totally elated about being ostracized by a respectable community speaks volumes...

Someone who so overly rejoices about being rejected in some form or another typically does so not because they achieved a goal, but because they are incapable of acceptance.

Jeez…what took so long?

I think this thread being open is evidence one can speak out about over-moderation, or excessive-moderation on other sites, but just barely.

Don't speak out about it on the site threatening censure or you will be banned. I demonstrated that on RP myself by observing and posting a TRA BOD and Pefect violated the safety code and NFPA regs related to an incident at his site.

Frankly, I'm about ready to call horse puckeys on folks that confuse having good manners with political correctness, then beat their chest about never being PC when they just can't function in a social setting without feeling the need to scream and shout to try and get their points across.

My vote is with Rocketflyer and a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I call it "ADD": Attention Deficient Disorder, for their need to call the attention to themselves no matter what. They tend to move from one place to another when they do not get what they want. Worst of all, they brag about what happened to them and bad mouth the other party because they are the victim. I am dealing with one of these cases at work right now and it is not easy... When one knows the rules but do not agree with them then do not play: it distracts others from being productive and only seeds discord.

This post says a lot about what TRF is really all about.

I can understand why GH started this thread and went off about the banning on TRF. I’ve seen it happen many times in the past, when someone is banned from a forum they vent about it on another forum.

What I can’t understand is what would make this self appointed “super moderator”, rangerstl, come to this forum to continue the abuse. Well actually I can understand why it was done, it was done so that this self appointed “super moderator” could continue the “fun” he was having harassing GH. I bet it made for some great (tee hee hee) PM’s yesterday afternoon.

This type of God-erator behavior is what has defined TRF for a very long time. It’s not every moderator there who does this kind of thing, but those who do, do it with the approval of the owner, and that’s the way it’s always been on that forum. It takes a special brand of bully/coward to harass and ban someone on one forum, knowing that they have absolutely no recourse, and then follow them to another forum to continue the abuse.

What I still can’t understand are the people who frequent that forum, knowing that some of those who oversee it do this type of thing just for fun. I stopped visiting and participating on that forum a long time ago because I did not like this type of behavior and with the change of ownership nothing has changed.

I no longer purchase from any vendor who makes TRF their home forum. I have stopped making purchases from a number of vendors, both online and at launches, because they make that forum their home base. I guess they figure there are more users there so the potential for making money is better there. How the forum management treats members I guess isn’t a factor in that decision. However it certainly should be.

GH,

I have you beat by 18 months!!! I got bannned for posting in the off-topic area ... prob is that I see a lot I mean A LOT of problems in our society and it is VERY VERY VERY difficult of me to refrain from posting about it. I have given up and focus ONLY on the protection of myself anf my immediate family. If and when America goes to hell in a hand basket, I am NOT going with it!

At the same time, these boards aren't political blogs or forums, so I have had to accept the fact that people just don't want to goto a rocket site and read pro/con Obama posts!

So don't feel bad about being banned from TRF; you got to someone, they took it personally (probably because it was true), and they complained/took action.

Look, a lot of rocket people have egos; some artificially inflated, some warrented. Its a very hard community to establish yourself in. There are people on here who feel that because they fly a K motor they are Robert Goddard [sic] yet if you sat them down at a table and had them derive the differential equations of motion for rocket flight, they are ignorant and incapable... like I said, they are MANY 'experts' in our hobby but really only a handful of people who have any REAL clue of what its all about... this is human nature.

Don't feel bad, just take it as a badge of honor.

Look at Michael Savage; hate him or love him, he was banned from the Island nation of Britain because of a 'center-conservative' radio talk show. He has never stated or been proven to demand the killing of any human on planet Earth, yet Britain placed him on the VERY SAME banned list as rapists, terrorists and murderers ... I would LOVE to reach a stature where a NATION paid enough attention on me to ban me!

I know that during the 1920's and 30's, American born blacks were re-patriated back to Africa because they were socialists who were demanding civil rights, or just overall trouble makers. I would love to be banned from America because it would say that the State Dept. is paying attention to me ... maybe for all the wrong reasons, but in the end they are paying attention to me.

With radical Islam, and the Islamic Brotherhood, you might just see yourself banned here in America during your life time!

Jonathan

So when it comes time to post stuff that might get you bannded, post in Latin! LOVE it! LOL,

Hey I will try that by going to bablefish.com, entering post to translate and then place it in Latin!

Ah Johnny Carson ... those were the days!

I remember a show where Johnny made fun of Ed Mease (Sp?) who was a member of the Reagan Administration ... the next day, Ed was fired! Talk about clout and influence that Johnny had!

The current late night shows, in my opinion, STINK! I don't watch them. I would rather watch Normandy on the Military channel, NatGEO, or anything else!

Ah Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, Richard Pryor, and Jewish Comedians (3 Stooges, Marx brothers, left-or-right, they are all funny!). They need to bring 'slick' back to comedy! The crap that passes for comedy today is just garbage. Yep that is my opinion
