Etiquette & Manners, Everybody needs them!

I think I was really close. Nothing happened, but I think I really was close to it. I'm very grateful to you, Lindelle. I would never imagine. You made me a big favour.

I'm convinced that we women should get togheter and defeat this. And of course, the men who support us. I've never been this worried and at the same time I'm very relieved I scaped of this.

Let me make this as clear as I possibly can. Sexually abusive, vulgar, obscene or threatining PMs are NOT PERMITTED ever. ANYONE who gets one should copy me immediately with the exact message and the user who sent it. I will deal with them ASAP. Please don't ever think you need to become a lynch mob, or vendetta or handle it yourself. My number one priority is the safety and security of our users. Period.

Should someone want to contact me outside the PM system for a faster response (contrary to popular opinion I don't monitor everything 24 hours a day!) please feel free to do so.  Rob@AustinWineGuy.com or Rob@thecellaraustin.com. both come to the same email box.

Laura is quite correct on all accounts.

Well said, FA!  I'm certain that we all appreciate your very appropriate response/remedy.  Regards,  AP.

Thank you to Lindelle, fo speaking out and for high lighting this difficult yet important matter. Lindelle really is a credit to the forum!

Thankyou Eddie.

I've decided to pm Rob as he suggested.

C'est de mauvaises manières ne pas parler français.

Just read the thread and must say, like many other, that this people are just sick and have serious problems. Luckily I haven't met this kind of procedure. But if I ever will, you can be sure that I won't keep my mouth shut about it.

And you can always count on us, Hilla. 
Welcome to the forum, by the way

What I seriously cannot understand, its not only reincarnation. I have noticed.. also been told by a few of my friends, that postings on here are being erased, and people are being banned. and for what main reason really? Because they post TOO many topics? Postings being erased because they are "useless"Huh?

why do that???

What significance does it have to do it? This entire status system "Newbie, Graf... etc"

It's all just to keep people in line and order...

but that is just my opinion.

But this all stems from other things, I know it does.. Reincarnation is just the tip of the iceburg...

but back to the Postings being erased? why?

because the FA himself deems them useless? why are they useless? don't we as the members of this here forum have a right to know? why because they take up too much space? Why because it doesn't fit with others beliefs and scrutiny, and insulting us?

Why? Why? Why?

just my thoughts, I know this isn't part of the reincarnation discussion but I had to say this...

God Bless!

Above was a posting I wrote in another thread.. But it speaks the same words here...

About the posting deleted...

Depends of what kind of posting is : If its a post saying "Thank you!", "new for me" or stuff like that, those are deleted "By default" to avoid see topics full of this "Empty" post. Different stuff is when  some mod deletes a post of you with info or some respectful opinion about something related to the topic where you re posting. Whats the case here?

About banning...who was banned recently? 0_o

[you]

but back to the Postings being erased? why?

I'm not the FA but you've got two options: Accept the way the forum is run or leave. The FA has his reasons for erasing topics/postings. You're complaining about stuff that is totally normal for a discussion forum. Topics/postings are being erased here if they do not match with European Royalty. Why is this so hard to understand? Topics about Reincarnation, Spirituality and other non related stuff are not desired here.

If I were the FA I would ban you, because you're the one who's disturbing the peace, because you can't accept the rules. No offence, I'm sure you're a really nice person but what you're doing here is ridiculous. That's all I have to say on this subject.

Then WHY have you NOT replied to my email which was sent to you over a moth ago now?

Apparently that's the way they are.

Since the person who commited the harrasement is still here, it seems so
