Sounds like you’re being avoided.
He doesn’t miss you.

I invite MB members to join me, Elton John & Kiki Dee in singing WWWP a chorus of "Don't Go Breaking Our Hearts".

I couldn't if I tried!

Ah now honey, you're just getting restless...

How did Cuthbert get himself banned? I missed this drama.

adidasss · 09-10-2021, 09:49 PM

He what? I hope it's not one of those "I don't want to post anymore so please help me control myself by banning me" things.

He requested it. I don't think it was a matter of controlling himself though

adidasss · 09-11-2021, 05:55 AM

I don't get it. Why else would anyone ask to be banned?

I'm sure that most often it's to prop up self-control, when "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" so to speak. I remember two cases that were different though:-
i) someone applied for a job that involved "vetting" like they might do for the military, and this person wanted to delete everything to do with MB
ii) what I consider sadder, and more sinister, was a person who was worried about their parents and/or church discovering their online self.

Not saying that any of the above apply to Cuthbert. My guess is that in his case it's out of remorse and self-loathing after posting anti-Biden propaganda

(That's a joke, Cuthbert, if you are still lurking. I'm sorry you have left us, and I won't forget the chats we've had over the years: especially your invention of an Architecture Thread, for which I am very grateful.)

I was a little shocked to see Cuthbert's account disabled as well not to mention Micshazam. I actually banned myself from the writing forum to make a statement about the politics there (It got pretty ugly at the top and I was in the know, then I wasn't). Anyway, I guess people have different reasons.

Anyway, miss you both, guys.
