What's a girl got to do to get banned around here?

Jodi

[janice]

I have a hunch that you have been here before, under a different name, and that you have been banned.  Why else would someone ask that question out of the blue? 

[athykay]

Yup, I'd keep an eye out on *that* newby.

Who do you think I am?

Jodi

[janice]

It's obvious that you two know each other!

It's obvious that you two know each other!

No kidding...keep an eye on both of them.

Hi Janice.  Don't worry, I've never been banned.  I really am new here.  Wandered over from an alternative universe.    Seems like a nice place you've got!

That's a good question, Jodi.  This is a very civilized place.  For example, there's a thread going on homosexuality right now, and folks are discussing their opinions politely.  Not even any smoke, let alone flames.   

Kind of refreshing!

[Jack Appleseed]

How unusual.

Bob... they (we) are quite harmless.  We've just been cooped up in a tiny pen for too long and are feeling frisky now that we're out in this lovely green paddock.

We may be a little high strung (nice piano pun, as well), but we are rule-abiding and civil people.  Plus we're all old enough that we can't horse around for too much longer without becoming breathless and pulling a muscle or two.  That will calm us down.

This is the "Anything but piano" forum, right?   

[ehpianist]

You may have noticed a stream of newbies appear recently(myself included).  No need to fret.  We have migrated from an alternate place where some people were not very nice.  That is probably why the moderator question came up inthe first place, no need to worry.

This forum is a breath of fresh air for all of us. Everyone is so mature!

You know when I said in my introduction that I wouldn't post much?

I lied!   I just can't shut up, man! 

I like the black decorations you all have here.  Black is very slimming!

That again back up my anarchy theory that it's the presence of arbitrary law and power control that cause dishonesty, oppression and criminality while when people outmanage themselves these things don't happen
I DO believe that if this forum were moderated with lot of rules to follow and someone to control us using his/her power our discussions would have been far less polite and friendly

I see that there have been more moves than I first thought!!! How long until all the sock puppets start showing up too??? 

[VancouverPiano]

jgoo...

Hope the sockpuppets dont EVER come on over.....
I have been surfing around this forum and find the overall level of knowledge to be great and the tone to be positive! (Nice change sometimes)
Well, excuse me while I have another good look around.
I am very impressed by what I see so far!

I'm just on my way for the self guided tour myself.
