Quittintime: TAVERN OUTCASTS CHECK IN:

PlumbBill

I am probably the reason that I you got some emails about you coming back to the Tavern.

I had a new ID of PlumbJoe for a couple of days before I ejected myself.

More below

--------------------

I got an email from Bobby via CT.

And one earlier from Joe (Hasbeen) asking about what was going on.

I just sent both of them emails pointing them here.

---------------------

Unlike most of you slow pokes I was locked out the week before the election.

After I found out that I was baned and that it was not system problems and that they would not say why I signed back up as PlumberJoe.

I had a specific technical question about electrical power meters that I though maybe Dave Richardson might be able to answer. And I wanted to get it within a couple of days for someone that I was trying to help in another forum.

And I went into the Tavern to try and see if there was some talk about why I had been baned.

But I did not see anything. Also threads that I had been reading and/or participating in both in and out of the tavern had 100's or "new" messages in them. So to keep up I would have to go back read all of those. And no way to find waiting messages to "me".

And not know if I had been baned because someone did not like my punctuation or what? And thus the "new me" could easily be banned for same or different "error" and not have any reason why.

I just got sick to my stomach.

I already realized that I did not want to hang around anymore and was waiting for a reply to my question from Dave.

Then another user started stalking me.

And Dave had not responded so the Sunday before the election I posted a Goodbye messages one in breaktime and one outside. The just said that Bill Hartmann would no longer be particpating in the forums.

In SEPARATE messages I posted strong complaints about the treatment (not sending an email that I had been baned, but instead using an system error message to "try again") and the person stalking me.

I could not find any way to delete an account, but I deleted the email address associated with that account and changed the password to a "random" one that I would not remember and deleted all of the cookies. So I have no idea if that account got banned or any responses.

However, the next day Prospero had a meltdown when they tried to change some software and all of the forums was screwed up.

I was able to enter Breaktime as a Guest, read only. And of course the not able to see the Tavern.

But my goodbye had been deleted.
