How many forums have you been barred from? I ask this because I think its starting to get disheartening/miserable...So I’d rather laugh then wallow in the mire of self-pity for once...OK, so lets see if I can recall them all...
1. Anorexics.net- Basically a pro-anorexic community, with a bunch of ‘elitist’ ‘girls’ who think they ‘know everything’ I post something disagreeing with one of the mods, and I’m banned shortly thereafter.
2. LB(Lunch Box)- Another Pro-anorexia forum, banned from here for posting a thread outside of the forum onto another forum. My faux pas...
3. PS(Perfected Souls)- The owner of this webpage is a bitch, and downright foul...Was banned due to disagreements with her...
4. KR(Kitty Radio) - I was banned from this form for being uncivilized and unintelligent...btw, this is or was I should say, a Courtney Love fan forum...enough said...
5. Sanatorium Forums- Another Pro-anorexia community, banned from this one because word got out that I was dim-witted and un-fashionable...
6. NFC (Nirvana Fan Club)- Banned from here because I was seen as a ‘eccentric bitch who needed professional assistance.’
7. Sweet Addie (Elliott Smith Forum)- Was banned from here because:
“"You obviously have some issues which need and deserve attention, however this is not the place. We cannot force you to get help, but we can prevent you from using this forum to further worsen your condition. I'm sorry it had to come to this."
-Jacobs (Mod of Sweet Addie: The Elliott Smith Forum)...” (I’m back here again as it was only a 6 month ban, ha maybe I’m a glutton for punishment...)
8. Broken- Yet another Pro-anorexia community, banned from here because:
“On 2/21/07, The Broken Board <broken@brokensanity.org> wrote:
We have recently received complaints from members regarding harassment
through private messengers. I wanted to give you a chance on the forum,
but knowing your history with forums, and following the recent complaints,
it's seeming apparent that others past statements may have been true. I
cannot risk our members safety and comfort ability in having you on our
board.

The exact same day I wrote them back with:
“Dear Tanya,
I've not been 'harassing' members through IM's I've been conversing with them. They are mistaken in there assumptions of me, I've done nothing but try to get to know the people that I've been talking with online. May I ask what exactly they are complaining about so that I can do something to try and remedy this? I'm not quiet shire what to say and am hurt by these accusations that have been made about me. I'd like to inform you that I suffer from a debilitating disorder called asperser’s syndrome. Its a pervasive developmental disorder on the autistic spectrum. Let me clarify. Taken from the OASIS web page in the article " What Is Asperser Syndrome?" It states: "By definition, those with AS have a normal IQ and many individuals (although not all), exhibit exceptional skill or talent in a specific area (my area being music and art.) It goes on to say: "accuse of their high degree of functionality and their naiveté, those with AS are often viewed as eccentric or odd and can easily become victims of teasing and bullying." In my case I've been the target of relentless teasing, because of this things that I say sometimes are taken out of context. I'm often viewed as weird and as such have been an outcast a leper among online communities. I sincerely apologies if I've said something to offend anyone or you. I do most humbly
try to weigh my words. It's often difficult for me to judge what it is people want out of me, and all I'm
trying to do is forum lasting online relationships that mean something. I don't know what else to say
other then I'm sorry.
-Hannah”
There may be a few more that I’m not remembering, but those are the one’s I can think off the top of my head...so what forums have you been banned from and why? Discuss...
