I get what you are saying, wolf But I simply can't say anything on that board without getting reprimanded. Apparently opinions aren't valid. "But Ed, its not what you said, ITS HOW YOU SAID IT!' Who the hell do they think they are, talking to me like that? I'm not some idiot kid, I was actually born mature so technically you could say that I'm Frank's age I don't have the patience for that crap. Screw the millennials, if they are pissed off by my opinion then too bad. Besides, if you're not pissing off the A**hole*, you are an a*****e, that's what my friend used to say. But thanks I don`t have the nerves for that today !!
We know your point of view, leave at that.
Maybe you can write a PM to the Mods over at the SKMB. They are understanding people !!
Complaining about SMKB Mods or Postings from the SKMB stops here!!
Right now !!

Scotland defeated by England, at home. Horrible performance. Had a chance at a try and went for the penalty, ridiculous. Sack the manager. Now!

I officially announce my retirement from the Stephen King forum everyone, so I won't be posting over there anymore. I much prefer playground, I don't get insulted by moderators who feel in control with the power they have. Thanks to Frank for setting up an alternative. I'll still be posting on playground.
Thanks Everyone.
Ed. So - ya wanna be insulted, eh?
Here you go!
hehehe (just kiddin')

But thanks I think you forget that some people like your postings. I'd reconsider if I were you. If I let what people said about me bother me I'd live in some rabbit hole. Sticking around is a win. Although nobody ever listens, I do give really freakin' good advise.

I would have to agree with Dio here
Believe it or not I felt the same way as you when I first started posting there at SKMB - quite a few times I was sent a warning and they sort of vaguely threatened that I could lose my posting privileges. This went on for quite a while and I also felt that maybe I was getting singled out, but that was not the case.
Maybe just take a second to think before posting - I know that sounds ridiculous but it really helps. And if you ever get the feeling that maybe something is "on the edge" and could possibly cause trouble then you are probably right, so go with your instincts; but anyway - that is your decision whether you go back or not.
I find that Tuesday through Thursday here it gets a little bit quiet so you might get bored.
Good luck!
p.s. Braveheart was on TV again and I thought of you

Although nobody ever listens, I do give really freakin' good advise. You might have convinced me Dio. I guess if you think of it that way. Wise words from Dio, follow his lead Ed, himself and Marsha can spar on a regular basis but it's all good natured and nobody feels slighted. It's all about how you phrase things, as neesy says, take a moment before you post, if it comes across as being a tad "IN YOUR FACE" just edit it, you're fully entitled to have your opinion and express it but just be wary that it doesn't come across as you trying to force it on others. At the end of the day we're all on the same team, you're part of that team, stick around.

I do get what Neesy and DioBolic are saying and in your case they do have some wise advice. In my case it was a totally different scenerio. I left the SKMB about a year ago. I do miss many of the Members, in general they are wonderful people. But I have no regrets and doubt I will return. Funny thing is last Fall was considering going back. But I went on the Board around the time of my birthday and one comment on my Birthday wishes finished me for good. I just don't have time or patience for comments like that. In all fairness, the comment was deleted a few days later.

I'm sorry to hear about this - glad that they deleted the comment. I cannot believe people would post something rude on a Birthday thread!
(Hope it wasn't me - I didn't call you "old" or anything did I?) Just kidding.
It's funny how some members can clash with each other [it has happened to me]
It's hard to see emotions behind a post - so much of our face to face communication is nonverbal (body language, facial expressions etc.)
People even give off smells when stressed - I've seen it more than once in my life. It's like the old saying "You can smell the fear" (I'm sure Stephen King has used this in his writing more than once).
{That must be like the old commercial about 'stress sweat'}
Well - think I am getting off topic but it's good to see you here; SKMB is only open for another 3 or 4 months - I remember it being a place I went to for solace at one time in my life. a200 It's winding down and I guess that is inevitable

NEESY I was very thankful when Frank opened this MB. He, you and the other moderators do a great job (and we still have our self esteem if you have reprimanded any of us). What you all do is much appreciated. Oh, one more thing, Neesy, the comment on the birthday wishes was not made by a Member.

I'm sorry that some of my friends here, and/or on the SKMB, have had bad experiences on social media anywhere. I do sympathize, I've had plenty of my own. But let's get on a lighter, happier subject, shall we?
I predict that when the SKMB does finally close, we will have a wonderful invasion of all our friends from over there! And it's gonna be GREAT!

(NOT submitted for your approval or disapproval. So shut it edwardjohn !)
Random Fact:
I should have just as many Gold Medals as Mark Spitz and Michael Phelps combined, BUT.....the Olympic Committee keeps on insisting that alcohol and tobacco are not recognized sports equipment.....(dammit.)
(sigh).....at least I got them to admit that they are basic food groups and necessary nutrients. ....a long with caffeine!
Get your RDA's people! ( it'll make a gunslinger out of ya. )

Has anyone tried a 4D movie theatre? I wasn't prepared for that experience. We didn't have time to read the sign in front of the theatre because we were late enough already. The chair started moving and it scared the hell outta me. The flashing lights, smells and smoke were so distracting. I could hardly pay attention to the film, which happened to be Birds of Prey. I won't be doing that again. The ticket was also quite expensive, which was another thing I didn't like. I know people with allergies and epilepsy who wouldn't be able to tolerate an experience like that.
