atquinn Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Apparently, my deadpan sense of humor is not universally appreciated Anyway, I'm trying to buy something from there, but in between me sending the seller a PM and him trying to reply back, I was suspended. Now he's wondering what the hell's going on. Could some charitable soul with a TGP membership PM the guy my email address? If so, please PM me for details. Thanks. -Austin
MCChris Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 PM sent.If you've never been suspended from there, you're not trying hard enough.

Now tell us what you said.

elduave Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Isn't one of TGP "higher ups" a member here? What-da-dealio, chief?

Now tell us what you said. The thread was here: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthrea...271#post8655271 The initial subject and post were: Which characteristics of life in the 1950's and 60's would you... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- like to see in our present day? Be it values, traditions, or some great products that were used? I had the original post #6, which was Negros knowing their place. Oh, and IBTL :roll -Austin Apparently, my callous racism was not well received by the TGP membership (or at least by the guy who reported me). Ah well, do the crime, do the time. Doh! -Austin
Feynman Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Ha! Bennyboy should write and tell them you're a good bloke.
MCChris Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 You probably would have been fine had you a.) spelled "negroes" correctly (gonna chalk that up to your shitty U of M education) or b.) said "coloreds" or "moon crickets" instead.
sw686blue Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Very funny but did you really think that would pass without a little peepee spanking?

Hey, don't blame U of M; they tried they best the could, but there's only so much they can do with what they are given. Anyway, I got a wife from U of M; the edjumacation stuff was secondary b.) I was thinking darkies, but somehow I think the reaction would have been similar?Anyway, I've learned my lesson. If I had it to do over again I'd go with "no gay pride parades". -Austin

MCChris Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 b.) I was thinking darkies, but somehow I think the reaction would have been similar?I used that term just today, out loud, in a discussion with the African American mail room guy about the LeBron situation.I remain employed, yet you get kicked off The Gear Page. LOL
Brownsound Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I got kicked off the Lespaul Forum for simply arguing a point with the mod. I was even a contributing member! He fancied himself one of dem' der' "Intel-Lectuals". I wasnt mean, disrespectful, or contraversial. He was just an a-hole.I love how the idiot on the Gear Page actually said that in the 50's and 60's there was a lack of hate...lol! I guess he never heard of the Civil Rights Movement. God some people are just too stupid to breath my air....
Stike Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Have you sent the mod who provided the smack down a picture of you?
atquinn Posted July 10, 2010 Author Posted July 10, 2010 Have you sent the mod who provided the smack down a picture of you? When I'm let back in, I'll create a Dave Chappelle avatar for myself, that should head off any future issues. I don't mind getting banned, but I'm kind of pissed off that they erased my post -Austin

Some people seem to have lost the ability to see anything but literalism in writing.
alantig Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Have you sent the mod who provided the smack down a picture of you?It may not have mattered.Years ago, when Tony Kornheiser was still on ESPN, he used to do stuff during the commercial breaks for the folks that listened on the Internet. One of his producers was suspended for being racially insensitive by doing a "black voice" during one of these breaks.Do I need to tell you his ethnicity???Some people are just too stupid to breathe unaided.Alan
Steve Haynie Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Your joke could have worked in a video chat room.
cmatthes Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Careful, Austin. We might just make you a Mod over here.
