HELP!!` I'm being held prisoner.

IIf anyone sees this message, please notify the folks at the Lounge that IRA is being held incommunicado at an undisclosed location.

He has been suspended and they won't say why.

Goodbye dear friends.

LOL! Love your message!

I'll join those flagging this thread for the editors/moderators.

I have reason to visit your town so if you need supplies, etc. just let me know.

The Fodors genie probably thought you were a troll because you clicked submit too many times in a row.

(AFAIK it automatically zaps a screen name that tries to start too many threads one right after the other -- but one would think it would be smart enough to figure out if those threads are in the Lounge one can't be a troll??? )

Contact the eds -- they'll set you free . . .

ira~~ Do get in touch with the editors pronto. Ask for them to reinstate you. They didn't mean to kick you out of the forum.

I saw the real Ira posting on Cruise Critic yesterday - he and his lady wife are traveling.

What you need is a group of stealthy people to dress in black and come to your rescue!


No problem.

I'll lend them some clothes.

We can sympathize quite a bit as long as you don't say you are in a jail in central Asia and need funds to post bail. Happened to my niece once. Oh, wait, never mind. That was a scam from Liberia or somewhere.

Ira - you must return. We need you.

Or soon the Lounge will have no posters at all. (It's bad enough they are all slow for the summer.)

Hi all,

Thanx for you encouragement.

I have written the Moderators.

I also sacrificed a lamb, in its first year and without blemish.

Nothing.

Ira is one good reason Fodor's show shutter the Lounge - first it drains their time monitoring the often irreverent tones found there but more importantly it has caused valuable Fodorites like Ira who for years gave short and sage European travel advice but after being sucked into the Lounge and its adolescent maturity level at times he rarely gives travel advice anymore, at least on the Europe forum and that is a loss to all and especially to Fodor's and there are many others who if not consumed by the lounge would be contributing wisdom to the travel forums not tradin insults and arguing like kids on the Lounge.

CLOSE THE LOUNGE - EVERYONE WILL BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT OUT

Yes Lounge Rats there is life after the Lounge, believe me!
