Well I have met and know lcuy and I can say without reservation that she is the most thoughtful, kind and generous person you will ever want to know. We are all aware of that from her onscreen persona.

It troubles me that the editors who "control" our very existence on this forum would "evict" such a valuable and loved member without so much as a warning for a first offense.

Are no mistakes or faux pas allowed?

Does lcuy's thousands,literally thousands of responses of advice and help mean nothing to you or Fordors'?

Are all of our passionate responses to the obvious troll's sick thoughts to be scrutinized?

I ask that the editors take into account the context and content of a thread and equally that of the contributors before just randomly exercising your banning options.

As an employer I would not want to loose someone of lcuy's caliber and for the life of me I can't figure out why Fodor's would want to even chance loosing her as a member.

I fear you may end up with no one to ban in the future if this practice is not modified soon.

Me Ke Aloha Pumehana Lucy!

OMG - I just saw this for the first time.
Lcuy banned???

But she's answered some of my India questions so well! There are several of you who's India knowledge and experience is very valuable and she's one of them.

Lcuy - if you see this - I hope you're back soon.

I am amazed! Mainly because I could name 2/3 posters who are genuinely obnoxious posting sexist or racist opinions and nothing seems to happen!

Was she banned because she asked posters to give appropriate titles to threads in which Olympics results are discussed?

Lcuy banned...give me a break. And what exactly did she say to get banned?
And I totally agree with Filmwil. With all of the racist, sexist, anti-American venon that is spewed in various forums...especially the European forum...the editor's have plenty that they could be banning.
It's good that I have many of the Asia forum member's e-mail addresses..especially the ones who write about Thailand...just in case the lot of us gets banned, we'll still remain in contact. Life goes on after Fodors. Now, let me e-mail Lcuy to see what this is all about.
Happy Travels!

Maybe the Fodor's Editors would be willing to share why lcuy was banned so that in the future we have something to go by. Seems ridiculous though with all of the other "stuff" going around on various forums that is far worse than what we see here on the Asia forum.

Bob, was she banned for something posted here or in the Lounge?

God knows I need to stay away from the Lounge (and the scourge of the Earth that inhabit it.)

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!

I am free!!

I just went to the registration page and typed my name and password...and I'm in again!

I really think (and hope) that it was a glitch with the system, as my only argument recently was to correct someone on a parking charge, then found myself reading the words:

"You have been banned."

I wrote in to the editors and they said I'd been banned for comments posted under another screen name...???

It was really, really painful, especially since my e-mail address is "fodoraddict at xxx.com"

So I'm back, and I am really grateful to all of you for your support. I'm bringing double mac nuts to the next GTG!!

Love and aloha to all of you,

lcuy aka Lucy

Lcuy was banned? (I've been away - just back) Lcuy is so level-headed and kind, I can't imagine what she could have written that would get her banned.
