Well it seems my suspension was only a "weekend suspension" in actuality. but I'd like to think it had more to do with the swell of support from you guys.

I have to say, rarely in life have I ever been so touched by the kindness of (relative) strangers...but you guys really are wonderful and I can't thank you enough for saying such kind things and making me feel so valued.

For those of the more curious ilk, I'd prefer to forget the whole incident, but let's just say I tangled with an extremely narrow-minded person and learned that sometimes you really only want to know people's opinion on travel here. In the future, I think I'll attempt to ignore the ugly side of the boards (well, a guy can *try*)

Thanks again, everyone...it's good to be back in business!

The "will" of the people has prevailed. Once again, Filmwill will be allowed to roam these forums.

Even better, we no longer have to feel sorry for him and can subject him to the same scathing ridicule as others. Simply put, another potential victim. Sweet!

Now, i'm hatching a plot to get Bob thrown off for a weekend. Any ideas?

so they know you are a really good guy after all

thanks fodors for keeping the good and getting rid of the bad

Hey welcome back!

Yes, welcome back filmwil.

I try to avoid the lounge, as it is just soooo tempting to get into the mix!! Fun to READ though...

Glad you are back with us. Stick with the Asia board and you'll be just fine.

Welcome back filmwill. While I have lurked on the Fodors Lounge, I have resisted the temptation to post - I'd end up getting barred for far more than a weekend, I'm sure.

Welcome back! I also avoid the Lounge - like Craig, I know I'd get myself into trouble there!

The lounge is populated by dolts with absurd opinions. This forum by dolts with valuable opinions. I'm proud to be one of the latter.

Don't go into the lounge without adult supervision.

Welcome back Will !!!

Stay away from the "darkside" of the forum.....its much better in here

Aloha!

Hi Will,
Welcome back!

I think you deserve a week at......well you know !!!!!!

Latest report coming soon.

I had to chuckle at Oksena/robert's post. The guy writes in Jabberwocky, but I cannot stop laughing every time he posts something.

Andy, good to know I'm fair game again--I was beginning to worry you all were taking it too easy on me.

Special thanks to Bob for organizing the march and printing all those t-shirts!

Thanks again to rest of you for the kind words. It's good to be back!

I'm curious about the nature of your post that brought about your Eeekend at Bernie's. Can you describe it in general terms? Do not be specific, we don't want you banned again for the same infraction.

The last march organized by Bob was for Bob Novak and George Will. You're in rarified company, Filmwill. You must be a member of the John Birch Society.

<i>The last march organized by Bob was for Bob Novak and George Will.</i>

And his first was for William Jennings Bryan.

They both went to Needham High School.

Don-are you joining us on Saturday?

Filmwill-you're brief respite should bring about an outpouring of cogent commentary.

Don't know nuthin about Saturday except that I'm flying to Annecy (France) for a few days before heading off to Botswana.

You Asia freaks don't know what you're missing.

Another international incident in the making. Once again, Bob has failed in his assigned duties.

Well, filmwill, I don't know you -but I'm glad you're back too. I've never been in to the lounge. I'm sure I'd get into trouble there too.

I just read this thread...welcome back! I went over to the lounge, curious about what might get someone banned. Tough crowd there, I must say.

Okay, you've piqued my curiosity. Your posts are usually polite and witty, so without hearing the other guy (gal's) position, I'm on your side. Can you give us a hint...in code...perhaps using an Asian language...of your transgression?
