OK, so I registered a hotmail account so that I could register a new name, which frankly shows how silly this whole "blocking" or "banning" business is. We are aware how many people have several names including one they hide behind to be nasty on a regular basis.
I had to make a few comments to those who were misquoting or misinterpreting a few of my posts. I do not plan to continue with this screen name. I'm curiously waiting for someone at Fodors to explain why I was banned.

Glad to see you back!
You should check the Oregon page of TA if you want to see someone with more than one screen name. There is a poster there that comes up with all sorts of other names and then converses with herself, lol!
So even with a new name, at least you are back

Man oh man, you just can't stay away from here for a couple hours. So much happens.
SHOUTING at the top of my lungs, FREE PATRICK!
Patrick has been so helpful to many on this board. I always find his comments to be on target and pertinent.
Hoping this "temporary" ban is some sort of mistake.

FREE PATRICK!!
He is always so informative and helpful to anyone who asks. I look forward to reading any of his posts!
I belong to a couple of other travel related BBS's and IF someone steps out of line they are first given a public message telling them to cease and desist IN THE THREAD they are misusing and if they don't, THEN they are temporarily banned and if they *misbehave* again..then it's a permanent banning. Fodors should follow suit. LONG LIVE PATRICK UNDER ANY NAME HE POSTS WITH

No word from Fodors yet on why I was banned, but still this morning it tells me that my Patrick name has been blocked and to see the guidlines. But the silliness continues since a banned poster is allowed to register under a new name. Now I understand how easily all those really nasty posters register several names just to use for rude posts.

Which FREE PATRICK post to respond to is a problem!! But, BaNNED PATRICK, it is good to see you return. If anyone can "know" a poster on a forum, just by reading his or her postings, I must say I feel most of the people on the board do indeed (know you that is). Your humor is enjoyable, your knowledge of travel sites and restaurants, and hotels superb, your stalwartness amazing, and we do enjoy your postings. Don't Leave!!

If they want to ban someone, ban the trollers & advertisers. Certainly Patrick & I have had our differences, as have many of us have, over time. However, the exchange of differing opinions & ideas (hopefully pertaining to travel) is what this board is supposed to be about. Lift the ban, bring Patrick back.
