It's a small, insignificant forum of <200 members, and envious of the power of this forum's >30K members. It's also not a real forum per se, but more reminiscent of an infomercial, a photo gallery. In fact, only a dozen or so of its members are actually active there. And half of those are the site's sponsors themselves with their links at the top of the portal. The owners of that tiny gathering would like to claim that they "banned me for being rude" (if you read my posts there you will be hard pressed to find any rudeness). But truth be told I stopped using that forum when one day a Black-American friend of mine was visiting. That forum was on my screen and as she walked by it she stopped in her tracks and pointed out that an avatar contained a racial slur and a pic of a Black child. I was embarrassed and ashamed to be using that site and surprised that I had never noticed that before. I guess if I were a Black-American I'd be more attuned to prejudice. That was the last day I logged onto that group. To make matters even worse that avatar belonged an OWNER of that group!
I was banned from that group for my 1st post on here on THIS sub-forum! Simply add up the days between my last post on that forum and the day that I was supposedly "banned" and you will clearly see what I mean. Oh, and check out the racial slur there that I'm talking about, before they remove it.
That's it. Oh just one last thing: I usually have to meet people in person to get them so riled up. I guess I must be getting better with age 
Let's clear the air here right now. You sir, were banned, by ME, from MY forum, for YOUR disrespectful and antagonistic behavior. I have never had to ban anyone before. You are the first and only. My forum is a very peaceful, easy going, family oriented place, and I will always do what I have to do to keep it that way. There are VERY very well respected individuals/keepers/breeders that are a big part of our place, most who will forget in their lifetime more than you will ever THINK you know. Before you were banned, I recieved multiple negative PM's in regards to you. Your constant jabs at keepers with larger collections and insinuations were tiring, and all you accomplished there was to aggravate a bunch of people. That and your constant criticism of others' animals soley based on the fact that they are not 'normals.' Never anything positive to contribute, rarely anything decent to say. Believe me, you being banned was not based on just the fact that you 'were not liked,' as that would be nonsense. It was soley based on your own actions. You keep trying to assault the integrity of my forum, but it means absolutely NOTHING to me, considering the source. Last but certainly not least, the avatar you speak of, belongs to my husband, whos MOTHER is African American, making him half African American himself. The avatar is not intended to be derogatory, it is of comedic nature. Your actions and behavior is what is causing folks to have the reactions they are having towards you. It's as simple as that. You are certainly no victim here. I'm no 'tough guy' either, but I would certainly not mind seeing you in person at a show, as I would have NO problem telling you what I think, in person, should the opportunity arise, though that would just be a waste of my time. I am glad you are portraying how you really are in your videos. I know I would NEVER want any of my animals to end up in your 'care' after what I know now. (Oh wait, that's right, all of my animals would be hideous in your book since they are not 'normals.') That's about all I have left to say on the matter.
