I read, but post maybe once in a great great while. I, too, have been exchanging emails with jon, and as of the last one, had said he still had no idea why. Again, I have no reason to doubt Doobie, so I'm going to go on the premise that jon now knows why. If he wants to fill me in, fine. Shiva said it best several pages ago. I got on Jon's bad side when I first started posting, but since then, we've come to an unspoken agreement to agree to disagree. But, we did have a nice conversation about socks. Jonvn's posts will be missed by this poster, but not the ones that make chills run up and down my spine.

The self professed political pundits are resorting to these same tactics, if not worse, and are making good money and, apparently, good ratings for doing so. Cape Cod Joe, Beaumandy, Jonvn all are intelligent people who let their volume overshadow their words. So, if that is the way we see debating today it is no surprise we see it here in LP. Is it cause for being banned from a discussion board? That isn't for me to say since I don't run said board.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<So what is the reason?>> That is really none of our business and I am very pleased the Doobie is handling it as he is. I've enjoyed jonvn but at the same time recognized that he was without a doubt the most abrasive poster on LP. Did I ever want him banned? No, I would prefer he was still here. But I trust that Doobie had reasons for doing what he did. And whether I would think those reasons are good or bad, I SUPPORT HIM 100% in not revealing them publicly.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer I have stayed out of this thread on purpose, but first off, Jonvn and I have butted heads more than once, and believe it or not, actually agreed more than once. I wish him well! Disagreements are fine, but there never was a "personal" angle to it, at least from my end. Earlier today, I was talking to someone from a major News Organization (aka MSM), and was asked about online "Disney" people I respect. One of the first persons was DlandDug (using his "real" name), somebody that has kept track of Disneyland History and just is a "good" guy in general, along with the rest of his family. I also mentioned Doobie, alas, he moved to the "east" coast, but it was always a pleasure to meet him and his beautiful wife at the parks when he lived in the OC area. I have NO knowledge of what happened, but I think the best comment was "it is not my sandbox". And thank you to Doobie for allowing us to play in YOUR sandbox!

Soon WE will be liberal free. Muah ha ha ha ha

Originally Posted By Darkbeer ^I appreciate the comment BeautysBeast, I really try and not "promote" my "other" thing when I go here to Laughing Place, or my "former" employer MousePlanet. As part of a story that is being worked on, it is "interesting" how the different sites have "loyalty" and many folks don't like "multi" board meets at the park. The largest gatherings are for events like the Gumball Rally and MouseAdventure, where you do find "users" from multiple sites at the same place. This is going O/T, so I will end this post, and if you want more info, please start a new thread!

Can anybody give me some insight to why my friend Jon isnt aloud to speak freely on this board with out persecution? and what was done to him to hurt him so bad?
