Richard is not going to be given a second chance, especially since he still thinks he did nothing wrong. He was officially warned by Fort Worth Mom and basically told her she was wrong, he didn't break any rules, so he wasn't going to listen to her. He had already had a temp ban for disrespecting moderators. So, he had a second chance, and just got worse.
His continued attitude is evidenced on this thread. He thinks the rules don't apply to him and therefore he is not welcome. Period. I will not, under any circumstances, change my mind. He has his own board - he can whine there.
I like Richard, and have no love for husker, but after I read the thread in question, it was obvious that Richard deserved his ban. That YEARS later he still can't see that is staggering .
Thank you Dona. And LL.

Okay, that was an interesting read after not being on for the weekend.
For what it's worth, just based on what I saw in this thread, I agree with Bonny22Pye. If I was in Lawyerlady's shoes, I'd do the Christian thing and give him a second chance.
But I also understand that it's Lawyerlady's board, so it's her call, not mine or anyone else's.
Yeah, somehow I can't believe god is worried about GT.

Richard hates Christianity. He wouldn't want me to do the Christian thing. He thinks basing your governing decisions on faith is wrong. So, there goes that.

I didn't realize you were Christian. What denomination? Having any nice Christmas pageants? We're doing a whole musical based on "JOY" and driving the choir director crazy with the diphthongs.
Just don't get to use the word diphthong often enough.

What's a diphthong? It sounds dirty. But that surpasses our new vocab word of surpass.

Methodist was my last association with a church, but I'm not what you would call a "church goer" anymore. Now I'm more in the "I have the Bible, and what's between God and me is between God and me." denomination.
What's a diphthong? It sounds dirty. But that surpasses our new vocab word of surpass.
A complex speech sound or glide that begins with one vowel and gradually changes to another vowel within the same syllable, as (oi) in boil or (i) in fine.
Like how the "o" and "y" glide together in toy, joy, boy. She wants a short, crisp "JOY!", not a joooyyyyeeee.

Interesting. I'm going to have to remember this.

Ok LL. You are sounding like my J. He has developed quite a passion for language and it's nuances.

So there I was...thinking this thread was on topic and avoiding it like the plague because I didn't want to read a bunch of trans bashing.
I should have known better. Lol
And As soon as Richard "outed himself" as ToC, why he wasn't banned on the spot. Old bans carry over to this board, so I assumed he would be gone within a few minutes.
And to his point, I don't see this as a "new" board. It's a continuation of the original GT because of circumstances beyond Mod control. So it's not new at all. IMHO.

Geez. I banned him as soon as I got here. Just can't please anybody these days!
