In light of my recent release from chokey following an outpouring of good will from my fellow boards punters (and also an outpouring of joy and relief from my detractors at being banged up in the first instance) I would like to humbly request that I be allowed back in to a number of fora that I have inadvertantly allowed myself to be banned from over the course of time.

I'm thinking specifically of the motors forum which was a favourite haunt, but there may be one or two others I can't remember.

If any mods for these fora feel like joining in the spirit of general reprieve it would be much appreciated.

And finally a Stranglers quote for all you New Wave fans - Let out all the prisoners, 'cos that's a jubilee

Its good to be back

Aha, ok will do. One of these days I'll get the hang of how this place works.

At least partially thanks to your good self. Cheers!

Not really, the "free magpie" thing was irritating me and I have to say the temptation to extend the ban beyond my original decision (that I'd let you out when an AH mod said you were unbanned from AH) was there, but it would hardly have been fair to keep you banned because other people were irritating me in your name.

I wouldn't compare your recent freedom to Nelson Mandela's 27 year imprisonment. I would go further and proclaim yourself as the return of Jesus Himself.

More a template of the past. The "Free XXX" campaigns used to really dog boards before the Prison forum. Now with the Prison forum the site-banned can either make a case for their release, or else remind everyone what knobs they are, as the case may be.

Finally, you get the point.

One question though, how can Jesus have Jesus inside? Is this one of these theological paradoxes that I know you all love to debate long into the night?

Exactly how many angels can you fit on the head of a needle?

In Nomine Patri et Filii et Spiritu Sanctu. Amen.

Yes, it's a theological paradox. Given that the Holy Trinity is both comprised of, and is separately Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit, it's say to say that Jesus has Jesus Inside

I was thinking the garden of eden - i'll be sitting up in the orchard, eating those apples, you the angry god farmer shouting at me from below, telling me you'll tan my hide if you ever catch me, and shaking your fist in anger....

...i miss my childhood.

P*ssed off level.... rising.

Firstly, can the mods PLEASE be serious or not about bans. Its hard to understand who's joking and who's not (apart from OscarBravo).

Secondly did everyone just forget I am reviewing this? Now, he's been unbanned by the people who banned him and I'm unlikely to over turn that but reading through these posts, some are good and funny and some are more then enough for me to get the ban hammer out.

I'm also seeing a lot (and I mean A LOT) of comments from a variety of moderators saying things like "This guy wastes my time more then anyone", "Timesink" and "more trouble then the rest of the forum combined". Nuking one person to save that amount of mod time is very attractive to me.

Magpie any chance you could stop being an attention whore and just get on with using Boards for the purposes the various forums are here for? Its not all about you, I'm sure that comes as a shock but there are another 10k people a day here. What if they all were as arrogant and highhanded as you can be?

Oh and "FREE XYZ" campaigns? Really hack me off, which is unlikely to result in an outcome that is desired by them.

DeV.
ps: come back with some kinda "I forgive you my child" one liner and get a real demonstration of wrath...

I too, was joking, I was hoping the ":v:" would substitute for a j/k. Looking through the access list though, magpie has already been category banned at least once from FS.
