Thanks for your help. I never made the connection with member "code" thought I knew something seemed 'off' when I edited my profile. You must be going nuts with ninnies like me....so sorry

Demoted?

All these definitions look pretty appealing:

1. a person who spends some time at another person's home in some social activity, as a visit, dinner, or party.
2. a person who receives the hospitality of a club, a city, or the like.
3. a person who patronizes a hotel, restaurant, etc., for the lodging, food, or entertainment it provides.
4. an often well-known person invited to participate or perform in a regular program, series, etc., as a substitute for a regular member or as a special attraction.

Just consider me #4.

Actually JLB you are a guest because you let your membership expire back in 2004.

JLB · Apr 26, 2007

And I never batted an eyelash!

2004, wow, that's a meaningful date.

I have gone on helping people anyway, just about every day, haven't I?

Now that I think about it, I have been called worse by better.

*Edit - Public comments about this situation were inappropriate and I apologize.

You can come back in 5 days if you want to play nice again, if not...enjoy your "upgraded guest" status permanently.

I'm confused - what did you just do?

tonyg · Apr 26, 2007

he just suspended/banned JLB.

TUGBrian · Apr 27, 2007

Yes...JLB has been suspended for repeated violations.

This has been discussed and the discussion is over.

tonyg · Apr 27, 2007

I said it was done...there are to be no further posts here about it understood?
