There are quite a few very unpleasant people in the world, and most of them you will find on the internet. Even politely asking them to please not be rude to you "feeds the trolls", and their reaction is that you're the rude one. Go figure.
I also love the irony that they tell you not to tell them what to do when that's exactly what they're doing.
I've only been temporarily banned from a couple of websites, but that was my fault. And I feel really ashamed for what I posted on one of them, at least. But this site is about the only one where I go on forums on a regular basis, anyway.

I got banned from a forum (not related to this type of discussion) for saying that Liam Neeson is a badass. The irony of it though was, at the time, the movie "Kick Ass" was about to come out and was a subject of conversation on the same boards. So, sometimes, it's just confusing.
I'm wondering how the auto-filter here will treat the above words......
Edit: Huh...the words made it through. Just shows how language is always changing.....
