Doesn't look like you were banned for use of any particular word, but for many disrespectful comments. And.. your suggested motto is not very original or clever.

I got banned for saying 'N' word. Not an actual word, just N.

You must have forgotten the silent K.

I suppose it would be possible to have an opinion about this if one knew what was said that led to the ban.

You got banned for attempting to bully certain people in your conference it looks like. You were not banned for saying butt...please.

You could also go ahead and actually quote all of what you said:

Oh you mean like myself? Quit defending your butt buddy and shut your mouth.

I'm fine with your being banned for that.

if one wants folks to rally to your side, copy here the "many disrespectful comments directed at other owners" to which admin referred and folks can react

If we are going to ban people for a handful of disrespectful comments diablo should have a handful of weeks to serve.

I have no problem with it either way but it has to be consistant otherwise it isn't right.

I think you got banned for your favorite player being Christian Laettner.

Just for the record, we're not related.

Wow, I'm pretty sure you're on to something there. Good call.

I'm a diehard Blue Devil fan and even I couldn't stand that guy. Helluva college player, but......

I'm guessing what happened is that the "offended" owner clicked the "report" button and reported his "offensive" behavior/comments. I've said much worse to many others, I'm sure we all have, but how many of us are really telling each other to shut up, and how many are taking offense to those comments?

He has a right to be ****** (I guess?) however, hopefully he learns from the situation, and he is only banned from the conference board(s) which is practically nothing.

I expect that if the quote is in actuality the one pasted by acn24, which varies significantly in context if only by one word in content from that posted by the OP, that you are banned for making what is commonly known to be a homosexual slur. The term "butt-buddy" is, I believe, the issue, not the usage of the word "butt."

Nice. I never heard this one before.
