Joel would get an email from me that would NOT be very nice...(lol).

Just as society has a court system to hear and settle disputes, the same opportunity should be available to those who make mistakes or who are alleged to make mistakes. That format should be a moderated chat. BELIEVE ME, it wouldn't be "free". There would be points required to be forfeited or "paid" for that format. I would request a debate in a moderated chat. There would be no such thing as "Anonymous". "Anonymous" should be assigned a number or series of letters and numbers. I would DEFINITELY want to know who, specifically, caused me to get that e-mail. If that person or those people had a track record of doing nothing but causing trouble, I would request for that person or those people to be available for me to debate that person or those people, as well. IF that person or those people have the courage to cause the aggravation, friction and other negative effects to others, then he/she/they BETTER have the courage to face the person he/she/they caused the aggravation to!!!!!!! As far as I'm concerned it MIGHT be an error on both our parts. I can forgive. Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name! Sources: Some personal observations and opinions.

I'd forward it to Joel or Rich immediately because some idiot thinks he/she is being funny. :)

I'd forward the emails to the REAL Joel and let him know someone had abducted his identity. I know banning people isn't something Joel does lightly, and certainly never does without extreme provocation. Since I haven't done anything to provoke such an action, I'd definitely give Joel benefit of the doubt and start with the premise that Joel was as much a victim as I was!

I'd forward the email to both Rich and Joel and let them take care of it.

Sorry, this wouldn't post as a "Comment" Hi zazzy_one! It doesn't bother me who it's from. I participate in this forum. I provide pretty good answers. I tell LOTS OF others about this forum! I think I'm entitled to have that chat - even if it does cost some ps or a Level. I don't know how young you are, but as you get older and more mature, you might just adopt some of the same philosophy as some of us older folks: I've already been through the worst. What else can happen to me? The VERY WORST answer I'll get is "No". Other than in love and romance, "No" NEVER hurt anyone. AND as one of my nentors told me: SW3 - N! Some Will. Some Won't. So What! NEXT! Last BUT certainly not least: Joel is a VERY busy man. Other than on April 1, (April Fool's Day) do you honestly think he has the time to pull that prank? Thanks for those points! I do my best to provide helpful answers. Thanks for boosting my spirits and helping to make my day A WHOLE LOT BETTER! :-) :-) :-) :-) Very Truly Yours, Ron Berue :-) :-) :-) :-)

I wouldn't believe it because there's no such a thing as being banned for life on AB. Well, that's not the term that they use (even though it's effectively a ban for life). I'd ignore those emails and move on. Joel and Rich are busy men (especially now that Joel is about to get married). I don't want to bother them with some bogus emails.

1) I'd be upset, as i havn't done anything to be put in the PB 2) id laugh and be relieved.:)
