Are you now, or have you ever been, banned

[slide to the left]

from anywhere?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Yes. It wasn't my fault though.

[LSK]

2. once i got kicked out of a politics chat room on irc

It was just before the Iraq war and I guess they didnt like me repeatedly saying "no Iraqis were on the planes on 9/11".

[swimboy]

3. I cried at the end of Charlotte's Web

and the teacher made me and another boy stand in the hall until we could get ourselves together.

[otherlander]

4. Yes. I won't say from where...but it rhymes with

See-you.

[Dear Bastards]

you're not alone

[Dear Bastards]

18. dupe

[Divameow77]

5. I was once kicked out of Sex World

in Minneapolis. Completely not my fault, a couple girls I was with got into some kind of trouble for making fun of the girls in the little booths :shrug:

[Deep13]

6. Yep, Astromart.

Used the word "shit" and got an automatic ban for a month. In response to my inquiry, the owner said "We have children on Astromart." So I wrote "Really? how much are they?" and then went into a tirade about children hearing worse than that at school recess.

[1gobluedem]

7. I was kicked out of Girl Scouts

and banned from rejoining (not that I wanted to anyway).

[Deep13]

12. That's gotta be an interesting story.

:popcorn:

[Maestro]

8. Yep

See here

[DelawareValleyDem]

9. Just Free Republic nt

[txwhitedove]

10. Well, in the beginning..., from day care for waking everybody up.

[Rude Horner]

11. Not exactly "banned" but definitely tried to be silenced

A few years back we had a minor league hockey team in our town. I had season tickets, and we sat in section 304 with a whole bunch of other rowdies. Basically, the whole crowd was dead except for our section, and we were extremely loud.

Eventually, the ushers started trying to quiet us down because they felt that our yelling wasn't conducive to the family atmosphere they were aiming for. The thing is, we didn't swear. The worst thing we did was yelled "HE shoots - he SUCKS!" when someone from the opposing team took a shot and missed. And I mean, cripes, this is HOCKEY for christ sake! There's fights on the ice and they're worried about us yelling "sucks"?!! :wtf:

So after being hassled about our behavior for weeks, we struck back. One game, we brought a huge banner that said "Section 304. Sanitized for your protection". And we all wore those paper thingies that they put on toilet seats at hotels. Ya kinda had to be there, but it was funny.

13. I was once kicked out of a shopping centre.

For running up the down escalator...but I prompty re-entered through another door.

Another time I stumbled across a white-supremacist "Catholic" organisation (which is quite some contradiction in terms) on-line, after voicing only a few of my views I was banned swifter than one can say "Jack Robinson"...as they say.

[uppityperson]

14. Peace Corps

didn't want uppity people but people who would go out to new places of country and be peacefully blissful and let native people get used to having USAnians around.

[IA_Seth]

15. Not so much bannned....

But my rousing chant of "Fuck Bush" that involved 75% of the crowd at the Piano Lounge I love to frequent resulted in my being asked to lay low for a while....

A guest piano player said something on the mic praising the deuche bag...and I was drinkin...nuff said.

But I DID get several more drinks bought for me when I came back!

[Debi]

37. Um, Seth, you certainly have a lot of drinking stories!!!

:beer:

[skygazer]

16. The bar where my brother worked

My girlfriend and I got very drunk there one night and walked out with a bunch of shotglasses and wineglasses in our purses. :blush:

We were nabbed outside by the bouncer who asked us not to return "for a couple of weeks."

My brother has never let me forget it.

[khashka]

17. I got kicked out of Boy Scouts

and got kicked out of a chatroom for telling another poster to go fuck himself.

Khash.

[RagingInMiami]

19. In my early 20s

I got banned from several bars. I used to get really rowdy. And the crowd I hung out with was very rowdy. I haven't been banned much lately, but I did get temporarily banned from DU a couple of weeks ago.

[KyndCulture]

20. Freepville, twice... and

Hannity twice during a nasty board war with their cheeseheads and the Randi Rhodes Message Board.


We won, cause the hannity mods started banning their members for trolling Randi's board.

[Generic Brad]

21. From all family gatherings

I was asked to never ever say anything disrespectful of the president, Republicans, or Fox News. In return, I was expected to sit through diatribes that praised the president, Republicans, and Fox News and not respond. I do not respond well to ultimatums.

[RevCheesehead]

22. Yeah - in high school...

some of us got banned for life from the local Dairy Queen, for having a rip-roaring good food fight after a basketball game.

Karma won - the store closed a few years later. :evilgrin:

[pitohui]

23. uncounted casinos

for the usual reason -- playing a winning game

if anyone tells you that they are a long term winning player at a casino game and they have never been banned, you can be quite confident that they are lying

poker is a different manner, they don't care if you win the other player's money as long as you're contributing to the rake

[jobycom]

24. Kicked out of a restaurant when I was a kid for having long hair.

Mississippi. Gotta love it.

[In_The_Wind]

25. nope ~ never

[mvd]

26. Hmmm.. from Celiberal's board

Their board is so useless that I had to tell them so. I don't even bother going on ones like Freak Republic.

[everythingsxen]

27. I have been banned from...

several CounterStrike servers for cheating, back in the day...

I DLed a cheat/hack program for it way back when and I swore to only use it for good, so I could watch other players and see if they were cheating, but I got corrupted by it and cheated myself for a few months. Now I hate cheaters even more than I ever did.

[bluethruandthru]

28. I got kicked out of a gay bar.

When I was young I went to a gay bar with a few male friends (I'm female). The bouncer said I couldn't come in because I was wearing high heels?

[khashka]

34. That sucks!

Betcha some of the boys were wearing high heels too! Rampant sexism! Sometimes gay bars can be really unfriendly to women.

Oddly enough, lesbian bars tend to be really friendly toward men. I've been to dyke bars and music festivals and it's amazing how many lesbians came up and said how cool it was I was there....

Khash.

[rabid_nerd]

29. I was tombstoned once!

But I begged skinner's forgiveness for about a year.

[Ava]

30. yup

one place

[ceile]

31. My favorite pub.

My SO got in a fight, so we got banned. I was engaged to the owners' friend at one point a few years back.....but I'm sure that had nothing to do with it.:sarcasm:

[dpbrown]

32. Hasn't everyone?

Oh, I've been banned, alright.


:evilgrin:

[MiniMandaRuth]

33. I was, but it was a joke.

A friend of mine has a web forum that all of us frequent to keep in touch over the summer. Well, he thought it was funny...

And he banned me for four hours.... Every time I tried to post, I got a picture of a duck!!!

I got him back, though. So it's all good.

[RandomKoolzip]

35. Yup: two places - here, and Tower Records.

I got banned from DU once, but I don't want to talk about that.

I got banned from Tower Records in New Orleans because I got busted shoplifting from them back in my "teenage drug-taker" days.

[Debi]

36. Not from here

:scared:

Why, did you hear something???

[Lavender Brown]

38. Yes

From a real estate brokerage in NYC. They took money from my roommates and me (for a apartment that we never got or signed any papers for) and we were relentless about getting it back. They asked that we not contact them again, as if we would have.

[Placebo]

39. I was banned from DU once.

For one week.

Ages ago, under my old screen name, before the Great Screen Name Change of 2004 following the election.

Yes, I was banned for starting now infamous, but nevertheless popular threads, with titles such as "Do You Have a Penis Or a Vagina?" and "I Have a Penis, Does That Make Me a Bad Person?"

[Beware the Beast Man]

40. Yes. Two forums, loaded with douchebags.

They can all fuck off, for all I care.
