Yeah, that annoyed me. That's one of the reasons I'm over here. It seems like a nasty element has invaded CBn recently, and the admins either don't exist or don't care to address the problem.

Just wanted to congratulate Prisoner Monkeys on getting banned from Cb.n. Only you and Gravity now share the honour of being chucked out from both MI6 and Cb.n.

Oh I bet he loves being lumped into the same category as Gravity.

Still, this should entitle them to some special rank here.

Gravity's Silhouette and Prisoner Monkeys. The yin and yang of Bond fandom.

that's one way of looking at it, yes :)

Now, emboss their avatars in gold or something "We Were Banned From..."

Apparently Righty and David Schofield have just been banned too. Will PM their accounts here ASAP..

Why did Prisoner get the chop?

Is that banner with the parachutes of mi6/cb.n refugees still floating around here

Apparently I'm too confrontational.

Wish I knew why I'd been banned! Bloody juveniles! Didn't have the courtesy of telling me.

Still, leaves them with only a few decent folk (and there are some insightful intelligent ones there) among the very mixed-up and deluded (you know who I mean), the kids, and the Daniel Craig nut-huggers.

Bit flat on Bond at the mo, but here I am.

I'll really try not to upset anyone... Promise.

It doesn't help that Jim is so cynical and resorts to sheer bloody-minded sarcasm so often that it's impossible to tell when he's genuinely threatening you with the banhammer, and when he's just making fun of you.

I my case, no one even threatened me. Tried get in and couldn't, saw I'd been "discharged", asked both the Admiral and Jim for explanation. Got replies from neither of 'em.

Which makes Jim ignorant as well as sarcastic. Used to like him as well!

Another Bond forum falls to the yoof hordes then?

Here we stand, the last bastion of freedom, Fleming-reading, cantankerousness, and titophilia.

Fleming-reading? What that be, then????

Accidentally, you''ve just encapsulated the problems at the heart of CBN: one of the young MODS there is "reading" the Fleming novels FOR THE FIRST TIME by LISTENING to then on his Pod in ABRIDGED audio versions!!!! Araarghhh!

DS - a grumpy old bastard!

nuts preferably packed in the blue snuggies.

Apologies to Bond purists and feint of heart.



In case you need to know:

Luxury lingerie manufacturer La Perla was responsible for 007′s trunks, as well as the bikini worn by Caterina Murino. James Bond wears Grigioperla trunks from the summer 2006 collection, while Ms Murino as Solange wears an apple green sequined bikini.

As the trunks have been out of production for several years you are most likely to find this product on eBay.

Correct. Prisoner is probably not happy about sharing that distinction *WITH ME*, but I'm upset about having to share it with anyone, period. I liked having been the only person to be suspended/discharged/terminated from both sites.

And I would appreciate it if the mods or administrator gave me some sort of special title or designation, even if the original suggestion was made in jest. I wear Jim's discharge on me as a badge of honor.

JIm "Jacques" Stewart is the Keith Olbermann of moderators, and CBn is the CurrentTV of Bond forums.

I was never given a single warning or suspension; never put on moderation. Jim just decided one day that he'd run a poll to see who should get banned (as if there was ever any doubt who he was going to ban) and GermanShepherd and Misses Blofeld mustered enough votes to get rid of me. Jim was Pontius Pilate and played his role to perfection.

I decided to go over to CBn and take a look at it. The format is different; I see they've changed some things. But apparently they now have "warning points" listed in their profile. Seriously? Did I miss something?

http://debrief.commanderbond.net/topic/61338-warning-points/

In any event, whatever their use is or isn't, I have a feeling "Glidrose" will be terminated from CBn and will be a regular over here; nobody insults "Jim" and lives to tell about it, and he doesn't tolerate dissent, but at least he's now willing to admit he doesn't bother with warnings anymore.

I called him an asshole and wasn't banned...maybe he likes potty mouth women...

Probably! Who doesn't!

I haven't posted on CBn for more than a year, but last time I clicked on my profile it suggested I'd made no posts at all. I'm a bit hurt as I think my work over there rivalled anything written by Bill Shakespeare.
