this was the reason i was banned - quote

"You have been banned for the following reason:
The last straw calling LB a twat

Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

.........the fact that i didnt actually call LB that word, for which language i would have certainly been banned, though his wife wasnt when she used it, doesnt seem to matter - hy actually called me a t--t and i pointed out that i said what i did in jest, just as did his wife - however, it does appear theres one rule for me and another rule for the "in crowd"

I knew when i posted it i would be banned because hy has been sending me threatening emails/pms for a long time, telling me to leave and what hy would do it i didnt - yet i havent actually done anything - people are leaving because they are fed up with the dictatorial way they are running the site and those who remain are just scared to speak their minds or of course there are those who need the support and dont get it elsewhere - it makes the owners and their supporters feel superior - talk about power corrupting - trouble with people like that is in the end, they get left in a sinking ship...................i prefer to be where theres no prejudice against transguys, older people etc, which many felt there was on that site, rightly or wrongly. I know i experienced a lot of hostility from certain parties and for no apparent reason except maybe being in a stable relationship and not into public slanging matches..............which they seem to relish on there. Anyway I wont be losing sleep over it - bedtime.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You rebel you.

I think you're right though. When I tried to sign up, I was asked to give a little info. so I told them a bit about U/us. And that, as they say, was it. When they didn't respond to my first attempt to sign up and my various notes with anything but a standard response about the activation queue or whatever I tried signing up under a different ID but no, still no joy, so I can only assume that they check IP addresses? Eventually, I called them on it and said that if there was a particular reason why they didn't want U/us on the site then would they at least have the decency to tell U/us what it was and that's when the 'correspondence' came to an abrupt end.

Anyway, sorry they treated you so badly. At the end of the day though it's their loss, not yours. Medusa and Jack are clearly passionate about making this place welcoming to everyone, - even us cranky, decrepit Brits - so I'm sure you'll be much happier here. And if you're not? Well, then it's your own bloody fault. LOL...

Hugs to you both,

J.

Well, the other way around here. My girlfriend is a Brit in the US. She is originally from Oxford. Came to the US in her teens when her mother married a GI in the Air Force. Rufus

I'm a "non-Brit", but I've been here almost 31 years now.

Anyone else getting fed up with how this country grinds to a halt when we get a small amount of snow / ice / cold weather?

Three hours to get home from work yesterday evening (10 miles or so) and now about to walk a mile or so in ice on ungritted pavements which have been in a treacherous condition for over 4 days now ..... meanwhile, meant to be flying to Belfast tomorrow for Christmas and all signs point to further chaos at airports and cancelled flights .....

I'm starting to think I should live somewhere a bit warmer or better organised ....

[Passionaria]

I just wanted to stop in and say how happy I am to see you all on here! It's amazing to have a global community!

Hi everyone. I am a Londoner by birth, but now live in the West Country.

I come from Blackheath originally and still have family in London. I now live in the beautiful county of Cornwall, with my wifey of nearly four years. I wouldn't want to ever move back to live in London, but we do go "up country" from time to time to visit my relatives so if any of you are around and about when we're there, it would be cool to say "Hi".

Amanda and I met when we were at university in Portsmouth, so we used to go to Brighton (which is only an hour or so along the coast from there) for weekends.... to do the scene... that kinda stuff. We only ever go to Brighton now for Pride, which is always a blast.

Cornwall is not especially a "gay oriented" place. There is only one gay club in the whole county, and it was only in 2008 that there was the first ever Gay Pride held in Truro, so it's a bit of a backwater as far as "The Scene" goes, but there is no shortage of luvverly lesbians here, we get together for meets from time to time and we're all pretty good friends.

Are there any other Kernews on this site..?

Well, that's me. It'd be good to hear from anyone who wants to share info, or tips about clubs and places to go, and that kinda stuff. I look forward to hearing from you.

Love and hugs
Jen xx

Hi Jen! Nice to see you made it here and hope you enjoy the site. My best to Amanda.

[imperfect_cupcake]

hey words! thought I'd pop by here.

I don't know very many resourses for outside london. there used to be club wotever in brighton but I think it may have closed down. but the website will have that info.

don't worry about butchfemme.co.uk. Most of the people I enjoy got kicked off of that site and they are very wierd about what you can and can't talk about. most of the people I've talked to on there are oop north. but that site is very wierd in terms of admin and banning every other person. Nothing missed, trust me.

actually I do know of another uk site... can't recall the address but my old landlord used to go there, I'll check with her.

There has been no activity on this thread for a while, but hopefully this will give it a *bump*! I am happy to be in the UK; just south of London, to be exact! I am American but lived here off and on for the past 7 years. Just returned from a visit to my family in Nevada and so happy to see that there are many members from the UK. I am also a newbie and still breaking myself in, but thrilled to see there are others that think like me in my neighborhood. Just wish I had found this site sooner!

Anyway, hello one and all! I am so happy to be in your fabulous country tonight <3

[Ciaran]

Welcome to the thread LadyBug !

I've been to Nevada twice - unsurprisingly, it was to Las Vegas back in 2006 and 2009. Coincidently, both times it was for butch-femme events with many people from this site also in attendance.

...............ya know, im far from the rebel, on sites im polite, respectful and accept others points of view - most people enjoyed the banter they had with me - maybe that's the problem, all the attention has to be on the owners and their cronies, plus if you dont hold the same views as them they take it as a personal attack. I feel its good to hear things from others perspective, gives you something to think about and i keep an open mind, as you know with the discussions we have had..............as for being racist, misogonist, sexist - the list goes on of things i am accused of...............its absolute rubbish. There are people on that site who have used absolute foul language, been offensive, threatening, called people C---ts even, its disgraceful, yet they are told "calm down" ...............me, i dont even get a chance to answer back when they have a go at me, im just banned, for life this time.............to be truthful, i was only remaining on there because of their attitude towards me, over the last 6 mths the owners and their hangers on have become very unpopular with many people, so much so, the posts are getting less frequent.
Anyhow, now the Mullet's on here, i can carry on insulting hym, as hy expects me to - its just gotta be done...............
Lovely sunny day, the missus is still snoring
