Ford, calm down. No one can exile you without your permission. No one can bully you or make you afraid without your permission.

I don't know what your past experience here has been but this is an equal forum. We all have the same right to say and post what we feel without harsh retribution.

If you have been badgered or mistreated in any way, and the Webmaster(s) has not solved it, then you can report it to the President's office. I have the correct mailing address and phone number if you desire it. We are allowed to use it and nothing bad will happen to you as it it all done in private.

Never be afraid to be yourself. These people are total strangers, and you don't know what is going on in their personal lives. They have no cause or right to cause you any personal suffering. That is not what these forums are about.

I'm sure there are other people besides myself that would come to your aide if necessary, but I'm certain it won't be necessary.

Relax Ford, and enjoy the use of these forums as we each do. It's your right, nobody can or will stop you.

If somene says something unkind, it's a reflection on them, Ford, not you.

Get a little more backbone Ford. They are just meaningless words from someone with greater problems that you have. No one supports a bully.

Relax, most everyone here is very friendly and welcoming. If not, ignore them, they have big problems.

Blessings.

Get a backbone? Until you have been through some of the harassment I have seen Ford endure here by ONE particular poster, I would hold off telling her anything of the kind.

Usually a banned word will not post and it's pointed out to us why our opinion won't post.

I haven't yet read this whole thread but Ford, don't be afraid to post here and I'm sorry for what happened. But more of us that know you and appreciate you being here out weight whoever offended you. I hope you feel better here soon.

This forum should not be a place that scares people. I hope we can all enjoy it.

Ford, are you still here?

Did you contact the Q Social Team through that link in the box you saw when you were blocked? Did you tell them what happened?

Yes I did, but all I asked was for them to let me know when I could post again. I wasn't about to argue with them. I received the email the next day that said it was okay for me to post again.

If it happens again (God forbid) you can communicate with them and let them know what happened from your perspective. They do listen to reason. Try not to let this experience interfere with the way you post.

That's what's happened to me, Juju, the word wouldn't even post. I think it's really unfair that Ford's word got past the "censors" and then they banned her! It doesn't matter if it was for a short amount of time, I don't think it ever should have happened.

Because some banned words are not words associated with profanity, there has to be a warning before the word posts. Sounds like someone objected to a word never before thought as offensive. Who knows?

Now I am curious what ""the"" word was?

Hello croemer...it's nice t o meet you....did you happen to read .my reply @ #49?......I thought I made valid points.......I did not get any feedback at all so I'm not sure anyone read it (maybe the small print is a problem.....for the last few months I spend many hrs a day with my mother at a facility for Alzheimer's patients and am limited to my mobile).............if I understand the OP, SHE wasn't even the one who used the word but ANOTHER poster used it in HER reply to the OP....I am not sure if Ford originally wrote a single post or started a full thread in reference to "the state of the world"?......but according to what Ford hinted here I am guessing the four letter word starts with the ninth letter of the alphabet, with the same letter used again as the third letter too.......(the word is also the name of an Egyptian goddess)......Hope this helps.......

That would be correct.
