Update on Mr car,
He texted this morning saying he off next week maybe we could meet up for a weekday kiss and cuddle.
I don't k n ow what to think , he has said we can go slow and I'm the boss when it comes to setting pace.

Do you think I'm over reacting thinking is that all he after deep down I don't think he like that as well we introduced in April but didn't meet till few weeks ago. So doesn't seem to be just after sex.

Really, really sad to say that because of some comments made a couple of pages back, Bant has now been banned from the site. First Ike and now this.

He sends you all his fondest regards, says he'll miss you and wishes you good luck.

Bant has been a brilliant poster and has brought so much humour, common sense, intelligence and perspective to this thread. He has also been a true friend to me personally and has been incredibly generous with his support and practical help. This thread will be a far poorer place without him.

I have also had a formal warning.

Although I love this thread and many of the people on it, I'm going to have to think very carefully about whether this is a place where I want to continue to post.

Oops, don't know why that came through three times, sorry.

lovelybunchofcoconuts · 10/09/2013 14:24

Eh???? I don't understand.
I've read the past few threads avidly & I can't remember anything?
OWW are you alright? Are you on fb?
I'm friends with Snape & Secret.

Snapespeare · 10/09/2013 14:28

What the actual fuck? Were there deletions I missed?!

OhWesternWind · 10/09/2013 14:38

This is all to do with some posts around 7 pm last night that have been reported by someone on another thread. These posts haven't been deleted because there was nothing bloody wrong with them. However, I will obviously have to be very careful what I say otherwise I will be joining the ranks of the disappeared, so I'll leave it at that.

Yep, I'm on FB too Lovely - will PM you.

Secretservice · 10/09/2013 14:51

oww that is outrageous! How can that be?

Bant will be sorely missed Sad and please don't you disappear too, although I can understand why you might be tempted.

Longtime lurker. These online dating threads are the best ever, and have helped me get my post-LTR head around dating. Bant's input was a major draw...made so much sense even when his responses were perhaps difficult for some other posters to take. Very disappointed he has been banned Hmm

SweetSeraphim · 10/09/2013 14:58

What the hell has happened? Why has Bant been banned? And why has OWW had a formal warning?? I'm very confused.

KinNora · 10/09/2013 15:22

Hang on a minute - so it's perfectly ok to post malicious, malignant personal messages but not to make general comments ?
Christ on a bike.

SweetSeraphim · 10/09/2013 15:26

I just don't understand the situation at all. Both OWW and Bant are long-standing members of MN and this thread in particular. What has happened is so clearly down to a personal grudge that I can't believe it's been allowed to go on tbh.

SweetSeraphim · 10/09/2013 15:26

In fact, are we allowed to ask MN for an explanation on the thread? Is that the done thing?

Snapespeare · 10/09/2013 15:29

I can't find anything that either bant or oww have posted around about that timeframe that could be construed as a personal attack. Was that the reasoning behind the ban?

I hope you continue to post OWW, I'd miss you. I'll miss bant as well. And I miss Ike.

Another shit-ban-decision, while other MNers get away with 50 shades of bullying and harrasment. Have some consistency.

Oh no! I cannot see any deleted posts so I don't understand why Bant was banned Confused

Is it OK to ask MNHQ to explain?

AWarmFuzzyFuture · 10/09/2013 16:07

Have just caught up with the going ons Shock Sad

MNHQ don't seem to like the dating thread I think, as far as I can see there was and has been nothing to get banned for, so perhaps it would be useful to have Justine or someone explain why Bant and (indeed Ike) required banning and OWW warning?
