I'm only allowed one post a day on that board so that, as Grood explained, my posts are now like a serial.
Judging from the disappearance of today's post, looks like you've been totally given the boot!!
Todd's got one foot on a banana peel and Eric has one finger on the banned button!!!

Soon after that Eric and his Dad had an argument and Eric actually banned his own father from the site (kid you not! What a prince).
Now THAT sounds fascinating. Do you have any more details????

Yeah, yeah, I know!! I have a very sick curiosity!!!!

Hmmm, I'm not sure. My last post I think was about Kay Aldridge's odd sounding accent and stilted line reading, to which he posted that I was basically an idiot for not recognizing an Oklahoma accent, and then someone else pointed out that she was from Virginia (which may be true but her accent isn't so much Southern as it is just Aldridge's way of talking, kind of like Lugosi isn't so much Hungarian as he is just Lugosi), and the next thing I know I' m having trouble posting. Could I be an inadvertent agitator?

Todd -

I saw there was a message posted there for you which says there are no restrictions on your account and to try logging out and back in again. Sounds like a technical issue.

Kay DOES have a weird speech in that serial, and a weird butt that is accented by an ugly outfit.

Hmmm... No WONDER I'm banned from that site...

Wait a minute. Eric got mad because somebody questioned his fantasy that Kay Aldridge was from Oklahoma? Can anybody say megalomania? I'm from Virginia, and I know darn well she had a Virginia accent. Doesn't seem like anything to get steamed about, though, does it?

Mort, I wasn't around when Eric allegedly banned his Dad, so I'm just repeating a rumor. Perhaps the facts are a little different, I don't know, but his Dad never posted on the site despite having written a book on serials. He did appear in the chat room once, though, so maybe I'm wrong about the whole deal. I don't think so, though.

The thing about Eric is, you never know when he's going to lose his temper or what he will do when he does. He's like a four-year-old, given to inexplicable rages, often when someone questions his omniscience, his manners, or his dreary writing style (which last was my great sin). I give the guy a wide berth, and respectfully suggest that you all do the same.

No, it was the post where you questioned why you were having trouble posting on other threads. First noticed it yesterday. Re-clicked on it later & it said it didn't exist. Saw it again this morning, re-clicked an hour later. Vanished again????

Weird things going on over there. Somehow or other, I clicked on a thread that had riddlerider, KanSmiley & a host of others who had generally disappeared. The dates on all of their posts were either today or yesterday. Went out to their profiles & they had a lot of other posts with the same two dates.

Recently returned & it said that riddlerider was also logged in. Love the internet. It moves in mysterious ways!!!

I remember the time Eric's Dad was in the chat room. Several of the regulars pretty much pleaded with him to come back again. At the time I found it weird that anyone would need to plead with his Dad to show up in chat.

Anybody who gets the boot from Eric's site should consider it a Badge of Honor. With the exception of 4 squadron members: Pa Stark, SixFigures, Powder Solvang and Cap. Canuck everyone else has been give the boot in one form or another. He's doing everything he can possibly do to kill his site and evidently he really doesn't care. He was sending emails to former Squadron Members he had previously banned in hopes of keeping the feud going but everyone pretty much said Eric we don't care anymore and didn't take the bait. It's a shame something like that had to happen but Eric has no one to blame but himself. I have visions of him sitting in his apartment in Newtown, Pa. looking at his computer wondering where everyone went but you know Eric will never blame himself as long as he can point fingers at other people. Pretty pathetic

Well, I logged out and back in, so we'll see how that works. And just to stay on thread topic, I am watching phantom Empire for the, I think 30th time. Love the Oscar and Pete song

I agree Todd. I'm presently 8 chapters into Bruce Gentry that will be reviewed in the Serial Family chat room on Sunday the 19th.
