I've not spotted him yet. But a 3rd party has become very conspicuous by a prolonged absence since the bannings, makes me wonder.....how does the banning work?

Vested interest eh? I'll watch out for the trip report with the glowing over-the-top recommendation.

Well, I'm not the board manager, but it goes something like this: You break the rules (advertisements, fighting, personal attacks, especialy of the nature "Fred's woman from Glasglow is nothing but a wxxxx" etc. etc.), Patrick (the board owner) deletes the offending messages and tells you to clean things up. You violate them again, he either warns you again or bans you, depending on his judgement of exactly how far out of line you are and/or if he's had to warn you before. Repeated warnings and/or really bad stuff get you banned, simple as that. I have seen him once ban a guy with no warning, but the guy's post was really out of line, something he meant as a joke, but was really very insulting to one of the lady posters on the Asian board. Apparently they worked it out off line, because the guy is back and his first post after he came back was a pretty sincere looking appology.

Actually, Patrick is more lenient(sp?) than I would be, especialy about guys who think this is where you are suppossed to write those "Hey guys, I SCORED!" type of high school sophomore letters to Penthouse magazine (like the one that started this thread, for example)...they contribute nothing of value, annoy the decient guys, scare off any decient foreign women who may be reading (yes, there are some, particulary a few members' wives and fiancees), and give ammunition to those who would say "You see? All those MOB guys are, at best, just a bunch of loosers who couldn't get a date over here anyway and at worst, are taking advantage of the womam's dire ecconomic straits and betraying her hopes of finding a good man just to get sex from her".

I was asking about the technical side of banning.

He knows your user name and IP address from when you registered and adds it to a list. There is also a cookie on your machine that he checks for. Not that I'm advocating doing so, but it's not that hard to defeat, which is how some of the banned people keep comming back under a different user name. He might also have something a little more sophisticated that I'm not aware of (I've never been banned, so I wouldn't know).

That he was actually making a philosophical comment.

Meaning: The moment one poster was banned... suddenly another person "seemed" to disappear... making him postulate whether a ban of one person would also get that person's alias.

From a technical point, I don't know if Patrick's banning scheme/software is that sophisticated. From a practical point, perhaps if Don Quixote is banned, Sancho no longer needs to be around to defend him, does he?....Especially is they are really one and the same, just using two different log ons, what you think?.

Yes... this is exactly what I think...

Well... That is an indirect by-product of a banning... but not direct one...

Seriously, the marriage-minded women don't want to be sport-forked, they want someone to make love to them. I think this story illustrates this.

Sounds to me like the reason she "hedged" on meeting you the third time is because she felt that all you wanted was sex and in fact your post said as much, that you were just with her for the sex because she was good at it, but that there were other things about you that bothered you.  So it was just about the sex..  Geez, that's a pretty expensive trip just for some sex!  Much less expensive to do that right here at home where you live!

My point was that when you say "I try to leave them with good feelings about Americans in general" and then you say "But if you expect I will ever be sorry about liking sex, finding women who also like sex, having consensual sex on second date (or first date), and even overlooking some misgivings to have sex on 3rd and later dates, forget about it.", I find that the two statements hardly go together.  I think this is often exactly why they get a lousy feeling about many Americans.  You can call me an idealist or a romantic, but it does not sound to me any way to treat a lady, especially if you happen to actually be looking for a wife rather than just a one night stand.  I hope you don't now tell me that you are looking to marry one of these girls who will jump in the sack with you on the first date?  If you are only there to party, that's fine, but let's just call it what it is..  
As far as being sorry for it?  That's up to you.  From all I have read of your posts, I have come away with the distinct impression that you use the helll out of these girls, and that's sad to me because if they are not all just party girls, some of them are very likely hurt by the "mash-em and trash-em" style that you write about..

There once was a guy who asked his neighbor if he could borrow his lawn mower.  The neighbor said, "No."  The guy asked why not.  The neighbor said, "Because I have to wash my dishes."  The guy said, "What does washing your dishes have to do with me borrowing your lawn mower?"  The neighbor said, "One excuse is as good as another."
