An Appeal to O.Com

[1042 Trooper]

Tim-

I have learned that Margaret Hood has been banned for posting in the Sqquad Room.

While I understand the policy and agree with it, I would like to ask for special consideration in her case. She has demonstrated incredible support and fraternity with all of law enforcement from her posts and in my personal corrospondence with her, I feel confident that few civilians hold the benevolence she does toward our cause.

Please consider a lift of the ban in her case. I'm sure she has learned the lesson and I, as a retired sworn officer, support and desire her participation on these boards.

Will anyone else back me up on this?

[DPS55]

of course 1042. Your word is good as gold!

[oshphopeful]

with you too, but nobody has gone against the Tim and come back...alive

[Fëanor]

I don't know if she is a serial child rapist or a Navy Seal with a Purple Heart, but it's just an online forum.

If she wasn't making it awful for everyone, I don't really see a problem with her being here or being banned. Neither way has much impact on my life.

Trooper and I usually disagree on almost everything, but in this case i support his position wholeheartedly. Except for one or two mistaken positions Ms. Hood has been a staunch supporter of Law Enforcement.

Appeal to O.Com

I've wondered at one time or another, where Margaret was coming from. But, she does seem to support us. Giving her the benefit of any doubt would seem to be in order.

Who doesn't like either 1042-Trooper or Margaret Hood? Troop if you're backing her I will too! She's a soccer mom for Pete's sake.
Please reconsider her being banned and allow her to post.

[InfiniteTeach]

I haven't been an official member or officer long, but I've been around long enough to know that 1042-Trooper's word is something I will always listen to. Please reconsider the ban.

within the given context, Margaret gets my vote. Not that I get a vote. But sometimes you guys have such deliciously interesting conversations in the Forbidden Zones that one should be forgiven for being unable to resist

[1042 Trooper]

Thanks one and all for the back up. Keep the votes coming in. We need people like Margaret and the other benevolent civilians here ON OUR SIDE!

It's not permanent. I too was banned a short while ago, temporarily, and notified via email to review the policies to ensure it did not happen again. It was a week or two if I remember correctly.

I dont believe they ever discuss bannings, and why people were banned. You also dont know how many people may have made complaints.

They own the site, and its up to them. I know there are bannings that dont last forever though.

[willowdared]

You know what they say Trooper...Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

I'm sure it's just a time out, and based on past kurfuffles, I believe reasons for "banning" are not supposed to be discussed.

Whatever you do, just don't call anybody an idiot on here: cost me a month recently.

You are correct. Tim and O.com have posted multiple times that they do not discuss bannings.....

And if they are banned, it's for a set time. If the account is no longer active, they are gone for good......

I would think she will be back here in a week or so.....
