I am banned

I got banned from youtube for supporting Ron Paul, so i know a little how you feel. I had over 400+ videos and 400+ people that were RP supporters to contact and I was gone in a day.

Doing something wrong is a matter pf perception. Who is doing the perceiving, that is one reason we have to oppose the REAL ID.

new meetup for RP: http://ronpaul.meetup.com...

I am not very good at computers so for me to promote this site on You Tube, etc. is something I do not have the ability to do. I am satisfied with bumping the Edward Griffen thread now, you will see no more posts on the topic unless it is very necessary. You may see me bump the Edward Griffins thread from time to time though, or if something important comes up with the project. Be happy, this project got it's first dvd shipment funded because of determination. Was it worth the sacrifice of the thread overload? I think so. Now that we are all aware of it let's promote the project on other sites in the same manner we did here. If we thought it was hard to raise awareness here, I can't even imagine how hard we will have to work it outside of here. Keep up the great work. I agree that I broke the rules and I am not upset that I was banned. Understand I was just hoping our excitement would build excitement up in the rest of you, and it seems like it did. It feels good to be excited about this project.

Even in exile he's still pushing the DVDs4delegates! Thanks for everything, Tog.

He is promoting dvds4delegates on youtube,and in other places where people can see it and get involved.
I have seen guests sign in,and say that they come here for all kinds of info.
9/11,economy,impeachment,preparation,latest news on Dr. Paul,are all subjects people are interested in. This is the reason they keep coming back.
When there are 10 out of the 20 active forum topics that are spam,it makes people want to leave.
I am for the project.I am not for plastering the DP with it. I am for finding ways to reach out to other sites,and promoting this.
If you put as much effort into promoting DVDs on other sites as you do here,you might have better results. Preaching to the choir,aint gonna work. We need the choir to sing to the farthest reaches of the internet.

I thought about starting a petition-thread on your behalf for Michael. Wonderful he is about to unban you.
BTW "Iamstillhere" is a nice tag, esp for those people on the DP who know the story behind it.
A cheer with a German beer for tog(whoisstillhere) and for manystorm!!!

Dr. Paul cured my apathy

Wow reading comments below - gives new meaning to the term "Revolution" lol

This whole dvds for delegates thing has turned into far more than an irritating occasional occurrence. You say you weren't aware of the rules but Jack Parkman just a short while ago posted a thread reminding people of the rules we all agree to, he didn't name any names , and did it in a very polite way but all the dvds for delegates group just attacked him. Even in your post you tag off the dvds for delegates four times, way too much.

I'll be happy when the convention is over and this all just goes away.

Tog, you are a true hero.
Without your efforts, who knows how many countless Ron Paul supporters would have been unaware of the dvd project.

I, for one, had simply been ignoring the project, but when I witnessed your relentless passion I gave in and became a full-fledged supporter.
Thank you.

it is momentum like that, that will keep this Revolution exciting and lasting. Let me ask you this, what would our founding father's say about us all who were "overzealous" in our efforts? Whenever I involve myself in a project for the Revolution, I always ask myself first, "What would the founding fathers do?'' I think they would have already resorted to taking up arms. I am sorry for inconveniencing you in any way on this site, it really is disturbing to know some on here were inconvenienced by our efforts. You should be proud to see us rally behind this not disgruntled.

The 50% of the active forums being about DVD4Delegates. Cause if it was then I side with Nystorm. Thats 50% in one evening. Spam. I call it like I see it.

That's what you're showing, TOG, with every comment in this thread.

Even your explanations are disingenuous. "I did not want to override Michael Nystroms system," is what you say. But your actions are just that: "overriding" and circumventing his decision!

By continuing to post in this fashion and passive-aggressively complaining about your punishment, you are showing complete disrespect for private property (this site) and its owner's right to control it. You're insulting the owner by (loudly) refusing to abide by his decision.

Iamstillhere (tog) writes:"This may be my last post under this name because I may get caught and banned again, so I will only post when it is completely necessary, I may have to consistently sign up as a new member to do this, so I will post when I feel it is important."

Here we go again. So you're basically going to keep putting on new disguises to enable trespassing? You later say "I will abide" but you aren't abiding now.

This isn't a second chance. It's probably not a third or fourth chance either. The forum guidelines were posted. I even went out of my way to link to them many times, and created a thread to remind people of some of the relevant provisions. You commented on that thread. You wrote today that "In all seriousness I never saw the rules," But you knew the rules, but choose to ignore them when you unilaterally decide it's worth it.

That's not the way the world works, and that's not the way this site should work. If we were all free to decide which rules to abide by, we'd have anarchy and this site would be a mess. Even in "thanking everyone" you manage to spam in 3 more gratuitous links to the project you're promoting.

Frankly, I don't see how this thread has any overall relevance to the campaign. You're not spamming not for a project, but out of self-indulgence and ego.

To NotOverYet and others: I'm not working on banning anyone. I didn't even backchannel anyone and request such a banning. I said my piece, and you've all been made well-aware of the rules. Ignorance is no longer an excuse, and I trust Michael Nystrom to enforce his own guidelines. I've noticed a dramatic improvement in the last few days, but if I see a flagrant flouting of the rules I'll be sure to point it out.

I hope we can all move on to constructive yet reasonable efforts to help the movement. I'm not saying the project you've been promoting isn't constructive, but the way in which a handful of people have gone about promoting that project has gone beyond the point of diminishing returns to the point of counterproductivity and annoyance. Everyone who frequents these forums knows about the project. If they haven't decided to get involved, the umpteenth gratuitous posting of the day isn't going to sway them. That's not the way most people think. If anything, it will have the opposite effect and convince them that the folks behind such a project are annoying egomaniacs. I'm not saying you're hearts aren't in the right place, but you really ought to put some thought into how your efforts will be perceived.

I'll end this unnecessarily long post with this thought: the rules exist for a reason. We should respect that. Want to change them? Talk to Michael Nystrom or start a postive, constructive thread that makes the case for new rules. But when we venture on to this "property" we agree to abide by the laws of the land. Opting to ignore those rules in pursuit of some other objective is only going to backfire and make this site a less pleasant porthole for the revolution.

Sincerely,
JP

like I said you all make me feel larger than I am. We can do it if we stick together. Ron Paul all the way, now that is what I am talking about. Woo Hoo!!!! Good Night.

sometimes that Marine in me just wants to make people drop and give me fifty, but I am restrained by this computer. I will tone it down for you. Thank you if you give me a second chance. I have to hit the hay. I just hope we can all remain focused for our delegates you know, I don't want them to lose heart by seeing us so divided. We need to give them 110% in order to expect 110% from them. Good Night.

I am always amazed at how well you all can sniff out trolls. It is truly amazing. They last like two seconds on here, until you all let them have it. I have to sleep now, I am tired. Your omniscience is amazing and your fortitude can win battles. Keep up the great work, I think I just got possessed by Ghengis Khan with that kind of philosophy. It works. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until we meet again, You Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told you to if you'd just abide by the rules that I would unban you.

believe it or not.......I saw the name tog2476 appear on the 'stack' view for the DIGG results on the SCREWED article!

Welcome back tog2476!
