I think I've seen other people do this once or twice--but if one of the "banned" ones just creates a new name, if they're still interested in posting, they could probably come in under the radar. Just a thought....
No, I do belive you would have to resign on from a different computer. Not sure but its what I do believe happens. Then again never tried it. Right now I think the banners need some down time. Hopefully they will come back.

That could be. I never tried it either, but it makes sense.

The evidence seems to indicate that AG posted her E-Mail so SG could contact her, so other people posted theirs under the impression that it was now 'ok'.
Frank--you're smarter than that.
And if they want to be reinstated, they know what to do.
Yes I am. I'm also more compassionate than that. I also see people for who they really are. Their fears, their strengths. Their true selves.
I see it through their words and their actions. I feel their feelings.
I wish I understood the no-email policy. There must be a good reason.
I have contacted several of you off line (after posting my email here before I knew the policy) and it has done a world of good for me and those I talk to. I cannot say how many times those emails or phone calls have been lifesavers to me and others. Too bad there is not a way to private message others with my email address - after all I should be able to send my email to those I want as long as I cannot hold the BB responsible for any downside.
Just a thought for our moderators to ponder. If it really helps, and I am here to tell you that it does, can you not find a way for us to share such data while keeping it "private"?

The no-email policy as stated seems to be based on misinterpretation of 'liability'.
The laws don't hold Bulletin Board owners responsible for members actions. If that were the case, Yahoo groups couldn't exist. Myspace couldn't exist.
If I wanted to be concerned about the law here, I would check with my lawyers to determine if by creating this site does MWD imply that she endorses the kind of 'therapy' being given by the posters?
I would imagine that a lawyer was consulted and no liability was determined. Otherwise the site wouldn't be here.
So, the 'stalker liability / protection' excuse is just that - an excuse. There is some other reason not being stated.
Perhaps being able to support each other on the phone or via e-mail cuts in to the revenue generated by calling the DB Coaches?
I think I know you better than you not caring. You and I have been at this too long to care for us but I still remember when I was a newbee and how this place really helped - so I offer this to try to make things better.
I just request the moderators strive to improve the BB rather than punish. Be proactive rather than reactive. That will help those who come here for help.
Interesting thought about the coaches but I think most realize I am not a qualified coach on this subject. Many I have talked to have also talked to the coaches here.
Anyway, maybe time to lock this thread so we can get back to supporting frank_D.
The Mariage Builders discussion boards allow you to post email addresses and urls of personal web sites. I have not heard of a rash of them getting gunned down in the news by pro-divorce whack jobs.
Maybe this site should have a button link to the facebook divorce busting group.
I suppose even mentioning the name of Williard Harley here will be a cause for censorship.
Haven't talked to W or gotten a reply to the e-mail I sent to her after she sent out the 'I have a new e-mail and mailing address' E-Mail to everyone.
she calls the kids cell phones to talk to them and she does her morning routines with the girls here at the house.
She has the "I'm free and independent" mindset.
It only hurts a little now. The more I stay out of contact the more I heal.
D17 had a meltdown today. She has been feeling like she is responsible for the upkeep of the house and her sister, and a lot of things. I didn't realize that she felt that way. I have to do a better job of taking care of things.
Kind of funny how the first week W was out of the house she begged me to let her come over and clean. It's been 5 weeks now and she hasn't done that since.
I think she's got her 'moving on' and 'detachment' down pat. For her sake I hope she has a decent life. I know I will.
