marlboro clues

[PACERFAN38]

i do not have a question but a comment. i am so upset with some of the so called user of the AB. it is a site to answer question is it not. Many of the question asked have been about the marlboro contest. but the rude comment from some of the AB user seemed to taking up more space than the actually question. when a question is type into search bar the Ab site pops up. It is the world wide web. A few of you have been so abinoxious its very sicking to think grown people would act that way. As for Fib you have handle yourself in a very adult like manner. Even after your so called country men have attacked you for helping people answer some of the clues. SHAME ON ALL OF THE RUDE PEOPLE.

Oh sorry Unrulie..I do know how you feel cos I too don't have a clue what anyone is talking about..nowt new there, I know ;o)

Seriously ~ the in the name of heck is this quiz all about???

[unruliejulie]

Oh, my last 2 answers have been banned! strange. all i wanted to know was what the hell this is all about as it is obviously upsetting some ABers.

[unruliejulie]

Oh, its pippa answers that are banned, not mine. sad, very sad.

[noxlumos]

Actually Julie it was my answer that was banned for daring to disagree with the Editor and as Pippa's made reference to my answer hers and Dotties are banned as well presumeably.
Getting more like Animal Farm by the day round here, there was nothing wrong with my last answer. Apparently the Ed has run out of "laid back California" when it comes to people publicly disagreeing with her.

[unruliejulie]

a couple of mine have gone too though Nox. I think you are probably expecting this one to vanish as well then ! I thought yours was a good answer, even though i havent got a clue about whats going on on this subject. Good on you for saying exactly how you felt.

[noxlumos]

Yeah I'm expecting to be banned any time now full stop to be honest and if I am then so be it, I'm really outraged that someone feels they can apologise on someone else's behalf and don't feel that anything in my last post warranted it being removed except that it disagreed with the Editor, but I did expect it go as I expect both of these to as well, too many negative vibes round here.

[unruliejulie]

did reply nox, but that has been banned too! what a joke. What i said was good for you for speaking your mind even if i dont have a clue what its all about.

[unruliejulie]

Ooops, now it looks like im drunk cause one minute my answer was gone and now its back. Im begining to feel a tad confused , not difficult, i know.
Nox, you and i have disagreed before but i always find your anwers well thought out and excellently put, it is a shame if your response is banned for that reason alone. I think you made a valid point.

[DotH]

Nox, your banned answer will be in your profiler as is mine, it can be copied and pasted I guess, I know my reply to it can be,

[shaneystar2]

A bit unfair to wipe to dot and nox's posts .
After all they are only stating their point of view.
Surely we still live in a free and democratic society.
nox's first post did contain a swear word admiittedy ..but I have seen far worse on this site on a certain section and that is allowed to remain.
Nobody wiped the posts where I and other members of this site were called ,dumb,anal,idiotic morons by these Marlboro people.

Quite pathetic comment Ed ....... confirmation that you are American.


The site was being abused ........ the Search facility ignored by the many persons posting Questions .... you just sat there *laid back* in your Californian style ..........

Ed / you are running a UK based site, and you havent got a clue about what amakes your ABers tick ............

If you want to run an American site .... then start a new one in the USA, DONT railroad this site

[steviep165]

my answer was banned just for saying well said pippa!!! what the hell is going on?

[hummingbird1]

For those who don't know, Marlboro cigarettes is running a contest called "Outwit the West 3". The contest consists of 100 questions, many of which have been asked/answered on this site. The team of 4 who answers the most questions correctly will win $1,000,000 US.

[unruliejulie]

hummingbird. Thank you! at last. I thought no-one was ever gonna answer me that one!!!!!!!

[Pippa68]

Why thank you stevie :o)

nox & unrulie ~ I am flummoxed. To be honest I don't know why one of my posts in particular was banned. I can't see why noxlumos had his banned..although his explanation does seem to be correct, the whole idea is appalling.

All I want to know now is does everyone who answered a marlboro Q on AB get a share in the dosh? it's only fair, the cheating swines ;o)

[Pippa68]

Oh yes, and thank you hummingbird1 :o) :o)

[DotH]

why are these people now posting the question twice? Or are they falling victim to the posting delay that the techies still have not sorted out?

[steviep165]

i sincerely doubt they have read the ED's comments in her blog adout the posting delay dotty. they probably just sit there and hit submit until they can see their question.
