My name is Motherfracker and it was on the TAPS forum. I have been disscussing things that I thought were faked and the motivation behind it for a couple days. The next thing I know I had a banned message in front of me. I have been a member of that board since the begining and never had a problem. I DO love the show but as I told them on that board "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining". I didn't cuss anyone or call them names or insult them as they did me. So that tells me more about their mentality. I guess I fit in here more than I did over there.

I happen to still be a member on the TAPS site. I didn't get kicked off, but I had one of my messages blocked, all because I made a remark about a guy posting a message on every topic just to earn points and he hadn't been a member that long and me I have been a member for a few years now. Like you I didn't cuss etc. So I got angry and found this site. And I'm happy I did. I wanted to delete my name but you can't, unless of course you get kicked off. So instead I stayed so that I can go back and see some of the stupidest S^%$t being said on there.

last I looked, it seemed some of the moderators are getting a little suspiciuos. LOL

I'm glad to think some of the MODS would wake up some.

I used to get on that site but the butt kissers (avatars?) took so long to download it became a tooth grinding experience.

I've been on the TAPS site under another screen name. I've noticed that the mods are very quick to jump on most posters if they say anything negative and they're very quick to threaten banning. Their "ban threats" come off as childish and,imo, an obvious misuse of their "power".

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

Not to mention that ass "billyguitar".  That guy can get away with murder.  He's also dumb as a brick.  Let's see… says skepticism is spreading sick ideas, calls all skeptics trolls and calls for their banning, even said they were Hitler supporters (in a roundabout way).  When I see the mods doing nothing about him but then go close other threads that dare question the authenticity of some of the evidence for being off-topic, I can't say that the TAPS forum is anywhere I want to be.

I have been lurking on their boards (both Sci-Fi and TAPS 18+) for a little while. I never posted over there because if you even go against the grain in the slightest the flaming daggers come out in mass! After the Halloween show I got tired of seeing all of the fluff over there and needed more substance.

Yep , he's dumb as dirt and seems to be a "mods favorite". I think their little party over on TAPS board is closed to anyone who isn't a total, unquestioning believer of everything shown on the GH program.

Hello all, I am new here also after having been in the Taps forum for awhile.  I had not even ventured to post any opinions over there after watching the bloodbath occur in the Live Show thread.  MotherF, I watched you get banned and couldn't really figure out why except that there was just no love for you among the in crowd.  I can really appreciate the dialog here, like walking into the fresh air from a smoke filled room.  Cheers all.  I look forward to more conversation.

The end is nigh, for TAPS and their forums full of clueless adoring fans.

Motherfracker, I was following your posts over there because you were almost the only sensible one (including the feud with billyguitar) and now I see you were banned.  I was going to PM you and invite you over here, but you found usLaughing  Last night, it did not surprise me to see that you were banned. 

IMO, at first the mods allowed all the negative posts rights after the show because it was a floodgate and they couldn't stop it.  I figured they were waiting until some of the steam was taken out to start banning people.

I've been a member of their boards since they were first put up as well.  Even gave money when it went down due to lack of funds (a fool, I know) and then another board sprang up that was nothing like the old one.  Still I stayed.

My posts now are only on subjects that have nothing to do with GH shows, but where I try to educate people to be more skeptical.  I kept out of the live show threads because I know it is useless getting through to the sheeples.  But during the Manson FLIR business, why a certain female mod (I think you know who I mean) didn't ban me, I have no idea.  However, I have a rude, insulting post from her saved to my computer just in case I ever meet Jason.  I want to shove it in his face and ask him if this is what he wants representing TAPS.

To me, it is now nothing but a laughable cultfest and an education in the gullibillity of some people.

If 50 million people believe a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.
