Harvey got banned the other day. Not sure how that happened, but I’m pretty sure he’s supposed to have access to the site. I wonder if the comment spam filter is on the fritz.
Anyway, I’m worried other people may have been banned. I very rarely ever ban anyone, and it’s usually preceded by something like, “You’re banned! DIE!!!” So, if you can’t comment on IMAO, make sure to e-mail me and include your IP so I can try to figure out what happened.
I don’t appear to be banned but the site DOES take forever to load. Is that the same thing?
So I’ve been trying to get banned for years and you ban Harvey? I mean, how many times do I have to call you FrnakJ to get banned around here? That’s my biggest problem with this site, to paraphrase Groucho, I don’t like commenting at a site that allows me to comment there.
How exactly did that work, anyway. You banning Harvey is like Gollum banning Smeagol.
Or is it Smeagol banning Gollum?
Yeah, ussjimmycarter got banned. He must have used too many bad words and your comment filter blacklisted his IP address. It happened to me once. I think because I used the words “G-d” and “p-rn” and a few others in the same comment. Misspellings (or non-use) are the key to avoid that situation.
ussjimmycarter – you get back here right now, g*d dammit!
Frank,
Do you or “Harvey” have anything to say about this?
Marko, you’re gonna make me get banned again! That conjures up sooooo many bad words.
I think it’s a vast left-wing conspiracy.
First they take our commenting privileges, then they take our money, finally they take our women (or in Barney Frank’s case, our men).
Much like in the movie I Robot the computer brain is evolving, and it was inevitable that Harvey would be banned. “My logic is perfect”
It’s definitely the former.
Frank and Harvey are kind of like Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon. The problem is, we don’t know who is who. But they’re both “sidekicks.”
HOPE. CHANGE.
Feel better?
No, #10. Keep it clean, Jimmy:
* The universal sign for a$$hole.
* The universal sign for ‘null – the empty set.’
* In this case, the universal sign for ’empty suit.’
* Gay o-rings.
* Everyone’s got one – his is huge, arrogant and pompus.
Nope – I’m not banned from IMAO – unlike certain nudie bars I could name.
Nice to know there is still someplace willing to stoop low enough to let me in.
Nope, not banned; just haven’t had anything to actually say. Writing any of the various forms of laughter in a comment is… well, pretty lame, pretty quick.
Frank tried to ban Me, but as I am omnipresent, he would have to block ALL IP addresses to stop Me. Even then, as I am also omnipotent, I could still post comments – and ban Frank! So, watch it, you racist crackers!

Not banned, but I definitely catch the “Aw crap, not that guy again” looks when I bother to comment on something. Junior high school all over again.
Still can’t read this site when I’m in Guadalajara but that place smells funny and a lot of things don’t work there.
You should ban yourself until you free Doug.
Bumblebee doan get banned! And doan firget eet.
Did you ban Spacemonkey, Rightwingduck, laurence, and Cadet Happy also?
Are you slowly trying to take over your own blog? Are you learning lessons from Hugo and Mugabe?
Nope. Not banned.
Looks like I haven’t been banned either.
I guess it means I’ve got nothing to blame but my own laziness for lack of comments.
Not banned (yet) unless you count the smoke that came out of my computer the last time I tried visit the KOS. $200 / 2 week mistake.
