Have you ever been banned from Craig's list?

Oh dear, banned... from Craig's list?    I think a complete self-reflection of one's very life is in order here.

Have you ever been banned from craigslist?
   

 
For some reason, I haven't been able to access craigslist for two days now. I read somewhere that they sometimes ban people for three days, or thirty days for infractions.

I can't imagine what would be my infraction. I did have an email exchange last weekend with some nut who had been emailing my disabled niece and found her home location via craigslist because we were participating in a neighborhood garage sale. I told him if he contacted her again I would notify the police.

Maybe he made up some sort of bogus craigslist complaint against me?

It's a pain not to have it, as I am apartment hunting.

Yes, I am sure he tried to settle a disagreement in that very reasoned, principled, and calm tone that all primitives are known for.   :rotf:


What really happened involved the flailing arms, spittle flying from the mouth, froth at the corners of the mouth, and the whites of the eyes riddled with exploding blood vessels.  This email was forwarded from the original receiver to craigslist, and he was banned.  Mystery solved.

Oh my.

The grasswire primitive's still apartment-hunting?

I thought for sure she'd get some of that Section 8 housing, but maybe they don't have that in an affluent suburb of Portland, segregating the poor elsewhere.

Wouldn't an e-mail have to be forwarded? and if so how can a person lie about what was said in an e-mail? I can't imagine them taking someone's word for it without proof at all.

Well, now I'm confused about something else.

The grasswire primitive doesn't need to do apartment-hunting using craigslist exclusively.

She can buy the local newspaper, make a few telephone calls, spread her need by word-of-mouth.

There's plenty of options in real life; one doesn't always have to use the internet.

Well, you have to remember that DUmmy grasswire is being evicted from a former friend's bonus room. She was planning to
sleep on the floor of the abandoned bodega that she wanted to turn into a pie shop, with zero startup capital. That fell through,
for some unfathomable reason, so now she's getting close to becoming the DUmp's bobbolink, jr.

The type of accommodations grasswire needs may not, uh, be advertised in the newspaper, or in those fancy little apartment hunter
booklets you see in restaurants and hotel lobbies. What she needs used to be called a flop.

Use the following websites, DUmmie.

http://www.rent.com
http://www.apartments.com

You should be safe.  I do not think you can be banned from those sites.

My account was disabled on Kijiji after I offered to take care of peoples pets after the rapture happened in may.

I though a non-refundable 1500$ per pet before the rapture was reasonable...Kijiji did not.  :popcorn:

She was planning to give away the part with the neatly arranged berries to bureaucrats from the health department and building inspector's office.
The crummy, messy part would be sold at an exorbitant price to run-of-the-mill Oregon moonbats.
But all that was before the whole goofy pie shop thing collapsed under the weight of reality.
You just can't open a pie shop while the rich are inadequately taxed.

I wouldn't know about these things but I guess it's possible to get a mismatch when you ask for no strings attached sex on craigslist.

You are right, it does look like a child made it.  To me, the pictured pie shows absolutely no pride in ownership.  The only thing about pies that I am good at is eating them, but I can tell you, if I was trying to open up a pie shop and knew that I was going to have my picture taken with one of my creations, I would make sure it was the best looking doggone pie I ever made.  Then, I would try to make them all look that good every time I made another one.

That poor pie looks like someone with strawberry influenza sneezed all over the top of it.

Exactly. And that was the one she chose to feature in the newspaper article. Imagine what the ones she passed over must look like.

Quite a find, GOBUCKS!  My hat's off to you.  

My thinking exactly:  You're going to get in the paper with a pic?  Your product has to be outstanding, no less.  Her pie looks like she dumped a Cool Whip tub into a pie plate, and then did that "thing" with the strawberries.  

The article says that she will give the pie away for free to teachers and public servants.  The public servants who make $150,000 need free stuff?  God she's a retard.  

ETA, I did that Google maps peeping Tom thing, the corner of Oak Grove Blvd and Arista is a dump.  Looks like there are cheerless storage buildings on a vacant street.  Even if she ever got something off the ground, she wouldn't get any traffic.  Link
