“Operator, Information—give me Jesus on the line.My mother used this number, when I was very small,And every time she dialled it, she always got a call.So Operator, Information—give me Jesus on the line.”
I haven’t thought about that song for what? 40 years?
If you want GC to make my Comments visible within the strip again, please use http://www.gocomics.com/help/contact to make it known.If you see this within the strip, the issue has been resolved — thank you if you played any part in that.Since @SwimsWithSharks (no hard feelings) and @SusanSunshine summarized on 2/24 pretty much what I said in an earlier post, I won’t repeat it.But @pcolli said on 2/24:All the “Banned” have to do is re-join with a different name and e-mail address.Oh, how I wish it was that easy, or perhaps I don’t completely understand what you’re saying. Or perhaps what you say was once true, but not anymore.The first thing I did, after being alerted to the banning by @vldazzle‘s post on 2/15, was create a second GC account, with a different ID, and under a different e-mail address. What I discovered was: if I posted a Comment as the new ID, it couldn’t be seen by mabrndt, just like what I posted as mabrndt, couldn’t be seen by the new ID. The new ID is somehow also banned (without anyone Flagging anything).To test that, I posted a Comment using the new ID here (none there before), and asked if others could see it, and if they could, just repost my Comment as proof. 2 members tried and left Comments there, none of which included my Comment — I guess that proves my new ID is also banned. Thanks to those who participated (some of which may not have left Comments).
I just hoped YOU wouldn’t be hurt by the photo. I only saw that on the small screen and res was nowhere that good. I DID write to moderator right before I posted a message on DS (because that is the most interactive of all the toons I read here (30 or so, as they don’t always update some).
The cloud was the first thing I though of, beat me by 10 hours.I emailed Gocomics about reinstating mabrnt.Hope some of you do the same for me someday.
If we’re talking the Holy Trinity, then we have Jesus and three others. Who is the fourth? My guess is that it’s God the father’s illegitimate son, Frank.
Please restore @Mabrnt. He has ben a pleasant recourse for followers of “that is Priceless”. I don’t remember him ever attacking any other posters or saying anything of questionable content. If any of his links were copyright protected i am sure that it was done with intent to do any harm.If he was banned becouse of @Swims \With Sharks flagging him for spam, “swims” has already admitting that it was a mistake.Please don’t let a no tolerance or letter of the law policy remove a service, that is free to you and a help to your customers, go by the wayside.thank you.@noicantspell Hallford
The three guys on the ground are SO melodramatic !!! No doubt they’re from the Charlton Heston school of posturing … or should that be posing? certainly NOT acting.
