My sister visited here over Christmas, and used my computer. She is banned, and I can only assumed that I am banned as well due to my association with her. I have emailed Ravelry to ask why I can no longer access my projects (and the PDF files I purchased from them). I have received no answer so far. My 13 year old daughter, who is not permitted to visit the forums, and uses Ravelry for finding new toy patterns to make, has been suspended as well. Neither of us needs to be on Ravelry, but some notice, and the opportunity to download the items I have purchased would have been nice. I would love an answer from Ravelry as to why our accounts have been suspended. Until I hear back from them, I will assume it is because we are related to a member whose political views do not 100% mirror the views held by the owner of the site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616676185509169050.post-61531568253112932182009-03-16T21:12:00.000-07:002009-03-16T21:12:00.000-07:00I sent an email to LegalCraig asking about the Rav...I sent an email to LegalCraig asking about the Ravelry button on my blog.

For the few of us in our off-site gathering place at any one time on any one night, 25-40 clicks can't be considered 'disruption' ... the ladies we know and hang with just don't care enough about what the opposition thinks to try to disrupt them. We think it's best to leave them alone to play by themselves and hang out where we're wanted.Diane / "Didi"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00058390910289001993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616676185509169050.post-7596598995857475632009-03-15T16:43:00.000-07:002009-03-15T16:43:00.000-07:00Thanks for telling your side of the story, EllieJa...Thanks for telling your side of the story, EllieJane.

I would see the bannings as a justifiable defense. In my entire life, I have been a very direct person.

So any notion that our off-site board was causing trouble is a lame excuse at best.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623913436571068154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616676185509169050.post-7231778130091814602009-03-15T12:30:00.000-07:002009-03-15T12:30:00.000-07:00That's just it.

Instead he wanted a completely open community. Those never work.Jen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15417887837861675368noreply@blogger.com
