I wrote to Amazon and gave them the links to all the travis tea reviews I could find and asked that they be removed because the Authors were getting upset about it and they are gone...hope I didn't miss any links.

I was thinking today that this board (and the others as
well) remind me of the question: Why did God give
mankind free will? How did it develop?
PA has the good sense to allow us to use the boards
freely, amd when we sometimes abuse the use of the
boards, disciplines us, yet only occasionally bans us
(sends us out of the garden) as punishment; but often if
we ask for a new password, they give it to us.
Have you ever thought about the similarity?
It seems to me to reflect well on the PA administration
team that allows us to use these boards to discuss,
disagree, debate (without spite or hurtful, snide remarks
we would hope) to our betterment.
The above is from the messageboard, and now I guess I'll join in the discussion I avoided...cult.
Just shoot me, for heavens sake, comparing the board to eden, please.
Ok, now I KNOW what you are thinking, and I'm not making fun of the author, this author is a sweetheart if there ever was one, but banning out of the garden? I was banned out of eden? Okay, this is like the editor in my second book who wouldn't correct an error when I was QUOTING the bible, I miss-quoted, and not only that, she did too, only HER miss-quote will be in the book...because she said she was right.
If this isn't the darndest thing I have ever read in my life I don't know what is.
Well, I imagine she thinks it's right, but to liken the three stooges to God, and the message boards as eden...oh go ahead, just shoot me now.
