Oh...news to me.

BigBo · 03-08-2008, 08:44 PM

I just read on the RI forum of the "other board" where he claims he got banned here.

eastendlu · 03-08-2008, 08:52 PM

Just saw the post also.

Raider Ronnie · 03-08-2008, 08:56 PM

This guy has some issues going on!
Starts crap here, then goes on SOL and starts a tread announcing that he got banned here !

JohnR · 03-08-2008, 09:21 PM

Couple things.

For starters, banned or not (which I will get into in a moment), it does absolutely no good to go and keep up the attacks on him or from him. So please, lets give that a rest.

I asked Bill what I should do in his case based on the amount of trouble that goes down, both the trouble caused by him and the trouble directed at him - sometimes justified and sometimes not. I asked him what I should do because things could not continue the way they were going. He suggested that banning him for a while would be the right way to go. A difficult decision for both of us I am certain but I put up with a lot more because of him and by him, as as other members and the moderators here, than necessary. Not fair and not fun. But his suggestion and I agreed.

So, don't let Bill get everyone all hot and bothered that he is getting "censored" for his opinions as he is not. He is having his posting privileges indefinitely removed. Subtle difference but there is a difference. He is no longer posting due to the fights and antics that goes down. Not as he states, his opinion.

It is not his "opinions" getting banned or censored. Nor is it, as he states "I guess its only a certain few who are allowed to have opinions anyway, thats that". We probably under censor here to a fault. So again - it is not "opinions" but the personal attacks that causes a lot of the unneeded flame wars to break out. It is the the fights and the attacks. And that cuts both ways, just because he is not posting here, it does not mean that it is OK to take shots at him.

In a nutshell, the personal attacks stop now. This winter has been a lot crappier than it needed be and I am personally sick of it.

Your the boss ;;

I may noY agree with everything or everyone >. buts that,s natural / between people / especially a bunch of half/crazed fishermen that are on the dowmside of a long winter ;;

I,m 100% behind you John /as far as /he has no priviliges & can,t defend himself ;;
So IMO you can like or dislike anyone / but name calling / bashing / putting down /or any other way you want to call it >>of a person >.no matter who it is / S/B reason for immediate loss of priviliges // && that,s towards someone that can respond .. but even the idea to start trashing someone /no matter who ..that has no right to reply or defend themselves only shows everyone on the site //// active & lurkers ?>>>>>>>>>>>>...who the real ass . hol es are :;;;

PS >.I gues s some people don,t have mirrors or memories // or is it that they choose to judge others & not themselves ;;;

this use to be a fun site :::: Bigger isn,t always better //
damn shame too /;

Mike,

i believe that bart was giving a timeline example
of the progression of a majority of Bill's posts and
chronically his most recent affronts to this site.

i don't think that he thinks you were attacking him.
carry on, gentlemen

bart · 03-09-2008, 02:56 AM

actually you are right on the money, BD. and i appreciate that coming from you seeing how we have some history

ps. if you're wondering why i'm up at this ungodly hour, i have to give my mother a ride to TF Green at 430. haven't slept all night

MartinD18 · 03-09-2008, 07:09 AM

Know whats funny here and people tend to forget? Guess what. This (and all) internet forums are PRIVATELY OWNED enterprises. John pays for the bandwidth. The 1st amendment and the Bill of Rights don't apply. Go stand on a street corner and rave at the people walking by if you want to exercise those rights. Or pay for your own site where you can rave all you want. John has the right to ban or take down any BS posted here at his discretion. End of story.

5/0 · 03-09-2008, 08:59 AM

It's been a long winter,a bit to long if you ask me

....It's time to get back out there and fish.

JohnR · 03-09-2008, 09:35 AM

Guys, gals, and bivalve molluscs - What I really mean here is that all of the personal attacks stop. You want to debate someone's opinion - go nuts. You want to argue a topic? That's what we are here for. Just please do it with a little respect - I'm not saying everyone needs to be Cumbaya - but do it in a way without dragging the other person over a bed of glass...

Thank you kind and knowledgeable netizens of S-B (yes, that was lame

)

i apologize >. Me off . airport .should have stopped in for coffee

fishaholic18 · 03-09-2008, 10:42 AM

What I see is a bunch of f^%$# cry babies, grow some shoulders guys..WTF!! Never seen anything like it.. Maybe because I worked in garages all my life..Ball busting was a daily occurrence.. We actually had fun with it...Stop taking everything personal..Lighten up..Have some fun with it..Life is short.. I don't take this internet sh!t personal, and I've had my share of personal attacks on this site, I don't hold it against anyone..In person..I bet most guys on this site would act different..I've met a lot of people from this site and 99.9% were good/normal people..Made some good friends even, some are guys that I had gone back and forth with on the site in a "so called" flame war in the past (#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& being one of them) and we became good friends... We are all people here..We all have our differences..We all disagree on certain things (sh!t, I even disagree with my wife sometimes.

)..What I guess I mean is..we shouldn't judge people by what is said on the net (it's too easy to type whatever you feel like and hit "ENTER")...They are usually much different in person..from my experiences anyways...Peace!

Is it spring yet?

piemma · 03-09-2008, 11:18 AM

So I suppose I will be the next guy banned. After all, I stick up for Billl. I share his views and opinions and I, like him, don't suffer fools very well.

You know as a Vet I get a hair across my A$$ every time one of these cry babies start with this "he dissed me" crap.

I suspect that the cry babies never served our country, never mind went into combat.

I think all the weiners should grow a pair of balls.

Suggestions to make this site better?
