Participant[quote=IForget][quote=sdduuuude]Sorry brian – I caught that and edited it while you were posting.
It originally said “in favor of brian” then I messed with it and it incorrectly said “in favor of banning brian” – as you quoted it. It reads the way I meant now.
Just note that 49/25 against banning is quite atrocious. Nobody would fare that poorly. The question wasn’t “do you dislike brian” or “do you agree with brian?” or “does brian annoy you a little bit?” it was “should he be banned?” 1/3 think yes.[/quote]
So you want to ban people if only 1/3 of posters are in favor of it? That’s a bit draconian.[/quote]
This is a great example of putting words in someone else’s mouth. You imply that my answer is yes before I can even answer.
Did I ever say that ? No. I did not. So, let me be very clear. If brian can shape up, I’m not in favor of banning him. If he can’t I am in favor of banning him.
Unfortunately for the 2/3 who are not in favor of banning him, there is the 1 vote that matters who just laid down the law and I suspect brian will not be able to contain himself for more than a few days.

The gripe is not with off-topic political threads. It is with thread-jacking of on-topic threads with political posts intended to insite tiresome and poinless “left is better than right” arguments.

Russell, while I am being aggressive in defense of this board, I am far from vindictive.
I perceive brian’s childish “left is better than right” posts as a detriment to this site, which I have been a part of before it was even a paid site. I received a free membership for providing the motto at the bottom of this page over 4 1/2 years ago. I have some right to do some moderation here, or at least to ask the opionion of others.
Not only are brian’s “left/right” posts annoying, but his continual use of strawman argtuements and ability to put words in other people’s mouths makes for discussions that are both pointless and endless, and undermines that same motto.
Make no mistake – my intent is to stop brian from bullying and if I have to bully to do that, I will. Keep in mind, though, I first had to determine if others felt the same as I did so I started the poll. Note – the score was 49 to 25 against banning brian (not that they didn’t like him, but that he be banned!). I challenge you to find anyone who would fare worse than that.
A second intent of mine was to send a clear message to brian that his presence here is not perceived as a good thing by many people and that he needs to change his ways.
Also, I wanted Rich to see this discussion in full view so he could take any action he felt was necessary. Had Rich say “chill out duuuude” then I’d have nothing more to say, but Rich sees a problem and took time to issue a warning.
In the face of this warning, brian proceeded with yet another pointless threadjacking political comment. I agree with the other poster that this is close to a pathalogical problem.
Blaming me for this is like blaming victims for getting robbed. brian has brought this on himself by his own behavior. I am merely highlighting it.
If he continues with the nonsensical political threadjacking of on-topic threads, I will call him out on it until he is gone.
Finally, lets be clear what CDMA Eng said:
[quote=CDMA ENG]Lastly…
I am surprised to see you leading this little insurrecton SDDuuuude…
I know how you feel about particular people on this thread but I always thought you were a little more chill about people flapping your chops. But then again, I know that things can push your button very quickly as well… Like getting sucked out on the river card!
Remind me never to take you to Nicaragua on a bad weekend with a 100 dollars in your pocket. I don’t think that country could take another revolution.
See you at World Cup…

Where, exactly did he ask me to “cool it”? He didn’t. He didn’t even disagree. He just said he was surprised.
No email or other private correspondence was sent to Rich regarding this matter. His observations and actions are his own, as is this site.
