Banning a member

[repete]

I am going to drop this here to see if Hay Dude takes his comment back about particular people being absent from this thread.

No, taking “dumps” on our threads!

Good morning. I'm back in before the lock.

Which lock, closing the thread or you getting banned?

I still feel bad about responding to someone I know I should not have :-(
But seeing so many links to nonsense just got me on a bad day.
I still have not put anyone on ignore, sometimes we learn something new , doesn't mean we have to agree with them on other subjects.
I learn a lot on here and try to help others.
But sometimes I have to spend more time on the delete response and move on track.

I have nobody on ignore. It's the internet...the whole idea is to be in the train wreck...then just respawn.

Now I'm getting paranoid,
especially because I have no clue to who in the heck your talking about.
Years ago I had a few guys "ignored" but learned that just like life, you learn what to expect out of people and don't be surprised when you see it.

Don't you hate it when your neighborhood has a meeting about the troublesome neighbor and you're not invited?

sending you a pm Rusty

My "neighborhood" consists of den's and nests and the deer, moose and 'yotes are like cowboys, they'll bed down anywhere.

What if this thread is a setup meant to draw us out.
Sorta like when the cops send out prize winner notifications to people with warrants.
Then bust them when they show up.

What if it’s about YOU

Shhhh, don’t tell him.

What if it’s about YOU

On any given day it could be about any of us. Most of us regular posters do ruffle some feathers on some topics. It’s ok to disagree and argue your opinion. As long as personal attacks are left out of the discussion. Those are never ok.

I’m even okay with personal attacks as long as you have data and are willing to have a discussion about it. If we don’t ruffle feathers or get ours ruffled have we really challenged our own beliefs and reasoning?

We can vehemently disagree about issues, but I don’t think personal insults are ever ok. Those are the only people I ignore.

This is where one might get in trouble by either the recipient has a very thin skin or actually misinterpreted a poorly written comment that was intended to be a joke.

It seems (to me) that our collective skin has become nearly translucent.

The subject at hand isn’t neccessarily hurt feelz. It’s multiple popular threads being closed because a single member gets folks worked up enough they start coloring outside the lines. Unprovoked a lot of those threads would probably still be going just fine.

I have been informed by a secret source of the name of the accused.
My take is I know what to expect, I usually skip reading much of it. But I have developed a picture in my mind of this little old man. He doesn't have much to do (or can do) and his little bit of research, cutting/pasting and composing his part probably filled his morning time until its lunch.
I'm good with that.

This is a good point, the 6 wheel dude doesn't really attack anyone, he just annoys the bejabbers out of everyone who doesn't put him on ignore list. Annoying probably isn't worthy of banishment. Sort of like petty theft doesn't get you life.

If you still don't have some people on your ignore list, you are a better person than I. If you don't have them on ignore and you still complain about them, then you are just a dumber person than I.
