I've been on this site for 8 years now. And Lewdog is the only one I've ever put on ignore. :)

But you did put him on ignore. (not intended as a criticism of you)
That's what the "Ignore" button is for.
If a person finds another so offensive and flame baiting just "Ignore".

I do not use the thing but there are posts and responses I skim over or skip.


I'm not screaming "censorship" or "First Amendment Freedom of Speech" or
anything like that but a person could exercise their own, perhaps, freedom to read
and respond ("Don't Feed the Animals").
Also... the youtube clip of "Lighten up, Francis" tossed in once in awhile.

How about this for food for thought...
On another board I visit, there are only a couple Admins and
they have at times issued "time outs", when people get too far
over the line, usually with the cutting personal insult and childish flame crap.
Ban them for a few days or week or something until the composure returns.

Let's be honest... there are times when stuff is going on off the board or we
post in the heat of the moment and something comes out that should not have.
Also, things can be intended one way (in jest) and interpreted another.
Took me forever to figure out what the little :ph34r: ninja was for.
Perhaps a probationary return.
And ignore the guy or anyone else if you don't like what he is saying.
The flaming and piling on is childish and only makes matters worse.
Anyone seen an entire board go down because of the flaming and flame wars?
I have. You log on and... nothing.
Then everyone on it is left out in the cold going "wha' happened?
Where'd everyone go?"

Come to think of it (and since I'm on a roll)... people have commented on some of the smileys I use

They are a page I bookmarked from an old site that either no longer exists or was so lame and overly censored
everyone left. But the Smiley page remains.

JMHO, but I would favor personal ignoring, ignore button, "time outs", chill out posts from calmer heads, etc.
rather than an outright [img]http://www.nflfans.com/x/images/smilies/banplease.gif[/img]. I mean... [img]http://www.nflfans.com/x/images/smilies/wtf2.gif[/img] ?

End of rant... ice storm outside and I ain't going nowhere for awhile...

I don't care if they ban people or not...
The only person I ever put on ignore was that hanging88 dude(I think that was his name).. He was unbearable...

Will someone tell me what he did?
[/quote]

A month or so ago he was in the Political Forum. Said something to Go (Ryan).
Go banned him. Lewdog sent me a PM telling me about it, asking if he could
come back. I told him it's not my call. He should PM Ryan and talk to him.
That was right before Thanksgiving. Haven't heard from him since.

It's Go's board, ...if he doesn't want him back then that is that.

That said, ...I believe in a "jail" thread (open to anyone to post) to easily petition for reinstatement if you can prove you deserve a second chance.

Al little bit of groveling never hurt anyone, ...a heaping helping of humble pie.

Lewdog had been banned before, years ago under a different name for basically the same shit.. Go gave him a second chance and he kept his act clean for a bit but began a rapid descent into craziness.. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with it, but I know he was threatening posters with suicide for "being mean to him" in the political forum.

I personally thought he probably should have taken a break from here for his own mental health.
