Bring him back.

Plain ol' Joe is a good guy. He never did anything I ever saw as anything but expression of opinion. Is there something wrong with that? He may have made a few jibes, but there are people here who make hateful and insulting remarks in nearly every post and I can not understand the logic if any exists in the events taking place here lately.

Dennis is good with me, and I don't know all of it, but, I am beginning to wonder if this place is also media controlled of late. Too many bannings, and too many people leaving, makes me wonder what the hell is really going on here. I do not feel that this place is family anymore. It feels more like a police state, and you know how I feel about that. It won't shut me up, no. You administrators better start to think things through, because throwing people off the forum left and right just because of something they said elsewhere, or if they are brave and forthright enough to say it to your faces, doesn't really speak well of yourselves or your forum. I feel so sad. I like this place, but, I'm seriously beginning to wonder why.

Closed. Please keep rant threads off Main

Joe was removed for a number of reasons. He'd been to TO, warned, been to TO, warned, etc, etc. We'd allowed him to get away with far more than we should have BECAUSE we felt he was a good guy. However, he was engaged in activities of late that simply couldn't be ignored. Unfortunately, he'd used up his "get out of jail free" cards a LONG time ago, and he was well aware of that fact. I sent him a personal email (that was before I learned that he'd threatened my life) expressing my personal regret that he'd been banned.
