With the return of the "hall monitor" and self announced "in crowd" members sending me harrassing unsolicited PM's this is my last post. Tomas I wish you well but your Board has been hijacked by minimum consumers of sponser services which has and will impede continued business growth!

Not quite sure what or who you are referring to, but as always any type of unsolicited posts and or PM problems simply need to be be brought to my attention and they will be handled.
I can't fix what I'm not aware of nor can I remove those who bother you without being it brought to my attention.

Any website is only as good as the ability to police what is made aware of.

To those sending harrassing PM's: What type of loser do you have to be to send harrassing PM's to other members because of something they wrote on an internet forum? Seek professional help. Seriously guys, do you really have no life to a point where writing PM's is not a waste of your time?

And to ZB3, brotha you gotta grow a thicker skin. Sticks and stones. Just read, laugh at, and delete PM's from these fools. There's a friends and foes feature on this forum and I think there's a way to specific members from writing you.

Also, why not post the handle of the person who is harrassing you. Don't post the message (against forum rules), but I believe there is no rule against posting the handle/name of the person. Once they know that they're not as anonymous as they thought, they will smarten up and start acting like phucking adults.

Send Admin the PM's and let him handle it. If you do nothing except leave the board you will only encourage them to continue their boorish behavior. You are most likely not the only member to have received unwanted communication from them and perhaps your posting this will lead to others advising Admin of their experience and he can take the necessary steps to eliminate the problem..

Before others jump in and worry about the health and wellness of our poor victim, I will out myself as one his "harrassers." Since he used the plural, I am sure there are others- perhaps they will pipe up as well to provide some context for how he has been so horribly mistreated.

So, there are a few rules to the forum that some of us find important for the functioning of the board. They are not our rules, but they are Admin 1s. In fact, both Orange and Irish above have pointed out violations of the rules in the forum (i.e no personal attacks). For instance, I think it is fair to say that many of us have little tollarance for discussing illegal activities, don't take well to pedophiles, and prefer that political dicussions don't occur. Regardless, these are the rules that Admin 1 set out.

So, a few days ago, our poor victim posts something to the effect that one poster gave him hope, unilike Obama. It was out of the blue, from left field, and is the type of political dig that has no place on this board. It is only divisive, and even if you disagree, it is still against the rules.

Out of respect, instead of sending a message to Admin 1, I respectfully suggested that such posts do nothing for the board, and are against the rules (our victim is more than glad to send my post to Admin 1 to confirm the tone). He then sends me a post that was rude, disrespectful (his choice), but then with some not so hidden threats (again, he can forward these to Admin 1 for confirmation). I then responded in less than kind manner about the basic uselessness of his posts (and for this you can do a quick search yourself). Not kind of me, but not without provocation or validity.

So, in truth, I don't give a shit about anyone's politics here. I have no great love the above mentioned politico that was menteiond, but that is not the point. The point is that this is a board with a specific purpose, and yes, some of use do make comment when the rules are violated from time to time. Too bad if someome has to get so sensitive to this, and can't man up and just accept the feedback. I have gotten feedback from others here as well- its part of life and being part of a community together. The no political discussions rule is there for a reasons, and it is a wise reason. There are many, many political board- I am even a member of a very heated one. Still, no use for it here.

So, if the origional poster wants to take his toys and go home, groovy. I find little actionable, useful or helpful materials in his posts, but that is just my opinion- I am sure that others would say the same about my posts.

Or, maybe he can just start making some useful posts that actually provide useful information and leave the political digs aside and the backhanded threats out of things.

haha Oh yeah, this one is going to fun to keep an eye on....

This post is what all the fuss is about :

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=40334&p=456941#p456941

A minor reference was made - hardly a huge political diatribe.

C'mon guys - While Zunbake's posts do not rise to the level of mine for example - they don't have my style, humor, wit, knowldege, experience etc - they are certainly not political nor offensive - put another way, there are far more clueless posters out there. Plus one small post in the last 3 months - you've got a better chance of seeing Jesus than me going back over all of Zunbake's 500++ posts, but I can speak for those since Jan '12 - and all I saw was the one post I referenced above.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion(s); the main reason for banning political discussions on CRT is you never see "Road to Damascus" conversions - you never see a conservative say to a Liberal - "Shucks, 'ole buddy - I have been wrong for 50 years and you convinced me ......" (or vice versa)

Plus its boring - but not as boring as discussing whether to pay cien or not

I really see this as true tempest in a teapot - and as I so often do, agree with Orange - OTOH, no one should have to put up with a personal troll regarding PM's

How ironic on Dia del Hombres such a display of womanly behavior

This is my last post too. I'm tired of it all. And please do not PM me begging me to stay as I have come to terms with my decision. Please do not start a poll pondering if I will ever come back ? Please do not take up a collection for my penal implant either, It's actually rock hard, just so small that you'd never of guessed it.

If that was what this was all about then let me tell you something You have got to be kidding me.

We have little to NO DRAMA lately, no personal attacks very little bickering in fact all things considered things are pretty smooth sailing.

Perhaps you should rethink things as if all the fuss was over a small statement like that then you need a new hobby that is simply just plain ridiculous.
