I agree with what was done.

[Capbyrd]

I should add that.... I know what was done, I know why it was done, I know when it was done, I know who it was done to, and I know where it was done... and I know who done it.

And I agree it needed to be done.

.... Just in case anybody was wondering.

J.

But that's just my guess.

David - it's your world. That's fine. I just think we should be fair to BOTH sides. If there is an abundance of "bashing" then sure - ban the person. But maybe - just maybe there is some justification of the "bash".

Any time the unfairness on this site gets to you, the door is right behind you. Use it.

All i will say, this is a nice and very informative board and it is David's and if u dont like the rules then dont come here!

[saintsfanbrian]

The site has gone through a lot of changes since it started. Was a lot more laid back in the beginning.

Sure - people got banned - Rabbi anyone? but it wasn't for the same reasons.

I will probably take your advice but then again. If everyone agrees on everything where are we?

[Guest bkelm18]

We didn't have the numbers back then that we do now. A larger group requires more rigid enforcement of the rules.

[Capbyrd]

I know this has already been said but...

The biggest thing to remember here is that this is NOT a democracy. This is David's site. He opened it up for us. And when we signed up, we agreed to follow certain rules. If we didn't like them, that was our opportunity to leave. As we stick around, rules change or are added and we are notified. We CHOOSE to continue to stay and by doing so, we are agreeing to follow those new rules. If you don't like the rules, leave or contact David and the moderating staff for an intelligent discussion no the matter. Otherwise, you are asking for a ban and that's what he got.

[Fallguy]

LOL...true...as long as the rules are enforced fairly...the don't have to be fair themselves....

The thing with TMMT was not that he made anti LEO statements here and there or posted an anti-LEO article that was in the news, that is ALL he did. It was very clear, his only purpose here was to smear cops, this guy has some type of vendetta against LEO's.

[Guest db99wj]

One of the all time best pictures on the internet.

Makes me hungry.

Thats kinda the thing. One post here, one post there prolly would have gone unnoticed for the most part, but sometimes it was upwards of three a day.

[saintsfanbrian]

I guess I didn't pay enough attention to that one person. It just seems to be a growing trend with people getting nailed with the anti-leo label.

Again - my opinion. That and $1.10 will get you a large soda at McDonald's.

These are not the droids you are looking for and you may go back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Personally I take tea/water/coffee etc to the LEO when they are doing speed enforcement in our neighborhood. I don't have a problem with LEO I just don't think that they should be treated with kid gloves.

[Volzfan]

This place keeps me ROFLMAO and I desperately need that these days! Of course there is a lot of good information too! I'm 52 and learned how to follow rules years ago.

[dralarms]

I agree as well, however I feel that the solution to the "bashing" problem is to post your news article and lock the damn thread. That way people can read what is going on but you don't have the pile on crap going on.

I like that idea. (not that it matters)

That would be a much better option than banning a person for being anti-LEO.

Then again - civil conversation would be the best option.

Everyone needs to remember something they were taught in grade school -

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.

Some one can only make you feel inferior if you let them.

If you are doing your job and doing it to the best of your ability there is no reason why you should be upset when someone points out that one of your co workers is a screw up.

[Smith]

This whole talk of fairness is ignorant. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Fairness isn't making sure there is equal right and wrong. Like David said that is socialism. To be "fair" according to some here there should only be only one person in jail for every person not in jail. Or one white guy for every black guy ect.

I for one like grace and do not want my share of life's "fairness".

[saintsfanbrian]

So it is "wrong" to say something negative about a single LEO that did something wrong?

It is right to get banned for it.

Got ya.

Thanks

Are you not getting it or what?

If you came to my house and started cursing around my wife and/or kids, I'd ask you to stop, if you didn't, I'd ask you to leave. Doesn't matter what you think is proper, civil or otherwise - my house, my rules.

Not sure why you think sharing your opinion over and over matters when the homeowner has already made his wishes clear.

It is if the site owner has REPEATEDLY asked you to stop. Thats the bottom line here. This site belongs to David. He asked politely for no more anti-LEO posts and TMMT couldn't comply. That's it! There is no more discussion necessary.

[Reservoir Dog]

Good riddance! He was nothing but a troll.

See ya!

[Guest Boogieman]

Pancakes for everyone!

Bacon too!

I like waffles but I'll pass on these!

Get yours today!

Lets get back on topic....

I agree. Play by the rules or don't play at all. Simple enough to follow, eh?

[res308]

Alright, dang it! I completely missed this last night. For the record, I do love both bacon and pancakes, and I have no idea what my standing is here, or anywhere else. I try to keep it that way so I can't be held responsible for knowing anything. So, who the @#$%*^&()^&%$ is TMMT, and who got banned?

[saintsfanbrian]

Not sure why you think sharing your opinion over and over matters when the homeowner has already made his wishes clear.

Because the first amendment exists to allow me to share my opinion. Why do you get to share yours over and over? What makes your opinion more important then mine?

It's called a civil discussion. We should be able to have them.

While this is David's forum it is a public forum. Anyone has the ability to join. David wants to get rid of me too? So be it.

I just can't stand protecting someone because of the job they do.

If you don't like it don't listen - ignore me. That's fine by me.

This is a private forum. It requires membership to post. Much like a private club. First amendment rights are not guaranteed here.
