two names come to mind
one of those from upstairs is known to be a snitch... just saying

it was'nt the bycycle thread that did it,it may have broke the camels back,but im not putting money on it.
remember i was in that thread too so maybe i should feel guilty as well.
but i dont,because i dont think thats the reason.

there were a couple posts of his that included profanity in them that were deleted last week,im sure mounting presses of the report button wore thin on his status.

there were also a few more post he made that i refused to respond to yesterday or last night(like 4 in a row) and one of them was really un neccessary.

we all make mistakes,i do all the time.
ive had more than a few run ins with bub in the last 2 or 3 weeks that im sure contributed to his demise.
but we all make choices to say things.or not say things.sometimes even push the envelope.

i used to get along really well with bub,but it seemed like he started going out of his way just to disagree with me,who knows maybe he was just holding his tongue and had enough so it began to speak his mind.

i did my best to avoid him,and i very well probably should have minded my own buisiness yesterday,but when i saw that thread was over and done a day ago and he wrote that one post that infuriated me.so i responded at first with dignity,it wasnt a hate post,it was a plea to let go,for those of you who read it..then you know.
the next one however had an incline.

im sorry but i dont think the cyclist thread was what got him banned.
there are 100's of threads just like that in this forum.
maybe i missed something but it was a heated debate,thats it.

Listen, guys. I'm sorry. I should have just ignored him. I really hope this doesn't turn into a circus. It was just an argument between me and Bub and it never should have happened. 

Peace.

Guys, I don't post a lot here but I have been spending more and more time here over the past couple months. I have found many times that the things Bub said really put me off. However since I have not been a 'regular' here, I kept my mouth shut. I missed the thread you guys are referring to so I cannot speak to it, but we all have the ability to make that final decision on what we do and say, and ultimately we must be accountable for those things. The past week or so I thought Bub had cooled off a bit and was adding constructive comments. Apparently that changed. Charlie/Beep, you guys can't take on the responsibility for this outcome. just my .02. I'll go back into the woodwork now. Sorry if I spoke out of turn on this, but I was moved to do so. Dave

dang firefox and word wrapping!!! visual nuisance.

Charlie had nothing to do with it. I've taken responsibility and have done what I can to fix it.

Yeah I noticed! Well, he's got a thick skin, hopefully he'll be back.

But how on Earth can a thread about bicycles lead to a ban????? I would take Bub for one who is overly passionate about bicycling...

  
  Sorry to hear that. I know there are run ins here and there, I mean, no one agrees with everyone on everything.

 Beep I'm not really even sure what you and Bub were into but I wouldn't feel bad about it. I know name calling (unless in jest) is frowned upon here. I did see a few places where that happened and he was serious I think.

 I don't like to see anyone personally insulted or called names just because they disagree with an opinion. I would never report anyone though and I don't think anyone here would do that. We usually have  ways of fixing these kinds of things like adults.

Been a lot of arguments lately.

We may have to resurrect the Walmart Smackdown if it carries on.
