I would. Hell, I'd sing it from the mountain tops.

For that, I have a great deal of respect for you.

I'm glad that's in writing as you may well be the only one who does (and that includes my wife and kids).

Hold up, you mean I can get banned here? Crap, Ive been doing some major slacking off. If some of my old comrades from other boards find out that Ive been a member here for almost a year and havent been banned even once, I'll be a laughing stock.

So who's sister do I have to knock up to get suspended around here?

You know darn well that most of us actually like to drama of a good heated flame war. This forum is the last couple of months was like an accident scene that was gruesome, yet we all slowed down to watch it and hoped that something even better was about to happen.

It's been suggested that our general behavior is unbecoming to the entire industry. Maybe it is, but I'd wager that in any given time, somewhere in cyberspace there's a member of darn near every occupation who's behaving badly.

Now then......

I've commented privately before that I appreciated Daniel's hands-off style of government. I really can't stand forums that are run like Communist China. I'm all about letting the people duke it out until the last person is standing and I'm a fan of debate, even if the debate turns childish and nonsensically, when in doubt, I'll side on the side of free speech.

However.....

Several people brought Daniel into the middle of this thing, pissed him off, and now we have THIS.

Several of my friends, all good people, have been banned, and several more have quit. All because of what?

Now we're teetering on the edge of an RC vs IP war, which is just plain silly. Without Remote Central, there would be no Integration Pros, and never once did Daniel ever call out anyone for advertising IP on his site. This place is ground zero of the big bang that brought me together with a lot of really good people; many of whom I've become close friends with, some of whom I've gone on to work with and several whom I talk to almost every day.

Now were all fighting, but why? Because of one particular dilrod who comes here and winds up starting WWIII?

From my understanding the police were involved at some point. Can you imagine what they were thinking being involved in something like this...

I think we all need to synch our decoder rings and update the secret handshake so that we just don't respond to inflammatory posts. I know it's easy to say and...blah blah blah........

Nothing to laugh about Stan.


Those times when you posted some nasty things about Alan and 2nd Rick, you should, or could, have been banned/suspended.


Would that have been funny?

Oh God here we go again.... American vs. Canada......


I can't find the one were he was talking about US being
a party on the fist floor and Canada being on the second
floor looking down all pissed. I think it was off his
live on Broadway very funny skit!

and right side of the boarder.... depends on what way
you are looking! If you look from the pac ocean... I am
on the RIGHT side of the boarder... SO THERE!

Did I just get banned?

You should get banned, EH for posting that link and admitting you have a Canadian Brother in-law. ;-0

Ban Snap, Ban Snap let anarchy rein!

(comments like that will probably get ME banned, EH)

When someone, even just one person comes to this site flinging SHit, that tends to make the whole group stink. Daniel, I just wished the offenses could have been stopped earlier. Now you will have to get a whole case of Clorox cleanup. I will miss some of those who were banned and your decisions are understandable. What if I were a paid advertiser on this site? Would I want to continue?

I am glad Daniel has decided to look for moderators, but from past experience, those not chosen wisely can have catastrophic effects as well.
I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

I agree - I have often been impressed with the amount of restraint DT has shown and this place is where it all started and I'm very appreciative of RC. It has saved my arse a bunch of times. RC was the first industry web site that became a required stop for all of us. I suppose some would argue AVS but that site became a train wreck long before Stanley arrived here.

Aw, cmon... 2nd Rick pretty much all but abandoned this site and moved "over there".


Those times when you posted some nasty things about Alan
and 2nd Rick, you should, or could, have been banned/suspended.

I was young and foolish. I also had been attacked pretty nastily FIRST by those two. I was just standing my ground, and I did apologize.


Would that have been funny?

If I got suspended? Mmmmm I'm sure a few of you would think so. And no, that would mean I might have to direct the time I spend online here at something like, marketing my business, vacuuming my apartment or flossing or learning French or something like that.

It's just that 2nd was always so righteous around here, that I am laughing more at the irony of his getting suspended, and the fact that he apparently went over the line with Daniel who is a pretty mellow and fair moderator.

I'm sure he'll be back sooner or later when the dust settles.

I've tried to be on better behavior the last 6 to 8 months or so, and especially after realizing it generally works better to be nice than a jerk, but if someone is abusive or attacks another member, and constantly insults or puts that member down publicly - I think we all have enough free-will to at least stand up for ourselves as long as we don't go overboard like, what happened with "Ddarche".

I wrote to 2nd and Alan, after trying to look at matters from their sides of the fence... One of them responded back in a positive (forgiving) manner the other didn't, but hey that's life. Can't please everybody all the time.

You know what Bette Midler used to say: "If they can't take a joke - "f"-em".
