We're all human, but on the internet much less so.

I don't think I've ever been called an ass latching troll or nit, but if what I've stated in this thread makes me one or both then so be it.

A friend was called a vile pr*** after being banned, with no way to respond on the board. That may be Leon's opinion of him, but it's not mine, in fact just the opposite. There are people that don't know Rob on here and may take his opinion as gospel, so I was just stating my opinion of Rob and his character from my experiences. I don't seem to be alone in my opinion.

I don't think I have latched on to anyone's ass, but you are certainly free to see it differently.

And you still haven't been called a troll or a nit. I responded to your comment - I did not make a comment about you personally. Re-reading my response and then your recent one, I still have no idea how you made that leap.=

My mistake Scott, I just interpreted it wrong. I apologize.
Happy 4th of July.

I think my major take away from this thread is that I may need to re-consult my Encyclopedia Brittanica re: how a caste system functions.

Who knew peasants had such arbitrary power in the face of the wants of the majority.

Have a happy/safe July 4th, n54ers!

Happy 4th to you as well. I am going to celebrate by not reading any internet discussion forum posts for the rest of the weekend.

thread saddens me.....

I hate discontent!

Leon must have a great reason for the banning....Rob did poke fun at me about my enthusiasm a lot, but I just chalked it up to him being a "pxxx"........because he was to me, a real "pxxx" but I let by- gones be by- gones..I just gave it back to him full force when he did....he never really could get a good come back on me, so I held my own when it came to Rob.....I'm sure he had his highs and lows......but I have to back Leon on this......I'm sure Rob must've stepped outta line too far this time for some reason and Leon had enough....

I know Leon must have a good reason for this ban and I have to truly stand behind Leon on this....

but I'm a sucker and a Libra......so I hope Rob and Leon work out any issues they have.....and, if Rob did step too far out of line, he should man up and apologize and move on.......I know Leon is a stand up guy and doesn't arbitrarily ban members without good cause.....

learn and grow from this......hopefully it will get ironed out and you will be allowed to return...

I WOULD BE TORTURED WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO READ CONTRIBUTE HERE!

I had a major problem with the way he treated you a few times. His thinly veiled and continuing insults, towards many members, are the reason for my distaste for him. His humor, at the expense of others, often times isn't very funny. I can take the veiled insults thrown my way, let most go when thrown at others....but when he screwed up the New Pick Ups thread with his joke...well, I had enough. But if you are good Johnny, so be it, if he wants to come back he can.
