This is really ditrubing. I don't remember in the Rules or user agreement anywhere that by becoming a member, you sign away your first amendment rights on the WWW. That is what you are saying. If you feel he disrespected you there, take the fight there, but don't use your position here to get revenge. This is round two of "taking precautionary measures" against a threat that doesn't exist. In the last one we lost Traveler, Monkey Hanger, and others. We are all big boys aren't we? If he said something about you, deal with it one on one. Don't drag your buds into the fight and justify banning him because he chooses to speak his mind on the WWW, which I am pretty sure he is allowed to do.

Have not seen the specific offending posts, But do think you should try a bit more than that. He is young, you are the older wiser one, and the moderator, no?

Why are you guys so darn angry? The admins didn't do anything wrong, they just simply want an apology.

Hell, if somone begins to talk behind my back in real life, I expect an apology and explanation too.

Why should this be tolerated? A simple sorry is all the admins want. It makes total sense. There are many cases where somone would say something like what FB said, stress, under the influence of drugs, or whatever, but they did not mean it. In these cases, you just apologize and move on. I don't see what the big fuss is about? All the staff wants is an apology, if I was FB and said that I'de apologize. I don't know, but if I was FB I wouldn't be able to live without abxzone for more then a day. Even if I was disrespectful and bad mannered now, I'de sleep it off and probably wake up the next day ready to apologize and accept the facts.

I have no more to say on this subject. When FB decides to be a man and apologize to those he slurred behind their backs, he will be welcome back here again. And, to repeat, he is not banned.

I'm going to bed. Good night.

I have never called another member here an obscene name, I have never disrespected another member behind their backs, I have never flamed anyone no matter how stupid there questions may have been, and I have spent 2 years here helping whenever I could. Do you really think that simply because I have a "postition of power" here that that makes it OK for someone to take shots at me, and others like me, behind my back? That somehow that makes it a proper thing to do? I don't think so, and I sincerely hope that the rest of the members here don't think that way either.
I agree with you, but again it did not happen on this site. What happens on this site should be punishable and not hold people hostage as to what goes on other sites. It's like if I was to call Clinton or Bush An Ahole or something. Just because I did doesn't give them the right to throw me in jail or have me deported.

I for one have found your posts helpful as well as FB's. Just because words are said out of anger or frustration on another site doesn't warrant this punishment I think. I know you Mods are in a hard spot with this, but why not ask the members what we think on something like this too? I'm just glad that we can have the chance to atleast respond to this.

A healthy discussion is a good thing. Keeping quiet as if nothing happened and as if the person never existed is not healthy.

I think *everybody* should get to bed and stop debating this. Talking about it just gets everybody worked up. Please *everybody* (me, FB, mods, members, everybody) give some hours to chill out and come back to it fresh.

again rightly said Arutha, you cannot decide what a person should say somewhere else. If that person says someting on this site then i agree with u PCB that he should be given a harsh punishment
And if this is to be everyone who ever says something about Bush will be dead in next few days wouldn't he?

one more thing...

even if FB apologizes it will only be because he is being forced to in order to get out of the "penalty box"...will the offended mods really feel better after that or is it more of the principle of the apology?...I would rather get a sincere apology rather then a forced conditional apology

OK, I just read the HORRID dialouge. Man, I don't think I could sleep tonight if that was said about me! If that is all it was, then people really need to grow thicker skin. I have been called much worse, and by people who like me! Seems a little silly and playgroundish to let name calling be this big a deal, WHEN IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SITE! I happen to know where he was posting, so I found it. I doubt the average person would go there, so your reputation here wasn't damaged at all. The same can't be said for the resulting drama.

If he is not banned then why is his posts deleted? You need to take responsibility of your position, not hide under the bed sheets.
