Doc Mercer Revisited...

[BASEHEAD]

Maybe he'd go for it if enough effort were made on a two-sided deal in which he'd have a fair shot at keeping his posting privileges, no?

If you think he'd fail that, at least he'd have been given a fair chance to redeem himself, it would clearly be his own fault, and there would be no blame placed on the Rx.

That's got to be an improvement over banning him without such an opportunity, no?

Darryl...you seem like a reasonable fellow.I think youre just not aware of the layers of shit weve peeled back trying to accomodate Doc.

Personally I was in favor of a 5 thread limit per day in the poli forum....one I and everyone else would have to adhere to.

Ive never said any policy should be one sided....of course everyone should be held to the same standards.

If any "side" here is getting preferential treatment its Docs side....I mean they did let him back in under threats of migration via email.

Docs been given multiple options and refused them all.

Aren't four suspensions, seven+ email warnings, five or so public warnings, and 400+ spam posts dumped to the RR enough?

Well since you put it like that couldn't you just give him one more chance.

[SENDITIN]

So nice to see you back, Sendit. You still owe me an arm wrestle at the Bash...

I think it was a Greco-Roman match...not an arm wrestling event...I'm working out now with a sleeve of EL Fudge Cookies. I see you've been demoted...I mean promoted to moderator. What did you do wrong?
Probably will be back from time to time a little more...got a little tired of seeing 1000 quotes from the Daily Kos.

How's Canada? I bet you didn't expect to find those nasty little terrorists up there too! Wish I could dig up some old posts to bust your chops! Anyhow keep up the good work and I hope your watching O'Reilly now that they're beaming him up there.

Base, I'm not sold on Hieneken light anymore. Sure it is low cal, low carb. But you just can't get a buzz off that stuff. I think Sam Adam's light is tops bro.

I will say it has been fun watching you guys have a 8+ page debate over 1 poster. That's it. No need for me to interject or instigate anything here, you guys are on your own.

You mean those home-grown guys we arrested? Those guys too stupid not recognised they were being set up (how else can you get 3 tons of ammonium nitrate if not through the feds.) Every new thing I read about these idiots confirms they were beyond stupid.

Anyway, we caught our terrorists. And we didn't need to invade any countries to do it. Ah, law enforcement over military action. Look THOSE posts up, while you're digging.

Great post Rob.

Split the Pol. forum into two rooms one for left leaning threads and one for the right. It would be interesting to see how long it takes the righties (who couldn't even handle Doc on ignore) to come into Doc's threads.

Then we will find out who just wants to start trouble.:nopityA:

I see no one is serious about finding the real bad apples.

Or maybe two forums, one for each side, would be pointless? You will get no debate that way, and what about all of those who don't fall into either category?

Speaking of not reading people's posts ...

People could freely interact in both until they are bad and then they would be restricted to one and finally, none. That way, good discussion until someone acts up and then they would be punished accordingly.

This is a gambling forum. We should be happy to have ONE forum dedicated to politics.

Out of every single idea posted, this is the worst one by far.

Rob Im a green bean man through and through.HL would be a good beach drink....dont want to get too drunk in the midday sun.They are very light and do not pack a punch.Im glad you could at least get them out in Oxford.

Robby if a mod cant refrain himself from "injecting" a 8000 word off topic spam into the forum what hope do the mods have of gaining cred bro?

 

[DarrylParsons]

Already been done. Not sure how many times a person needs to be suspended before you can truly agree that they've been given ample opportunity to improve and keep their posting priviledges. Aren't four suspensions, seven+ email warnings, five or so public warnings, and 400+ spam posts dumped to the RR enough?

Maybe. But then why are we here with a vote that's anything but unanimous?

I was aware it might not look good. But I couldnt help it considering senditin was joking about OJ being a conspiracy. Please dont look at it like I'm trying to tell you OJ was a conspiracy and its so important I must spam you with it. It was in good fun. I goggled OJ+Conspiracy and that is what I came up with.

As a matter of fact, I will just put a link instead it is too much clutter.

So Afghanistan wasnt an invasion? Just Iraq? Got it

Most of the people in here never cross over into sports and/or bookmaking anyhow - if that's how you feel- get rid of it ! Nothing has ever been resolved in the political forum nor will it while people will never admit they were wrong. :toast:

Oh there will be debate cause the little whinners will be in Doc's thread in a heartbeat.

Well, ok, if it's all been hashed through before then I can't really add much except to say that it's odd that it's not more one-sided than the poll shows and that we shouldn't really be here deliberating on the issue.

 

[xpanda]

You'll have to ask his supporters that. Why do they still support him despite all of the above?

(My theory: he posts enough to balance and/or drown out the right ... the left doesn't have to do as much work with Doc in the picture. Jinn said as much a week ago.)

 

[xpanda]

So Afghanistan wasnt an invasion? Just Iraq?

According to the news reports up here, we caught these idiots in Toronto and Mississauga. I'm not sure what you're reading in the US. Did Fox tell you they were all in Afghanistan plotting?

They might be reacting to Canada's participation in Afghanistan, but we didn't catch them there. We caught them on our soil, before they attacked, without having to invade a nation to do it.

Maybe our law enforcement is just more efficient than yours.
