Yes. The Barn is much less interesting now. I spend a lot less time here and get more actual living done. Working on cars. Stuff around the house. Interacting with real people.
If you pussies hadn't banned STS, I would have been content to stay at the Barn for hours at a time, sucked in by his toxicity and crassness.

But hey, I LIKE watching car crash/motorcycle crash videos, so there's that.

Apparently most of you guys prefer watching Housewives of Hollywood or Dancing With the Stars, etc.

This place is boring as phuck now.

You do know “we” didn’t ban hm, an Admin who runs VB did. And it’s the 6th or 7th time at least.

Fill this out, send it to the Admins here, they’ll kiss your boo-boo and make it all better:

Send the Admin who banned him a PM telling him what a ***** he is. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.

NO SIR. My personal beliefs of free speech do not put me in a position of authority here on this forum. As stated, STS was pushing the envelope and he got called on it. I will miss him, but realize others do not enjoy watching a train wreck or a firework explode or a lightning storm like I do.

People that complain about things they have the option to ignore are, in my mind, immature. Peace Out.

He didn't get banned. Most of us who are fairly actively simply put him on double secret ignore with the help of admins.

No, I think they booted him. I didn't block him and I can't see his posts any more either. Also, he was a repeat offender apparently of trolling with different screen names.

If I understand correctly, this would go in the "win-win" column.

The fact that you'll miss him says a lot about your character and maturity.

Different context. We CHOOSE to be here and post. We don't have to be here.

Why did STS get the Perma instead of a 30 day or 60 day or whatever?
Why throw out the snake with the bath water?

I sure as hell didn't get him banned. I simply stopped going into any threads he started and didn't respond to any posts he made in the others. It was working out fine.

Because you're a man. I do the same with a couple of people here. No problems at all. Everybody's happy. Everybody gets to post.

He was annoying for sure but also easy to ignore. I could really have cared less if he stayed or went, didn't change my life in any way.

Oh well, based on his track record he'll be back.

I admit I complained to a mod about one of his posts directed at another member that was VERY offensive. I don't think I've ever complained like that before (I could be forgetting something from long ago, not 100%). From the responses here, I am guessing mine was not the only complaint lodged, and we're a pretty tolerant bunch here, all things considered.

Combine that with the revelation that the same guy was booted here multiple times before (something demonstrably very difficult to do as a poster), and then ask, what's the point of a punitive temporary ban? Same guy returns over and over and keeps getting singled out for booting. Bad luck?

Really don't have to choose most of the list I provided either.

I can't answer your questions.

GTOGuy always latches on to those type of posters, it's nothing new.
It makes him seem less annoying by comparison.
