So lets review: I point out Lebanon is a shithole (which it is). You say that they may think that about us too. While you might be right, I use stats and comments from people who were there to show that my observation is probably right. You turn that into a passive-aggressive scolding about how I’m surrounded with nice things which, by implication, you feel that I probably don’t deserve. I don’t cowtow to your argument and so you turn it into a personal attack about how I brag and look down at others. SERIOUSLY??

Nice attempt at a straw man, but that doesn’t work either.

Seems when others on here talk about salaries, jobs, new cars, new boats, new homes, whatever, its perfectly fine. But when I show a pic of my car (after being asked to show it), I’m bragging. Ummmm...OK. I’ve never, EVER said or implied that I’m better than anyone here, and I defy you to point out where that has happened. But there are a lot of people on this planet that I AM better than. You can call that arrogance if you wish. I call it confidence. And you don’t get very far in the world without it.

And when I do leave it’s usually because I’ve been the target of an unsolicited personal attack that the mods or admins refuse to act on. I don’t announce it or blow up the forum with a big dramatic scene....I take some time away. Cool off without making an idiot of myself like some others do. I think that’s a pretty adult thing to do. You, however, have found a way to turn it into something negative. Awesome.

Based on the number of thanks I got, it seems a lot of people were quite happy to see me stop in Dixie. But if your sensibilities are so very offended by my presence, just say the word and I will leave and will NOT return. Of you can perform that function yourself if you so desire. It’ll be the second time I’ve been permabanned for no reason.

We'll never know because you cant believe a damn thing the media writes.
If you personally go there and count bodies; I'll believe you though.

Must be some behind the scene shit we missed. Not sure why the dog pile on Mike, but his opinion or accomplishments are just as good as any of ours. I think a lighten up Frances is in order. If I am wrong fill me in. If not lets keep this place civil and enjoy the group here.

Considering you're the record holder for disappearing acts, the feeling is mutual.

I know that Mike and I had some animosity over something stupid a few years ago. I've let it go, and I don't have an issue if Mike continues to post here on a regular basis. Same with Clark.

I've had two one-week bans here. Never a perma, here or anywhere else.


According to you, you've got two permabans.

Sounds like you're the forum ban record holder there, Sport.

Which proves nothing. I was permabanned by Jesse because I resigned at CF, not for starting shit. Thats one. So learn to read, Sport.

I could have said the exact same thing.

So right now it's just that one guy that's a problem.

Other mods have stepped down. They still have posting privileges.

Your permabans are on you, nobody else.

Correct, it is. ONE. When you tell the stooges over there you're done with their forum, they permaban you, even though it isn't a rule. You have zero clue as to what you're talking about so give it a rest Clark.

A STFU would have sufficed.
