If I had your sensibility, I might be married. Lol
I'm the kind of guy that curses more than average. It is something that my father and I enabled each other growing up. Honestly, I'm surprised I haven't swore when complementing some of great work we see here.

I'm willing to bet 2 dollars cold hard cash we lose another one before it's over.
Why doesn't the taco truck drive around the neighborhood selling tacos & margaritas???

Thanked: 481I will be using that at work sometime in the next week.
Honestly buddy, I think you did what you had to do. The forum has rules and they're no secret. And the user in question was given multiple chances to straighten up. Maybe it would be worth consideration the idea to lift his ban just once more, and perhaps hash it out with him to see if there are areas of the forum that he can function and only allow him access to those? Just a thought, since it did seem like you guys have the ability to limit users to certain areas. Just an off the cuff suggestion since it seemed you weren't entirely happy with the outcome yourself.
Yea, bad habit I picked up at the shop. And being part of the younger generation that Jimmy references doesn't help. Strange the differences just a few generations can make eh? To my grandmother such language was strictly verboten. My mother may let a foul word slip here or there. Me? They're just another word in the dialect, and I am quite fluent in asterisk.
Honestly I'm surprised it hasn't gotten me in trouble here like it does just about everywhere else. Particularly with threads that get me worked up. I had to recuse myself from one thread because I'd broken the usual decorum already, and knew it was only going to get worse if I continued checking that thread out. Sometimes the best option is to simply take a deep breath, walk away, and let it go.
I'm not one to shy away from discussions of politics though. Honestly these things need to be discussed, and I don't think it right to fear broaching the topic. I think the largest reason that we have so much trouble talking about these things is simply because no one ever does. Thus we don't know how. Somehow we've lost sight of the fact that it's actually OK for people to have a different opinion on a topic than us. We've forgotten how to have civilized discourse, and agree to disagree should it become apparent that neither side will cede. And I think that's because it's in vogue to keep to shallow and light/airy topics of conversation that either everyone can agree on, or simply will not have a strong opinion of.
And now I'm just sort of rambling so...on to other things!

No, at this point his ban is permanent. I am never happy with such an outcome and I am willing to give people chances to correct whatever the issue is, but they have to want it too. He tried twice the restriction from the topics that cause him problem and that didn't help.
He did not start this thread to learn how to fit in here, he started it because he thought I am a liar and he is a victim of political persecution. He had enough opportunities to change and he blew them all, if that was caused by his mental illness as he says he needs to get qualified help not forum access.
