This is one of the issues that Cliff is upset about. He wants certian people to be banned, but has passed the voting on to us. He knows that some of the "good" members are rating the "bad" members with a positive.

So maybe Cliff should pm a list of people he recomends a NEG for

But he would not do that... because it would defeat the purpose of having US rate people.

I've pretty much expressed how I feel and don't want to get into flame wars anymore than most people on this forum. But I think it's apparent to everyone here, that since all the threads started a little while back, and some members stepped forward, the nasty posts have pretty much disappeared.

So either the offenders have gotten the hint, or they're affraid of being banned, for the Forum's sake I hope it's the first case.

I was gonna say the same thing but I was afraid to. Kinda like being in a gun battle and things start to quiet down, you don't really wanna be the 1st one who sticks his head up.

You're kidding right?

Besides, you are not one to be talking about other members. How many threads have people started about their other sports/muscle cars, that you have decided to take crap in, with your "Wanna race " comments?

No, I'm not kidding, but you wouldn't understand.

In my opinion, I don't crap in threads like you've done here, and when someone puts a " " behind what they've said, that typically means they're joking. Without the icon, it's a serious statement.

If you don't like something I've posted, shoot me a pm telling me how you feel, don't smear the threads with this crap. If I've posted something technically wrong, then a rebutattle belongs in the thread, and the error should be explained.

Nuff said, I don't want to get into a debate with you Lex.

That's wise.

You want me to shoot you a pm? Then extend me the same courtesy the next time you are ready to post one of your lists.

Of course it's wise !

When you start extending others on this Forum some courtesy, maybe you'll get some in return. Just a thought.

Over and out!

WooHoo! i'm really important. i've got the last word. (until someone else posts).

save yourselves some trouble. write a little basica program and let the machine handle it for you:

10 print "did not!"
20 print "did too!"
30 goto 10

a single backwards reference shouldn't be a problem, but yes, when you get a bunch of them it gets really bad really quickly.

Qbasic, anyone?
let x=0
while x=0
print "did not!"
print "did too!"
wend
end

then there's always lovely CoBOL:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID.
AUTHOR.
INSTALLATION.
DATE-WRITTEN.
DATE-COMPILED.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
CONFIGURATION SECTION.
SOURCE-COMPUTER. IBM -370.
OBJECT-COMPUTER. IBM -370.
INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
FILE-CONTROL..
SELECT
...
1/2 hour of coding later, same result.
print "did not".
print "did too".

Lol, this is gonna go over the motorheads' heads. =P But you make a solid point (everyone wants to get one more word in edgewise), and hopefully helping us all to realize this never-ending cycle will convince us that it is pointless.

And TaurusThug... I don't think you're troling. Like you said, it's your thread - and there's nothing wrong with your asking if we're all finished arguing.

Hey, if this thread has to last for the rest of eternity, that's ok - maybe it will keep the scum out of the other threads.

Is it possible? Is this "the" Greg?? If so, then the million dollar question I guess now would be, did Cliff "let" another banned member back on again or do we have another banned member sneaking back on?
