The recent poll: Benefit or Detriment?

[TheSickness]

I believe it was constructive just as I think this thread is as well very nice job guys. However I voted to ban him and I did so just for Shit's and Giggles I know my own activity has decreased sharply over the past year and there is many reasons for that...But I guess the biggest reasons are what Timmy mentioned. I also saw it deteriorating before my eyes in my opinion, shit just wasn't the same or fun anymore....Something I cared about so much and have fought to keep sacred and our secret was expanding into Hemi guys and Trolls as I saw it...I put everything into this place and the people and realized that I in some respects ignored everything else in my life. I felt as if I was fighting the battle by myself and others did not really care one way or another about this place as much as I did and still do.

At one point I felt irrelevant so I left....and re-found my love for fishing to fill the void left by my departure.....I'm still basically on vacation and don't post much....I don't feel that connection and Love that this place once had....Maybe it's just me being over sensitive who knows :dontknow: But that is how I feel....I am one that never joined a site for the stupid trucks anyway....I joined because of my friends and a way to connect and have fun with them. I have not read a tech thread since I was a Moderator. It's all the same shit over and over again to me. I have no dog in that fight anyway so why bother.

So for me personally nothing has ever changed I still come back for the same reasons as I joined in the first place....The old guard, The dirty dozen, The Post Ho's, to be part of something bigger then myself and my loved ones...For me that's what it's all about and nothing else matters. I was proud to be selected as this places first Moderator by the people...I was deeply saddened when I lost it and have been trying ever since to get back. I know that it's a fruitless endeavor but I keep trying anyway because I have no quit in me...I am relentless Anyway Great thread guys sorry if I'm long winded

I hate to hear this. I was a late bloomer getting a truck and finding this place with the help of Jeff. I have met some great people in here and find it hard to believe there arent more great people to meet. I can appreciate the good ole days in my life as well but they never last. I dont think it has as much to do with the site as it does where you are in life. Times are tough but the idea and reality that this place IS an extended family is something that I cherish. Never leave Mikey and maybe one of the newbs will grow on you

Like crotch rot :dontknow: Problem is most if not all have no idea the History and times we have all shared and basically don't give a shit either...I see them disrespect my friends and it pisses me off to no end. Unlike the past where I would openly fillet a Mother Fucker I don't bother anymore...I just log off and tune out for a couple months at a time...Regain my composure and pop in from time to time to say hey. Used to be a time as Django eluded to this would never happen....The old guys would back a homeboy up....Not anymore from what I can see and we Moderate shit by ourselves with no need of input from the staff. Some of there uppity new douches have no idea how incendiary I can be and prolly won't until they cross a line...Then all bets are off :marchmellow:

Fillet away then.
I guess it pisses me off to have found a place too late to never be a part of its history. I may not be a gearhead like many in here or have a clue what it was like, but I can tell there are great people in here. I have turned the cheek on a few that have made comments I didnt get primarily due to the fact the one that calls them out is usually the one that gets the beating. :dontknow:

Regardless of why the banning poll was started I think it was good that we were able to discuss the issue like adults. All who participated came away with something positive or negative. Sure we witnessed a line being crossed but as I said, we are grown ups. And I commend Tim for starting this thread without mentioning names. I feel if tossing people out like that were the norm for habitual line steppers then a whole lot of people wouldn't be here. To recap, I voted that a banishing SHOULN’T happen, but I voted that this as being beneficial to us all. Speaking up IS welcomed. Opinions ARE welcomed. Points of views are ALL important and count. I think those are the real underlying virtues of this great place. Those virtues should be upheld and honored at all times. Peace be with you all… And to all a good night..


Oh and YES ViperJeff for president.
