There's nothing wrong with caring about how people you don't know in your community are treated. Go bury your head in the sand, I suppose.
You're such an assh*le. So you never shop on Amazon either? You track down where every single mass produced product you own is made and personally inspect the working conditions? You really think your bullsh't stance about Wal Mart is even newsworthy? We should all be proud of you cause you're telling us sh't we don't know?
Listen, no one here likes your moralizing. Half of us tell you to f*ck off to your face and the other half want to but don't like Internet conflict so resist. But for some reason you like to post here anyway, so here's a proposal for us all to live in peace. When ever you feel like being better than the rest of us, carve that idea on to a large peice of wood instead. When that piece of wood is filled with your brilliant ideas, shove is up your ass.
I wanted to take this time against my better judgment and legal advisement to explain what may be my last posting here.
I'm a huge advocate of free speech. I openly served in the military defending this right. But I never advocated hate speech. Certainly I have irked some of you when I make comments such as a parent is better to raise a child than daycare (several of you disagreed) but I have never attacked you on the basis of race, religion , creed , color or sexual preference.
I have also never threatened you or intimidated with posts such as:

I can only assume you're referring to the lyrics "Stand up f*ggot, I'll let you have it where you post at". I thought you above using homophobic terms. Uncool. And truly unnecessary. That's disappointing. You're better than that.
Later this week I have a meeting. And after that a representative on my behalf will contact ProBoards.
So if this is indeed turns out to be my last post (I honestly don't know this will play out) I want to apologize for those I somehow offended and thank those that were supportive.
I wanted to also reassure those of you whom I have screenshots of that are engaging in illicit behavior prior to being banned from chat I would never use those against you.
For the very few of you that I have contact with via other social media please understand I will either lurk or place barriers during the interim.
You are pressing legal charges [edit: or just get us kicked off Proboards] for posting internet videos about towards you? And perceiving I was attacking you? It is the internet, and I indicated I was going to leave you alone. Is this really the course you chose to go.

Oh, GREAT! Another creepy sproat! Seriously, you took screenshots of people doing "illicit" things in chat?
This quoted section alone should be grounds for a perma ban. Grow up and go f*ck yourself with your immature threats.
Its kinda funny that he is threatening to sue, imo.
What I find most ridiculous is this absurd assumption that that lyric is about him. Dead honesty, didn't even think about it.. It's a lyric in a rap song. sorry?
Serious question, imarob - do you really think you have any grounds whatsoever to take legal action against someone for telling you to stick it where the sun don't shine?
Calling someone an asshole is not even remotely in the same ballpark as threatening or intimidating them. You talk a big game about defending free speech... right up until the point that someone calls you a weenie. This is the Internet, dude - you're just going to have to grow a thicker skin or stop coming here. It seems you've opted for the latter, which I can't say I'm too upset about in light of you attacking my folks' parenting skills.
And I'm pretty sure the courts have better things to deal with than petty message board feuds, but let us know how that goes for you.

You are worrying entirely too much about the ravings of a confused overweight man who decided to throw his full energy into trolling after realizing that his shoddy brand of dime-store moralizing wasn't earning him any followers.
Probably, but if you know how things were going for me right now -- you would know that I seriously don't have time for this crap. I don't need to feel like I have to hold my tongue here over a video. Not only does it piss me off, I as a non-legal, sees the fallacy of the whole argument but don't need some asshat from Proboards harassing the mods about it. Over a video -- that would upset me further
*edit: Plus that chat threat is directly pointed at me, horn doesn't use the webchat. (or at least I've never seen him there)

Hold on, sir. Review that part of the thread. I never said such a thing. I think that was between you and others (mostly Jenny?). I never really decided my stance.
I felt as though you were out to get me. Was I just paranoid? Probably.
Also, how many times do we have to be proven right on these things before we stop getting grief?
Sometimes it's like the boy who cries wolf. Some of you guys call so many posters worthless and "the worst" and trolls that it's hard to filter out the ones who are actually trolls.

His posts should have made it clear.
Right, and we don't read every post from everyone on here. I didn't realize he was causing any real issues until three days ago when horn made that thread. From there it was looking into his posts and discussing the situation with the other mods

I mean, I could make a thread where we keep a running tally of The Worst in descending order of their awfulness, if it would help everyone keep things straight. Might be helpful for people when it comes to EMoney's Garbage Day.
And I may apply the tag of worthlessness to many people, but have I ever been totally wrong? I mean it's not like I'm throwing elbows at Tom or Dave Maynar or anybody who actually contributes and/or seems like a decent, actual human being.
It is not required on this board to be a an "excellent poster". You can comment or add your two cents on anything, even if it is generally not helpful or especially helpful. As long as you are not rude or break any of the other rules.
Same here but in all fairness he did not seem that bad before Horn made his obnoxious call out thread that got a lot more traction and mod participation than it should have in my opinion. Personally I think there is value in a member that can piss Horn, Juggs, and Gimli off so easily, but hey to each their own. It is always amazing to me that it takes three people on here start a campaign to make someone out to be a villain and then later on they live up to it.

Well, plenty of people get by without even a hint of reprimand for their rudeness.
And so what you're saying is, someone could come on here, post completely unhelpful gibberish all over the place and make a clusterf*ck out of everything, and it'd be cool? And barring the "rude" factor, why was Imarob banned, then? Unless threatening legal action is against the rules, in which case we'll be in real trouble if Member X ever actually DOES have cause for action against another member, say, if Member Y made serious threats implying physical harm to Member X or their family and enforced the seriousness of those threats by investigating where Member X lived and worked. If Imarob got banned for threatening legal action, then Member X would, too. Right?
Or we can just say fair that Imarob caught the ban because he was a self-righteous, humourless d*ckhole and ignore the idea that being rude or "the rules" had anything to do with it.
You have no idea who gets reprimanded for rudeness or unacceptable behavior. Most of that is done via pm, by mods.
You are assuming a lot here. That posting unhelpful information "all over the place" would cause a "clusterquack" No, it is not cool, IF that happens. It is a judgement call on OUR part. If behavior is disingenuous and causing problems, we will talk to them. The part where users report others for disruptive behavior is important. That does not happen very often, it needs to happen more.
