He does not play well with others.
Or are you one of those 'any means necessary' kind of guys when debating with people with a different POV?

There is only one reason Billybob was banned. During the brian carlton regime as moderator, BC couldn't handle having someone on the forum who was not only obviously more intelligent, but had the cerebral capacity and spare time to prove it over and over again! If Billybob had joined under the way less egotistical Mods currently serving in their thankless job I have no doubt he would be sharing his vast knowledge of MB's, as well as his scathing social commentary, on a daily basis. It is sad when someone is silenced, whether you agree with them or not, because it means you could be next.

That last line of yours just sent a shiver right through me!

Oh, BTW, the forum search function is not your friend. It indicates that the "brian carlton regime" ended in 2010, and your hero's last recorded babble before his permanent ban was October 15, 2011.

Why, then, don't the current round of ego-free mods allow him back on the forum? With Skid Row Joe's revival, there is certainly precedent for such an action. I think that you know the answer.

I'm sorry BF- I have trouble taking you seriously for a few reasons: 1- you have only been a member for 6 months. 2- you rarely have anything to contribute other than smartass one liners. And 3- you are from Canada arent you?

What's wrong with Canada?:confused:

1. Hey, no need to apologize, I don't care how you regard me. Who the hell are you?:D

2. Smartass one-liners they are, and I apologize if I've sent any your way, but some folks around here create such a target-rich environment, sometimes I just can't help myself. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Of course, I'm not referring to the well-read, witty and cerebral folks around here - like you.

3. As for where I live? You'll never know. You'll certainly never correctly deduce it on your own.:)

It's pathetic that you're so blind to the facts that all of your conclusions are patently false.

BC didn't ban Billybob. In fact, BC gave him far more latitude than just about anyone else on here specifically because he's a very valuable contributor to DD. Of course, you wouldn't know that because you don't participate in any technical forums.........you simply show up here to cast stones at my moderation from three years ago.

The current moderation team decided that he's on permanent ban, so, maybe you ought to go and ream Tyler a new one if you simply can't keep your mouth shut and have to come on here periodically and make a fool out of yourself..


You continue to show that you're truly an ass.

Like picking daisies when you post; just look at your last few.

Do you even know what you mean? :rolleyes:

Personally I have never had an issue with any of BB's postings but keep in mind I have thick skin. As already stated he is a very knowledgeable contributor on the technical side. From what I can tell he just does not flower up his language like some ppl like to have it flowered up.

With that said I think SRJ is a very knowledgeable contributor in regards to the financial stuff. Again, some folks just can't take his prose where he has not flowered it up.

Let's all be thankful everyone on here does not think alike and is exactly alike. It would be a very boring place.

You don't have to "flower up" your language to be polite. it does take some effort though especially when you are interacting with people you disagree with or don't particularly care for.

True.

In many cases for me, if a person can't behave in a civilized manner, then they can take their knowledge and cram it. life is too short, and there are other resources.

That being said, I have reaped the benefit of Phil's posts vicariously, which is much safer.;)

Never saw any financial advice here that was worth a damn, but then, I don't look for financial advice from unknown people on internet forums. I look there for vehicular info. ;)

Finally, there is someone on this forum more FULL of themselves than I USE to be. :eek::D:D:D

I think it'd be fun to let BB come back in under his own name and then take side bets on how long he lasts.
