Was Mac banned or WTF?

Have you read Mac lately? Do you think this should have passed without censure?

He's not banned, he's on suspension. It's up to him if and when he returns.

He took his ball and went home.

Yes, and yes.

Not funny. Not even cute. But certainly typical.

I thought Mac was a woman. What is going on??

17 is the problem here, but I believe he should be able to post any and all shit that he wants to it is fine by me, I won't attack him. I truly believe it is in the best interest to see the thoughts other beings are harboring, then I can ignore them. At least he does it out in the open and not destroying this a board PRETENDING to be something else, as other anti-semite hunters have been known to do.

Mac informed the admin that he could no longer be a party to the enabling of fascism which this board represents.

Is that better? Thanks for your input.

this is a very manichean board sometimes.

I'm seriously very saddened to see Mac go, but then I like the way that guy destroys.

The board's policy being what it is - if the Breeze is more like a stench, then boycott. Let him talk to himself and whatever posse he may find here. And if the dude can ever actually muster an argument, great, let the free exchange of ideas begin. Otherwise, he's flame-bait and everybody and their fucking dog knows it. Is it so complicated? Ignore, ignore, ignore! Starve it! I realize I'm not the first or even the hundredth poster at this point to say this but it bears repeating and frankly, it's the solution. And Mac, fuck*, make sure you come back. Your ability to satisfy my personal emotional needs with regards to the stench is marvelous, but also unnecessary in the end. I value you much more for wit, insight, and righteousness across the entire spectrum.

*yes, this is a reference to Withnail and I

I like Mac, too. He passionately advocates for justice because he feels very passionately about it. He knows that HUMAN BEINGS are connected to ISSUES.

Human beings are connected to user names, too. Everyone posting here is a person. All of us are flawed. Most of us are trying to do the right thing.

I don't think 17breezes is an evil person, even though he believes in some things that I know are supporting evil in this world. I think he is a human being who is probably doing the best he can with the picture he has.

Mac is a person, too — probably a very good one.

The moderators did what they felt they needed to do, and I support them. In their position, I probably would have done the same thing or something similar.

But I do hope Mac decides to come back, after the dust settles a bit.

Mac emailed me last night, suggesting I rename it "Rigorous Arselicking"‏.

I replied:

You know, as much abuse as you hurl now, you've been a real asset to the board, and even when I think you're wrong you're usually wrong for the right reasons.

So there.

This material attracts a lot of overly-emotional, overly-sensitive, self-righteous, self-aggrandizing Drama Queens.

I feel sorry for you Jeff, you're a good guy and all you do is put up with this whiny bullshit from so-called "adults".

He said what he needed to say and I support him as I do Jeff and Barracuda. I hope he comes back. I hope Nordic comes back. Say, didn't Alice post something last night too?

It's just the Internet guys. Just a month or so ago we were extolling this place's virtues.

You wanna see a real flame war? Just look up forums with the topic PS3 vs. Xbox360. That's some good eatin'.

Anyways, let's just do ahhh, whatever it is the fuck we do. I got no idea what it is. I just hate to see such attrition here.

Yes, that's much better. You're welcome.
