We've always drawn the line at name-calling, and probably always will.

We believe in allowing everyone to have opinions, but not when it is to disrespect another member of the forum.

This is a forum about a silly game, people. When you cross the line to calling people names (including members in the public posts), your posting privileges will come to end.

What the **** is wrong with people?-$10 says he will be back.

[jamo]

Yeah, but he did say "kindly." :poo:

I hope he doesn't become one of those stalker trolls that keeps coming back.

[14ledo81]

He also said he did not want to start a fight, and then proceeded to use derogatory terms??

Unless of course your desire is to be a "fat punk"....

If you're 'the biggest DB', does that make the moderators just regular DBs?

[mvmac]

It wouldn't have taken much for him to get a second chance, just take ownership of your shit. Dude must be a real joy to be around in person.

Maybe he meant it literally. Maybe you're all just the "thinnest" DBs? Since I'm the "fat punk" maybe you're just the skinny punks?

[Lihu]

Wow, this guy's persistent in his hatred towards 5SK?

Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing another convert from the MNS to 5SK.

That's what I tell myself.

Been observing and ... I've been in the sports officiating business for 35 years and when you end your diatribe with "gfys" you've pretty much taken yourself out of the game regardless of the event.

Even when you do it that politely though?  I mean, he only "kindly encouraged" it, he didn't even insist on it.

[Hatchman]

@golfingdad - I usually say it sincerely in return and with a smile.

[David in FL]

Now that was one of the funniest things I've read in awhile!

I may have to consider using that last sentence as a signature line!

[Phil McGleno]

I think this is the kind of stuff that regular forum members never get to see-Unless you have run or moderated? a forum you do not get to see this side of people but it is there. If this guy was not banned but continued to bad mouth @IACAS and others then someone who could not see the PM might assume that he was banned for less than sound reasons-So I am glad you are starting to share these kinds of things to get the bigger picture and let other people see how you moderate. I know I have been on the receiving end of some stern PMs and even been in the Penalty box and I probably deserved all of them an more.

[newtogolf]

No shock, I sensed LeanMachine was a troll and thought Erik handled him perfectly in the Moe Norman thread.

There seems to be a lot of jealous individuals (from another golf forum) over what Erik, Dave and Mike have built here and they take joy in sending people over here to take pot shots at them and 5SK.  Eventually all of these guys show their true colors and resort to profanity and name calling prior to being banned.

Atleast he encouraged you "kindly" you go BEEP yourself.

Most people say that to me in the most unkind of ways.

Secondly anytime you start a sentence with "I dont want to start a fight, but...." you usually are looking to start a fight. Simply ask my wife!

Kinda like "with all due respect" and other similar things, yeah.
