Thread: I wouldn't delete this guy's posts...

I don't know...

The members of this site DID give him the benefit of the doubt. It wasn't his criminal record which was the problem with his posts. It was the fact that he was advocating carrying a gun illegally. Us law abiding citizens get enough crap from anti gun liberals and when they see a post that talks about illegal gun ownership then that just feeds fuel to their fires. Also too that even though this is a public site it is also privatly owned and it is not a thing like survivor where we vote people off the island if we don't like them or keep them because we do. You just don't insult the admins/mods of any site. It's just not the smartest thing to do. Also shows a lack of respect.

I think giving sick45 the boot was a good idea. It seems that he was also bragging about breaking into cars and stealing CDs and also bragging about drug use. I know that I brought up the issue about me having a juvenile record but I didn't talk about it in specifics because even though it is in the past and I have paid my debt to society, I am still very ashamed of what I did and probly will always be. I brought it upon myself and I can't blame anyone other than myself.

OK, for one - I am glad that the members here agree with our decision. It makes things here more civil. And, we have the best members here of any site.

I've managed many sites before in the past, however, and inevitably, you get someone like that every couple of months. He's not the 1st, and probably won't be the last. So, while we hate stepping in, sometimes we have to.

I think all that needs to be said about the guy has been, though. I don't see much point going on about him anymore. We did leave his posts up to speak for themselves. Had they threatened anyone or gone even a little further, we may have deleted them. But, in this case, we did not.

Anyway, I've decided to lock this thread so we can all move along with our HAPPY lives and enjoy ourselves here. :-D
