man i sit down at my desk expecting to get some work done and here i sit an hour later, lol

emilsr,
I agree it is a shame. But here is my issue. It is his sandbox whatever. But when many people my self included posted nothing wrong in his place, haven't even said anything about him. And he uses this as a violation of the TOS he has is blatantly wrong. It essentially comes down to shutting off paid service for no reason. I did not say anything on TBM. Blake is an arrogant prick as far as I see it. I was fine with staying out of it, but when people are getting booted for doing nothing more than what Blake has said he is ok with, voicing your opinion. Then it is no longer a site I will put my name with. To me boating is about freedom, escaping the everyday life. I enjoy these forums as it is a place to escape from the day ,when I cant be on the water and to learn new information about the sport I love so much. When I have to worry about some PMSing Web admin getting pissed because I posted on some other site, well at that point it is no longer a free site, and is much in opposition to my whole idea of boating.

There is such a thing as protecting your interest, this has gone far beyond that and has turned into a small minded webmaster being overly thin skinned. As teh webmaster Blake needs to grow the f*ck up.

And further more, I don't care what personal feud you have with someone, airing delight in someone elses problems is also something I do not believe is a good moral character.

Well said BMT...

All we ever wanted was a few answers.... if he has the balls to "throw his weight around" then he should have the courage to stand up for what he believes in instead of giving eveyone the "all mighty" run around and just "deleating" the problem with hopes it will go away. Don't just go changing peoples information "because you feel like it" and not expect someone to notice and ask the simple question(s) of "why"? Don't go gloating over someone elses misfortune and try and capitolize on it by running their name further in the ground without someone asking "why". If you are as "strong" as you say you are...and as good of a "business man" as you say you are...then you should be able to defend your actions....not run from them.

If you cannot answer simple questions....don't make bold statements, then hide behind the truth. Don't ban people for being associated with other groups for fear of what the outcome will be. We are all a strong group of individuals... As my dad always told me..... "Don't bull**** a bull****ter"...and Blake...you are a bull****ter.

So what's your membership count down to now? As I told you in many of my posts (which you have deleated) "Blake, this isn't personal...don't make it personal...just want some answers".....well sir, you made it personal....now you are in the hot seat and have to face the wrath of what YOU sir started.... We are all just here to finish it.

Re: Anyone Still Following Along?

"Just like it did with my final post about IRISH, the numuerous BANNINGS for good reason, POWERBOATPARTY.COM and on and on and on. Could my posts be actually making some sense to some people? Thats what I thought." - Blake Elkin

Nope...still not making sense....what was the good reason again?

emilsr you are probably the next to get booted since you have posted over here which has happened alot over the past weekend like Hoss said he is the one that made it personnel Ed

Wow, Blake is going to have to do the Christmas "welcome back banned members" thread early this year!

thats not even funny coming from a guy who can't hole cut a bayliner properly!

We'll see Ed. I just posted my opinions in the matter, didn't bash anyone and won't bash anyone. In my little pea brain that's crossing a line I don't wish to cross. Life is much too short for that. Whatever happens, happens. It's been a good ride for me on TBM and I hope to stay there, but of course that isn't my call.

Come on man! Chainsaws do more than just cut down trees! Livorsi just needs to make square gauges!

I think we all wished at one point to stay there ray, but blake has issues and is not a "people" person, thats why he has no supporters and continually drives members away.

Along with your lack of hole cutting abilites,
didn't he have some other kind words about you ?
