Par for the course around here lately...pretty sad.

heres a better idea... how aboutnthose that are close friends or delgates to the accused no be able to moderate this section for, it could look like they are banning, crying to IB to delete whe their friends get put own..... So he posted some personal info.. But think of all the postsabout troutly personal an not and Too Old postedabout, Chris sunkin posted about personal.. Only thing this hit some personal friends of the accused that have the majic pen to erase certain people... I call Bullchit......

And a lot of people praised the Pantera 41 it is a nice piece but to tell a person to watch it for another praised pantera about the boat then is defending where a person is getting litteraly fu cked by the company can have a right to tell said comapny their business practices are srewed up... but when the product is done its a fine product..... Go Figure..........

So did he get a vacation or is it a permanent ban? May not like his style but if you take the time and read all of his posts including the old thread that was locked you'll see that the vast majority of what he posted was factual and most of the time he was calling out things to come that actually came to fruition. He was obviously doing his homework.

I don't think in the big scheme it was fare to ban him when others were making direct and veiled threats not to mention the insults thrown his way...I do believe all of those violates OSO rules as well. So where's the line?

Thought basically the same things. Glad it was said. Some of the personal stuff he said he would post was over the top, however, he never posted it either, at least that I saw. Certainly no worse than posts/threats made by other individuals that are apparently part of the problem.

A few great posts there guys!

He made creepy comments about having pictures of another members daughter. Most on OSO can handle insults, but this type of thing is something I'm sure IB doesn't want on its site.

I saw his comment on the pic and I saw all the others that were deleted. Are we to believe any time a man comments on a kids pic it is creepy? Please... Some of the classless members here put a spin on his comment.

Creepy? You know what's creepy, when personal friendship with bad guy's takes precedence over the good guy's getting screwed. And it's right here....poisoning a great powerboat website. Damn shame.

To those who spoke up against this ......Thank You!

It's the old adage, "It's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know"....... Paul's posts seem to be pretty spot on from what I saw. OSO hasn't been the same since IB bought it, probobly will never be. Sure miss Steve and for that matter Jeffery....

Apparently depends if you are friend or foe of the accused
