ATV Florida Forum

i dont get it. iwas posting stuff and suddenly like three threads were removed simultaneously. mostly involving lmk, nj, 04250.
c'mon guys, gimme a break!

i hear ya.  my post count went down 6. i might cry.

seriously,

rl.

I dont get it either, all my threads were in fun. Oll well thats ok.

Farewell, good bye. :-\

i think some ones fealings got hurt  :'( :'( :'( :M

i'm sure they were but like i tell my son,:

it aint funny if its at the cost of hurting someone or saying something hurtful just to get a laugh.

believe me, in school i was on the hurtful end of it. i remember everyone makin fun of me.

im actually kinda glad they all went away. they are fun, but they do cause havock on the board

and who cares anyway, njoutlaw is gone.

What did I miss here?

i bet he makes another name.

rl.

I know what you mean Gery350. I wasn't picked on in school I was actually one of the people that stood up for the kids being picked on. However my daughter " now 15" was the tallest kid in all of her classes including the boys until she got to high school. I remember times she would come home crying from being teased by some idiot and I  would tell my wife I wanted to talk to the kids dad and if he didn't do anything I would kick his a$$. It would kill me. Kids can be really mean. I get the feeling Njoutlaw may have been a sensitive kid and certain people got carried away. I just wish he would have stood up for himself and not showed that it bothered him. But that's out of my control. There are some adults that have been on here lately that you would think are teenagers if you didn't look at there profile. I guess Mr Bones was serious in his thread about innapropriate posts. Oh well.He's the boss.

i agree with you cableguy. i didnt have anything against the kid and i told him that many times. he should have known most of us were just joking

Again, What did I miss?

njoutlaw23590 made a good bye post, deleted his account.  someone deleted his thread and 2 or 3 others.

rl.

Why did he say his fairwells? what caused that?

A select few complaining about his polls and posts and then other people ganged up on him. He either couldn't take the joking or didn't see it as a joke. He got bumrushed for lack of a better phrase. He should have just sucked it up but people would make threads just about bashing him and I guess he couldn't take it.

NJ did stand up for himself.  He was not necessarily being picked on but coached to change his tune.  He never seemed to realize that all he was doing was complaining.  He was also told he was more than welcome to join us several times.  And yet he still sat and complained about no where to ride and that the only places to ride were illegal.

I don't have much sympathy as I stated in my comment to him.  I would have been more than happy to help him ride if he could have been more positive.  I don't recall a single thread or comment in which he had much positive to say.

Such a shame to be such an unhappy person.  Sorry he deleted his account before trying to meet up w/ ppl to ride.

Maybe he can reopen an account, get off to a good start, come on a ride with us and realize we arent bad people. Hopefully he wont complain. Last thing we need is making our offroaders mad.

  I do agree with you QT that in the beginning he was being coached by some including yourself which was nice but he wasn't given much of a chance to change his habits before the real bashing began. Perhaps he took heed to your advice and realized what he was doing but he was jumped pretty fast after that.

I think since more and more places closed down and theres less and less places to ride, people got pissed off about it and took it out on other people, and njoutlaw1234567890 was the lucky person.

rl.

That's cool. I hope he takes your advice. Maybe he has learned from his past. .

I also agree with QT. He started some dumb threads, I think thats what piss everyone off.

Well, when you make threatening posts toward other members on this board, those posts need to be pulled, or if you have tasteless or sexist photos in your signature, that needs to be addressed. This is a family oriented board. His posts being pulled were not trigger-happy, in my opinion. I reported his posts as inappropriate a couple of times. I am not a prude, by ANY means, but this is not the place for threats, sexual comments, etc. My daughter is a member here, and the rule of thumb I use is if I would want my daughter to see what is written here. He (njoutlaw88) was given repeated opportunities to get his act together. I think he was/is insecure and needed validation on his decisions. Why would you want board input on what vehicle to buy, what job to take or whether or not to go to college? I would get on him when he made senseless posts, but on the other hand, would answer him and interact with him when he made legitimate points or questions, both on the board and in PMs. I do not like that he has deleted his account, but it was a voluntary move and he can rejoin at any time, and I would welcome him back, IF he tempers his attitude and rhetoric.

ditto

RL,
I'd have to disagree with that. He showed his butt, and that's why people got on him.

   Agreed. ;)

Senseless posts and input from board members makes him a bad forum member? He considered people on this site as his friends aven though he has never met any of you. Sometimes you already know the answers to some questions but he asked his "friends", you people for advice to validate his answers, and you blasted him. I dont know any of you and probably will never meet you guys but thats what a forum is, people who would probably never meet or talk getting together voicing opinions, useless crap, and useful crap. Without people posting there would be no forum and like i said before if you dont like whats being talked about, dont post in that thread and move on.

i agree with most of your opinion gsp but his thread was labeled "goodbye" he basicly said he was leaving cause he couldnt take it anymore. thats not a reason to remove a thread, cmon. you know some of us need guidance. we dont know the situation or environment he lives in. i do believe that MOST people are genuinely good at heart.

That aint right. I didn't care at first but than some of you kept going on and on making fun of him. I hear you guys talk of this place being like a giant family and if thats how you treat your family than you need help. >:(

That's exactly why those threads were removed. I don't want to see public ridcule of any member no matter who it is. That's not what this forum is to be used for. If, by chance, it was all in good fun, remember you can't always tell exactly how certain words are used in a forum. Those no inflection, unless you use smilies.

If you're not goinig to say it to someone's face, don't type it.

I don't believe I ever "blasted" him.  My intentions were to tell him straight up what the deal was w/ what ever I chose to post about.  If not for your "family" who else will be honest with you.  I don't try to hurt others.  I will however be sarcastic at times and am always honest when someone needs to make some changes for the better.  I am that way with  my family and they are as well with me.  It keeps me on the right path.

If I have offended or hurt anyone I am truely sorry.

i couldnt have said it any better.

In my opinion, everybody was a little harsh to him in a lot of his posts.  I know some of his posts weren't necessary, but still that no reason to be as mean as some people were to him.

I did not read his farewell thread. In fact, I never saw it. I reported him for the post he made about rancher350kid saying he would "kick that cracker's a**". I felt that was most inappropriate. I also reported him for the sexual references in his signatures. If I felt he made a senseless thread, I just ignored it.

I'm not saying he was a "bad" forum member. He had a right to ask questions and exchange information. He has no right to threaten people. That is a criminal act, and should not be tolerated. I never asked or proposed he be banned, which is moot now.

This site is getting totally out of control.....common people!  I hardly come here anymore because it's all bickering like a room full of old ladies......please!  :stoogies.gif
