frankly, he's not QUITE as bad as that pineapple thing - though, it's interesting that when he can't use really really coarse vulgar language as he does on other forums, he doesn't get quite the same effect LOL

Don't sweat it Coffee. I actually agree with you on this one. IF Gary can behave himself, loses the language, and keeps to the topic he shouldn't be banned either.

Unfortunately though, seems he hasn't quite 'got it' yet in that regards, even with 2 bans here already under his belt. And I don't believe he even knows how to control himself to keep it from happening again...Love to be proved wrong by him behaving...But won't be holding my breath either.

safe bet, seeing as how he hasn't changed in four years - even after losing MYRIAD i.d.'s and accounts

He thrives on satisfaction from annoying people. He's unlikely to stop. If the countless other forums he has invaded haven't changed him, I don't think this one will.

People changing the subject of topic isn't necessarily a bannable offense. A lot of other things aren't either. But constantly (with almost every post) intentionally hijacking a thread is tantamount to trolling.

Oh darling, how I know. Remember, I'm one of his 'favs' to fixate on as well. Reason why it didn't take me long to put him on ignore, where I usually keep the little bugger as is.

So is that a yes or no, Jeff?
Well, since I'm not 40, I don't wear a fanny pack and I'm not a virgin, I'd have to take a stab at it and say... No.


I do have to wear a suit & tie most of the time. What does that say - in your professional and highly experienced opinion?

That you like lookin pretty ?

HAH.. i made a funny..

Anyhow i agree that Garysher shouldn't be banned. Personally i believe that his fixation on homosexuality is just evidence of exactly how deep in the proverbial closet he is.

Stupidity holds within itself the seeds of its own irrelevance. Anybody not intersted in listening to his rants should just put him on ignore. It is never fair to silence anybody.. But it is perfectly fair to ignore.

The one biggest suggestion I have is that Garysher be permanently banned. Infect his computer with a virus or something, because I'm getting tired of him coming onto this forum over and over and making a big deal of this issue in places where it's not meant to be. He's not event that good in debate.

Let's keep this forum from going to hell, guys and gals.
Honestly speaking, this can be avoided if people simply don't respond to off topic posts. If we all cooperate by sticking to the thread subject it will help.

Certain posters simply like the attention that they generate. Don't feed the bad behavior. (I certainly have been guilty of this as well and I'm not condemning anyone.)

If you MUST reply, Move the reply into the correct thread category so as to not disturb the flow of conversation.

Just a suggestion...

You guys have the power to ban someone...

Report posts with a good description as to what the problem is. Infractions lead to automatic temporary bans. Please see this thread:
http://www.defendingthetruth.com/sug...on-system.html (Infraction System)

Some of you may have not known that, as you are new to the forums. If the user does not cooperate after the temporary bans end, then a permanent ban will likely result.

So remember, you guys have the power to take action as well. The forum is getting well over 300+ posts/day, it's difficult to monitor all of them.

Please also, do not report excessively. If you see a serious problem, shoot me a PM.
