Guys and Gretch,

FWIW, RL has occasionally reversed bans. I can safely say that every time it has been done, the person gets banned again within 3-6 months as they revert to form.

I had no part in banning danglerb, that was Randy AND John D himself. I do recall his posts and fully endorsed what Randy
and John did. I think it might pay to reflect on the fact that we tend to remember the good things and forget the bad.

Gretch, if this gets sorted, email or PM and I can take care of reversing the ban - no matter how foolish it might be. I know it is tough on a BB from the orchard

imo, folks tend to fixate more on the bad stuff...

like the postal worker that does his job for 20 years perfectly, and then has one bad day where he/she comes in with an AK47 and shoots the place up. after that, whenever their name comes up all everyone seems to remember is that one friggin day.

I guess folks can be wierd about stuff.

Hell, I can't believe I haven't been thrown under the bus a couple of times myself already.

I could care less, I just thought it was a funny shirt.

A lot of people want to see Brett play for the ViQueens, for two different reasons.
Brett fans want to see him kick butt to "stick it" to Tedd Thompson.
The other half (who have a clue) want to see Brett saunter out in field and get his *** handed to him.

Personally, I feel he has really tarnished his legacy. It's his own fault he wasn't welcome back as the starting QB, take it like a man and STFU already.

Erik, as a side note, I apologize for getting a little "too" defensive in that thread a few weeks ago, we cool?
I think we've done this before

Are we cool? Like kissing cousins...no wait, that's not what I meant.
You know you are part of the family, keep it above the belt and we are always cool. Even if do bone-headed things from time to time

It's time for those of you with multiple screen names to vote again.

Is it stalled with needing only one more vote to hit the 75% mark? Nobody wants to be the vote that's responsible for bringing him back?

Cheating or cutting corners will only drive the bar higher.

Now I want to hear from RV as to the final straw that broke the camel's back.

If as Bob says, it was sanctioned by JD, there may be some behind the scene reason for the banning that all you bleeding hearts were not privey to.

So I am cogitating on it.........

If contacting a few people who are not regulars to vote is cheating, then I'm guilty as charged.

Hey! Keep it simple for us on the continent. Homer Simpson quotes are good, an occasional reference to the latest news on the Octomom, but beyond that, jeez, give us a break. Don't you know we're basically living out "Farenhiet 451" here in the states.

Now, where is my remote control...
