A while back there was this thread on ISA web board . The Topic I believe was censorship . If I am not mistaken Bob W. and Tom D were really upset by it . So If The blaster got blasted than he must have really ticked off some one and so be it . 2008 , like I tell my kids , don't let no one get the best of you . Work it out , the web is too big to have closed doors . At least MB lets you know who he is and you have "grovers' who are basically annon. Whats up with that ? I'd take ten MB's over a 1/2 muppet.

Therein lies the greatest difficulty in understanding banning Butch. His offense involved a rude comment to Grover...who has insulted dozens of Treebuzzards. I'll admit that I have visited the buzz very little over the summer and it is possible that Grover has become a shining example of sweetness and light while Butch edged over the lline several times that I missed. However, based upon the way things were when I autosuspended my buzz participation I'd have gladly kicked Grover in the nuts for a nickel and shaken Butch's hand for free.
He's like a tape worm sucking the life out of the Buzz.

If I were you I wouldn't brag too much you of all people have been kicked off more forums and more times than the combined total that post here .Some I might add for those who do not know because of multiple identities .Even I might add on the web forum he now reigns over with an iron hand .--or so he thinks .
Don't take a darned thing this guy says seriously .
As for the vote, is that how you feel it should be handled? I am surprised that I never received any emails or PM's from many of you regarding this issue before this vote came to be. I'll have to think about that some more.

A vote concept seems rediculous.
Let the site ownership and management make it's own decisions.

It's as clear as mud. Could you point out the part about being banned.
i think MB might take and return abuse, rather than tell the teacher. Even at the risk of being the one caught from the last move maid. Just because others jump at any chance to take the other route, doesn't make them wirte and him wrong. In fact that mite make them something lesser.
i think most of his responses have been just that responsive to other forces. Sum, built up over time and distance; until he answered the knock at the door. Weather those forces are aggressive, or the equal and opposite passive aggressive; all focued to the same end as it shook out. And he clearly saw that and called it out.
i think Butch lends balance and depth to the other end of the spectrum. His steel tempered by the same werk; perhaps even more so in sum weighs. Lots of heavy thoughts need lightness to keep yourself balanced and real.

Agreed. And I believe that he should be let back and given the title of seargant-at-arms, and tasked with the responsibility of keeping this bored troll free.

They should point that out?
Why don't you point out where it says that any of us have like a right to become permanent fixtures?

crytal I think I was drinking that the other night.
The loudest pro-Butch forces seem to forget what they said about the Buzz, it's membership, and Tom in particular when Butch posted back at his site about his termination.
If this site is so full of "non-professionals", "hero-worshipers", "has been's" and "hobbyist-elites", why would any of you want to be here in the first place?
You know who you are, I know who you are. Want the rest of us to know who you are and what you said?
Instead of the passive-aggressive attitude and threats Reed, why not just put up or shut up?
The people whom you're referring to aren't the type that would say something in private they wouldn't repeat in public. My busting Tom's balls and opinion about the crappy board software here and some of the members isn't a secret.
Jeez... you're all in there like "I'll tell your mommy on you!". No wonder you hide on web forums.

Oakwilt, why do you keep on threatening people? If you want to post up what others have said then do it, quit talkin about it. Big deal what people said on this website and others, you think Tom and Mark dont know? It doesnt involve me, thats for sure. But frankly opinions on people vary, some may have said things about the buzz, tom, and whoever else, and they are still here. Youre a goof!
it's interesting to see so many newer folks voice there opinions on this subject because they weren't around to see the events unfold that forced mbs termination. Maybe you guys could pipe up on a couple other threads as well and try solving real problems and coming up with real solutions.
There's a new climber looking for help in the climbers thread, if you guys put half the effort into helping him as you have slamming each other the kid might just get some valuable information and tips. Just a suggestion. Now you can all get back to slandering good arborists names and tearing each other down time and time again. Enjoy
Come on guys, give Oakwilt a break!! He deserves a round of applause for posting something other than non tree-related liberal propaganda/conspiracy theories.
