Blue94svxlsi PMed me and ask that I post a poll, so I did. I have tried to stay out of the discussion because I am a little bias on what the first posts were. I had to delete his first two, and those made the "Race" one look like a fairy tale. I knew that I could not have that on the site. I have had some PMs and discussions with him and suggested what he might do to to fit in here, but it didn't seem to help. In my poll, I did not have "ban him" as a choice. I only wanted to poll what people thought of his stories. That is what he wanted to know and he said that if members didn't want him to write that kind of story, he would not write them anymore. He took some of the last polls as a vote that his stories were not liked and has decided to move on to greener SVXes. Off topic is not the issue here, but content is.

i cast my vote.
peace. i hope he doesn't let the dizzle hit him in the izzle on the way out. word.

if i wanted to read a bunch of racist bull**** i'd visit KKK.com . if i wanted to see an attention-starved fool, i'd turn on the Anna Nicole Smith show. i'm not interested in either of those things, and i don't think they belong HERE. whine about free speech and all, but this guy is simply an idiot.

i would have blasted him after seeing his "Race" post, but i haven't had time in the last few days.

I don't understand the race thoughts... color means nothing. Except, what color is your svx?

Did you all read that? the color of one's skin is about important as, "what do you like Coke or Pepsi?"

It's culture that is the important definition of a human. And one culture is no different or better than another, except when that culture promotes hate and violence. That culture regardless of whether it is Red, White, Black, Brown or Purple with pink spots should be removed from the face of the earth. ( I don't mean harmed just changed)

"Gansta's" do not promote anything positive that I've seen. The far Religious Right, Any Extremist organization (I don't care if it's intent is to promote the well being of ice cream) needs to realize that the Extreme Ideas are very rarely the ones that survive. It is a blend of ideas and compromise that last.

Hey... This was a poll thread... that's my opinion... and if because of it I end up on someone's ignore list... that's your right! [Rant\off]
I can't say it any better so I won't try. Thanks for doing the work for me. (B-T-W, it was the "race" one that put him on my ignore list)

If I had it my way, I wouldn't want any off topic conversation here because it gets in the way of talking about our cars which is what brought us all together. I hate it when I search this board and find that it goes of on a tangent and then I have to scroll through all the BS and never find the answer I was looking for.

I haven't openly complained about it because that is what makes these boards alive and I'm accepting that people have a right to bring up their comments in post where it really shouldn't be(I know, know... this has all be discussed before but I still see it from time to time). Obviously we will find that we'll all have other things in common with people that drive or have interest in the same car. I just want to make sure that others, as they join, don't get blasted because of they are not the "norm" here. I'm not just defending this guy, but all the newbies that may contribute to the board. If people we're more open and understanding then they will begin to understand and eventually accept others(cough ..ca$h.. cough) differences and experiences. If you shut the door or flame people right away then you don't get the chance to understand where they are coming from, which seems to me whats wrong with the rest of the world. I write this because I am amazed at the things I learn from diversity in people. The newbies will begin to understand how this board works and fall into the "norm" as well. Life is too short to not get to know someone, especially all the people here.

OT posts.

I must admit that I don't read a lot of OT posts.

I did read his first post and found it unfunny and offensive.

I don't think posts of that type should be on this site. I am sure there are sites that would appreciate his writing.

It just is not here.

Oh, well, in the jargon of the late president, JFK, let me say "this about that".

When I read the first gangsta post by this bozo from sanbernadino, obviously a lesser left coast town, I figured he thought SVX stood for the "Stinkin' Vicious Xenophobe" forum & simply was too stoned to notice. As more poop piled up, I was surprised his crap wasn't promptly flushed down the porcelain convenience. Then, I see some actual defense for this clown. Look - I'd be honored if Ernest Hemingway came back from the dead, & posted "The Sun Also Rises" on our humble site, but hey - Ernie, it's an automotive garage, not the drawing room. Please move on, Mr. H.

"And so it goes", as expressed by Linda Ellerbie.

Yes....CAN this poor excuse for anything remotely human, NOW!

Ron (O/T....Who me?!).

Earl,

I think you played right into this fools plans when you posted this poll…. I am not an avid writer (as you can tell from my post count), but do read posts that interest me and use the board for technical advise. I’ve read one or two sentences from his idiotic posts then close them and move on.
However, since this poll, I’ve read two of his posts (as have many others by the read count) and I think you SHOULD have put another selection on the poll - “BAN THIS GUY FROM THE BOARD”…. I think the vote would be overwhelming!!!

Bill

I will never read another one his posts....

Peace everyone!

Hey all this issue is for the most part dead. I think Earl has posted at least twice that Blue is long gone. We don't have to worry about ignoring his posts or any more trouble from him. In fact, according to what Earl has posted in plain view, Blue went so far as to REQUEST that his membership here be revoked. I'm surprised someone that could post such filth and hate could be man enough to realize his method of posting was not welcome here and that he could leave voluntarily, but the fact remains that he did. He is gone, issue closed.

Now the other issues that this thread have brought to light are quite interesting and may be worthy of discussion. I think the actions of Blue have tainted some very worthwhile opinions. I think most of the people that have posted in support of "free speech" (within the guidelines of the TOS) were not necessarily specifically defending Blue, but this was just the most current event that put some over the edge to speak out. Well someone showed me the Race post that I had never seen before and it disgusted me. I can see how anyone that read it can not remain objective on this issue, you could never think of Blue as a decent person no matter what he posted in the future (and of course he never did post anything redeeming after that, just slightly cleaned it up, but may have been close to breaking the TOS still). So I think using this thread to hash out the whole issue of what is okay and not okay to post might be a bad thing.

Sorry, but I could not stand the "Back In Da Hizzle" thread. I didn't read any before or after that, nonetheless.

I'll chime in as one who didn't read any of "blue's" posts. As MacGyver noted, this thread has brought up several issues that I do want to toss in my 2 cents on. What I've found in my less than 1 year's participation in this site is that there is a definite "SVX Family" that exists. This was confirmed 100% when I participated in the Reading meet with my son. As with any family, there will be differences in opinion. The key is that every family has "rules" - both written and unwritten - that govern its existence (do no harm, racial jokes have no place in general conversation, etc.). When we agree to being "moderated" (Ensteele and Mike), we agree to "adult supervision" in making sure these rules aren't broken (bent at times, yes, but not broken). I think Ensteele's post about trying to work things out with "blue" was exactly the way a family deals with things in a constructive manner.
I now return you to your regular programming..

I coming a little late to this party. Someone PM'd Blue's "slave" post to me. There is no need to post that kind of stuff here or anywhere. If blue dosen't clean up his act, I vote to get rid of him. Just my opinion.

I'm a caucasion, old fart male over 40 and over 200 ...................lbs.

I never read any of his posts.... What was so bad about him??? Maybe when I have time I'll look through and try to find some of them.... But it sounds like he dosen't want to be apart of the club anymore... So lets let him leave.... No point in trying to get him to stay around when he causes everyone here to get all pissy at what he writes... So lets cancle his membership just like he requested.... Cool???

I think we can end the poll now. He posted a question about his SVX and said that he was sorry about his past posts. I think he is ready to become a member who will be more reasonalble. Lets give him a chance and let him give it another try.
