I think it is pretty obvious you know this is wrong and you are using the fact that the consequence is quite to small to rationalize that. It isn't that the whole thing is severe it is that it is wrong and completely out of character for how this site has been run for a long time.

This line he wrote fits you.

"There are a series of posters here that come on here to do nothing but sling shit, and lay down verbal beat downs. "

No big deal. I am not trying to get you banned...I don't hate you but it is who you are on this board. I think my point still stands.

That being said, being banned temporarily is NOT life altering. Unless you are Clayton.

And Zach, you do have a point, but it isn't like the mods and selected members are running through the CP streets like the gestapo, banning people on a weekly basis just because they can. This vote was done in good nature, at least that was my impression.

Well, I think this board is a changin' and I think this is pretty harmless. I don't however, think that this particular deal we have going on is wrong. I think it's entertaining. It's a few days for the biggest douches of this website as voted on by the people.

You're one of the biggest asshats on here. I bet you have a horrible life, constantly berated and emasculated by your bitch wife, your sisters and a female boss. This is the only part of your day that makes you feel like a man, being spiteful to people on an internet BB. You go boy....

I haven't sparred with Iowanian for a long time.

And the milkman battles are rare, and frankly, always instigated by him.

I love the drama on this site. LOVE. IT. I think I'm the only mod that does. That said, again, this is nothing more than a temporary vacation for someone who makes it a practice to come on here and verbally abuse people. And no, I don't think Fraz qualifies as that.

This is my first major controversy as a moderator of this board, and it may be my last. It's an experiment, and in my eyes, there isn't anyone in that final 4 that I'm going to bleed for. So, if the people think this is a good idea, they'll vote. If they don't, they won't, and I couldn't see us doing it again next year.

But I still personally think it's a fantastic idea. If someone really can't live without posting here for a few days, they should seek professional help. It's not like anyone is being permabanned over it.

not at all my point. the point I was attempting to make is that there's no debating that you're polarizing, whether it's with trolls or those who are 'valuable to the community.' I have nothing against you, obviously. but it is what it is.
