The only potential for cancellation in this situation was the potential loss of business from Pelican customers who would rather take their business elsewhere than be harassed by constant personal attacks and trolling.

The person who was banned was given several warnings by several moderators to turn down the heat. He was in violation of the forum rules. He was warned repeatedly, and ignored those warnings. There was not much more that we could have done.

Hopefully, this will be a learning lesson for him and he will return with a more temperate attitude.

I highly doubt this will be the case. He is too ate up with rage and hate. His main purpose here is to cause tension. He enjoys getting on peoples nerves. He lives to start arguments, even when he is proven wrong.

I think there’s at least one Pelican that has met him in real life, you might be able to get a read on who he is by talking to him.

The question that should be asked, the only question actually, why does he have one of my vacay in elbonia pix on his one drive?

Thanks Mods. Appreciate your efforts.

Why should he be allowed to return? :confused:

I was considering reporting some of the personal insults tossed his way but didn't want to get banned via association.

Not like that's happened before.

Culture of fear, historically speaking it works.

In retrospect maybe you should have stepped forward and said something.

Personally I don't have an issue with him because I ignore anyone on either side when they're acting like a Troll. Seems that some people just don't understand the concept... However that does become more difficult when someone decides to totally dominate PARF.

ckelly78z 03-03-2021 01:49 AM

With this new ban island member, does this mean that PARF won't have half of the started threads, and a majority of the posts done by one person at all hours of the day ?....Did he ever sleep ?

And as with all members, creating a second username / alias account results in a permanent ban.

Yeah.. does it really??:)... I mean really? I think there is a member here who is hell bent on proving that assertion wrong.

If an individual is determined, they can NOT be blocked from reappearing on an "open" forum, for technical reasons that Z understands imo. That said, I hope Terry drops the challenge and returns. The rest of you aren't helping imo... let the mods handle this and shaddup ;).

A challenge was issued that simply can NOT be enforced for technical reasons "as it is". Methinks it's best to let sleeping Corgis be ....

PARF is now somewhat reasonable imo.... unlike it's EVER been before, including when Z was here years ago. He has no "magic" that can ban an individual permamently either, only logon IDs or IP addresseses. Trust me on this....

Thank you mods!

Carry on....

He was a huge troll.
Kept doing dirty stuff for responses, then try to get whoever responded banned.
He tried to use the victim card for self inflicted problems.


When I took a break from the forum he would have been my #1 choice if I had powers to ban one user.
He just wouldn't learn, or he was a troll.
If he was smart, he would have learned.

Please report all violations, and we will do our best to moderate. But by the same token, don't expect the same level of action for someone who posts something inappropriate once in a while vs. someone who constantly posts inappropriately. The punishment must fit the crime, as they say.

PARF, especially in our current political environment, will continue to be filled with controversial posts that will cause emotional reactions from participants. That's all fine - speak your mind. But keep it on topic: remember the poopey head rule! (Personal attacks are not allowed).

Carry on...

Thank you Z and DD. Y'all earn every $ you make on this gig herding cats :D. I see that someone is not on the island anymore.... I encourage everyone to let these gentlemen do as they will. People make mistakes .... smart people learn from them tho :).

This place is awesome... warts and all :D
