Good Afternoon All!
A few people have reached out to me after the recent attempts by , , and requesting that they be banned, as they clearly came back simply to stir the pot. Back in September or so when some of this drama began, I was very much in the 'free speech/democracy' camp, and since taking over I think things were largely smooth around here. Given many of you contributed your own hard earned money to keep this place alive from that point up until 12 months from now or so, I'd like to put this to vote.
I am going to withhold posting my own opinions on the matter, but feel free to do so in this thread if you'd like, and to vote if you have an opinion.
I am honestly not sure on what a fair threshold/count would be, so we'll see if this goes overwhelmingly one way versus the other.

You can shake it, bake it and take it but all of those dudes are solid citizens who by and large ran afoul of [user not found] back when he believed this forum needed to reflect, to some degree, his geopolitical views. They left. Then [user not found] turned over the keys to you and also blew this pop stand. Which is like the active shooter who takes out half the class then kills himself.
Those cats aren't coming back anyway so a ban is like a United Nations condemnation action.........completely pointless.

Coming back to glance over the kicked ant hill is humorous. To think of showing up as "trolling".
The fact "people reached out" to you is a joke in and of itself. Enjoy the echo chamber and endless circle jerk.
This place is a thin shell of its former meat spinning glory.
in summary. GET OUT. REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

they clearly still have some interest, they posted in this thread literally minutes after I created it.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 2:25 pm You can shake it, bake it and take it but all of those dudes are solid citizens who by and large ran afoul of [user not found] back when he believed this forum needed to reflect, to some degree, his geopolitical views.

I personally feel like a few pissing matches during the most tumultuous period on this planet in our lifetimes is not worthy of permanent animosity, but it is not my call to make.
FWIW I voted no. But you do you, boo.dubshow wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 2:30 pm Coming back to glance over the kicked ant hill is humorous. To think of showing up as "trolling".

I could be really shitty, but I'll refrain because I still respect some of the people on here, include herr griff. But y'all halarous, keep on. ban me, ain't care. I'm sure I'll own another Volkswagen, and I'm sure I'll see the rise and fall of another exile volkswagen forum.

And this is why I don't come around often, and also why most of the local forums around me died. Too many people get into a pissing match with each other and it goes to shit. We're adults, we should be able to have some civil discourse about stuff, even in these troubled times.
We're all not ever gonna like/agree with each other, but to try and tout that your view point is the only one that matters and piss on everyone for believing something different is beyond childish. I'd love for them to come back and be part of this place thriving and continuing to grow, but I'm also perturbed by the fact that members reached out to the Admins asking for them to ban said members as well.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but that's my .02 on the situation.
