You are one low-rent, no shame individual. You attack political affiliation, profession, and now a woman’s physical characteristics. Get off this site with your trash.
Yet another personal attack from Boynton Brother
Do you not understand how this works??????
Quit the personal attacks or you will be gone.
Haven't you noticed some nasty posters are MIA? Never to return? Rowland isn't kidding. If you have any interest in continuing to have the privilege to post, stick to the point & not the playground.
I truly hope I never get banned, because I love coming to this site, and I think Rowland does a fantastic job running it, and being the ring leader of the Whipping Post section.
But it seems like it's ok to make personal attacks against public figures, even if they are good people who have done nothing wrong. It seems like it's ok to attack the women of the #metoo movement (gender), age (millenials), and political affiliation......all of which are protected from discrimination in our Constitution. But if I respond by attacking the behavior of that person committing the discrimination, then it results in a ban? I sure hope not.
If someone wants to come here to be provocative and insult, then they should expect to get it right back. This notion that someone can attack a public figure, and then be protected from someone responding in kind, is simply illogical, and not something I can do.
I hope Rowland amends the policy, so that it requires him to examine all of the context surrounding the comments. If there is a nasty personal attack out of the blue, then yes, ban them. But if the "personal attack" is in response to something provocative, then I hope Rowland would decide that there is no violation, since the poster was looking for a rise out of people.
Just my 2 cents. I wanted to make that statement so that if I do get banned, yall will know exactly why. Hope to see you all in the forum!
All the dude is suggesting is we here at this site not call each other names. Y'know, like we learned in freakin' kindergarten.

Ok, so we’ll all attack each other without name-calling, and problem solved? Please.

You probably should've just pm-ed this to Rowland and spared us the sniffles.
Take it however you like. It was in response to a PM I received. The point I’m trying to make to everyone, hence the post here, is to offer another way to improve the forum - by going after the ones provoking trouble. Sorry to offer a suggestion.
It's all good dude.
No, it’s an outlet for YOU because you can’t express your bigotry in public because of the shame and rejection you’d receive. It’s pretty easy for me to call Trump a dirty scum bag in public. Racists don’t have this freedom, and it REALLY bugs them.
Boynton Brother
You are doing a lot of laughing at people. Only an insecure passive-aggressive jacka$$ does this.
It’s your ignorant, low rent, childish manner in which you present them
I think I get BIGV’s point. It took me a while because of how childish and demented it is
If by "chuckle" you mean "being a complete jerk to people based on their political affiliation", then yes, you "chuckle".
Are you ever not a jerk towards Democrats? Grow up already.
I never called you anything, but you included yourself in that last line.
Dude, stop tattling to Rowland. I’m sure he has better things to do. Handle it yourself. You are not a victim if you come to the site to fight and argue and “laugh yourself to sleep”.

I don’t see personal attacks in any of those examples.

Having to resort to comments about perceived behavior and/or personality traits of your debate opponent.... probably means you're LOSING.
I just saw this thread for the first time today. I got used to ignoring the "Topped Threads". I should probably go delete some of my earlier posts. 😉
I like it though. I do wish BigV would provide dates with his examples though. As I am reading through all of them I kept asking myself, "I Wonder when that was?"
May I ask what means members have to block and/or ignore those we find most offensive?
I don't wanna be tempted any longer by the dumbass demographic in our fine populace.
Please advise...Thanks!
most offensive?
Please define further....

Patriots fans.
I suggest doing the adult thing. Call the person(s) out by name and the specific post and have the community, being board members and the alleged perpetrator discuss the actual post. Intent, context, and motive can be misconstrued easily by those quick to take offense at everything. Complaining to the authoritative person with generalizations is not the way to approach finding a solution. Comments are very subjective, what is offensive to one isn't to another.

PLEASE READ: Personal Attacks Will Result in a Ban
"Personal attacks"....As in directed at an individual poster here on this site
In recent weeks, blacks were called the N-word, Jews have been denigrated, and a woman’s physical appearance was insulted. On top of that, Allman Brothers fans on your site are at each other’s throats. To prevent the personal attacks, you should target those who intentionally come here to disrupt the civil discourse that makes this site so great. The Allman Brothers website shouldn’t be a place where women and minorities are slandered and dragged through the mud because it’s somebody’s opinion, or permitted because the target is famous.
I don’t believe racial or religious slurs should be allowed here, nor should people insult the physical appearances of women.
Were any of these personal?
Or are you lobbying for censorship because you are offended?

I believe Boynton Brother has returned
No sir. I'm brand new to the site, and I love it so far.
Interesting in that the response is one that appears to show you know who Boynton Brother is and have gone out of your way to deny it on what is probably the least visited thread on this site.
