If the gloves don't fit...

It appears that our self procalimed Johnny Cochran has been banned.

Thank you. He needed to go.

Did I miss something about Larchmont being ousted also? I would do a search, but I wouldn't know where to begin...

Which makes me think, we should make a poll that would help determine the capital of sympathy he has built throughout his posts here.

I don't agree with everything Crazytree has said, but I do think he's been misunderstood a number of times. You'll notice he never uses smileys to point out his jokes. So you have to figure out the humorous parts on your own.

dnb, who tries hard not to use smileys

I agree. However, I fail to see the humor in this particular post:

Originally posted by crazytreee but then again... this is partially my fault. I should have never expected a bunch of failures who will most likely never make more than $50K a year and still live with their parents so they can tool around in an Acura to be able to "act right". Maybe if some of you got a decent piece of pussy every once in awhile you would be more laid back.

Good luck to you all in your mediocre futures. Maybe if some of you actually make some some substantial amount of money [not very likely]... and my lined-up job works out... you can join me on some of the 911 forums. Cheers.

I'm sure there are plenty of people making over 50 K here on this forum, I choose not to waste it on a porsche though. At the rate he's going, his job won't be lined up and we'll see him on the Civic forums

What I don't understand is why in Earth would someone want to contribute to a site that clearly doesn't want them The mods. don't like him and a lot of users feel the same- I don't have feelings either way, he's just a little over dramatic.

And yes some of us are in the over 50k income bracket and climbing and no it doesn't make us any better then any one else- its just money! And of course the obligatory

dnb, who tries hard not to use smileys
I agree, except that I try to use smileys after being flamed for a misinterpreted sarcastic remark

We are losing our rabble-rousers, which IMO is not a good thing. I just read a post where some noob called the 325i a piece of junk, and Buff-Daddy didn't even rip into him. What's with that???

JCG, who thinks crazytree lost lots of sympathy with that quoted post

So because I have 100 posts vs 1000 posts, that makes me a noob? I bought a TSX, not a BMW. The question was asked if we thought a TSX was better or a BMW. This is a TSX forum, if some guy owns several BMW's and comes on here to rip into me as you would say, maybe our moderators aren't looking out for the right people. What's with some of you guys....maybe now I can see a new perspective on where crazytree was coming from! WTF!

CMF I think you're missing the sarcasm in JCG's post. B-Diddy is known for fiercely defending the BMW lineup and we haven't heard from him in a while. It was just funny that he didn't jump on your opinion.

Nobody is ripping on you. There are a lot of people here that have been members for over a year and have less posts than you.

I don't think the mods ever disliked crazytree, I know I found his posts entertaining and sometimes he made great points. I know fdl and the others felt the same. But when the arguing between himself and fdl began it appeared crazy got more and more insulting towards fdl and others instead of at least stopping and attempting to work things out. Creating 10 or so alternate usernames to do nothing but come back and insult a mega mod does not to me anyway show me someone whos looking to work through their problems.

Crazy sent myself and I'm guessing others PM's after this went down . He seemed resonable and even somewhat apologetic in these PM's. If he done that immdeiately instead of acting like he did, things would have been alot different right now.

And cmf like Dan said, I hope you see the sarcasm in jcg post.

don't see it, but I'll take your word for it!
That's kinda the point though, maybe some people didn't see crazytrees sarcasm, despite the PM he sent to certain people. Not to defend him because I don't know the situation either way, but how is it he gets kicked off a forum for remarks unwanted, yet we have avid BMW owners on here that will talk the same way....Make sense? It doesn't to me.
Either way, like I said on the other thread, why can't we all get along?

cmf, BuffDady never made racist remarks or called anyone a pedophile. Trust me when I say the 2 are very different.

And yes we can all get along

Here's where your mistaken cmf. crazytree was not banned because he made "unwanted remarks" he was banned because he was insulting to not only a mod but to all the sites members. He was making personal attacks and continued to do so after being warned several times. If he had been experssing a opinion like he had been for nearky a year on this site he would not have been banned.

Buff-Daddy, Gilboman and other BMW owners who vist this site are not insulting and do not engage in personal attacks, thats why they hav'nt been banned. If they had been doing so they would be warned to stop ( I think B-D was warned once, although I could be wrong) Liking a 3 series over a TSX on a TSX forum is not grounds for banning.

But your right about one thing, why can't we all just get along.

Do people read everything thatis written in a post?
I said I didn't really know the situation...don't want to know even though everyone has broken it down.
I never said ban anyone from this site.
I give up! Everyone else wins. I won't put up thoughts or opinions on this site anymore. If I can't factually answer a question, I won't post anymore! Thanks for all the clarification people!

I think dom just wanted to clarify.

Lets just forget it anyways.

This message was obviously designed to raise a ruckus, and it worked. Why, it's just like posting "the TSX is a second-rate sports sedan because ... <insert domn's Gilboman FAQ here>."

I just want to point out two things:

1. Crazytree himself has been "tooling around" in an Acura.

2. Given aforementioned rabble-rouser's current situation, it's quite possible that he is not making more than $50k/year.

dnb, who thinks Crazytree will find this thead more entertaining than a porn film

Yeah, I can attest to that. I received a pretty nasty PM from him that really showed his true colors. It basically included a really disgusting picture meant to bad-mouth my car. For the most part, I ignored it.

That's why when he started posting about problems with his TSX I felt a bit of vindication as his "vaunted" TSX wasn't all that.

Just thought I'd share that.

Probably, he's a lot more civil than before. Or maybe he found a better place to troll cause I don't see a lot from him nowadays.

Yes cmf, I was indeed being sarcastic. Don't take it personally. I'd say it's pretty ironic too considering the statement that preceded it!

Dayumn, a guy goes away for the weekend and all hell breaks loose. I thought the mods gave him a lot of lattitude. I didn't like the tone of his posts but the content was interesting, particularly his battle with Acura. I sure wanted to know how that turned out. Towards the end there, he did go a bit "Larch" on us, with all the new posts directed at the mods only.

My question is: What website will Crazy be a member of now to support his obsessive-compulsive habit of useless posts and general hatred of his "Lemon"?

P.S. You know damn well he is reading this thread.
