Who wants to ban BoltJames?

:tflamer: BoltJames :rocketwho

BoltJames :thefinger

 

ban him! gogogogo

 

OMFG plz

 

Worse thread ever nomination. BJ...you are fantastic in my book.

 

i concur

 

no one should be banned i think. just ignore him. every time bj posts something i tend to read it twice now since most of his stuff is BS but still banning him. it's a waste of time since he can register as someone else anyway and continue.

 

I did come across one of his post that actually made good sense, but then there are those juvenile comments that makes me think that there actually could be two boltjames – Jeckyl / Hyde? And then there are those comments he makes that are just absolutely uncalled for. He has thrown out both racial and sexual slurs that are totally uncalled for. For all this, I’d say kick him out. Ignoring him didn’t work for me because there are so many responses to his ignorance that I end up confused reading half of the argument. Just ban him all together. That way this site will be truly beneficial – information sharing among TL drivers at courteous level.

 

Obviously everyone is due their own opinion, but I disagree this site isnt just about sharing information about our beloved TL's, its about networking...building relationships...friends. Its about expressing how we feel about certain things posted and giving our own opinions as why...so everyone can be as educated as possible about the question or topic posted.

Does BJ say somethings that might bother people...yeah probably so, but I live in a glass house as do many others here and criticizing someone for being themself without out evidence of personal attack is borderline hypocritical when thats exactly whats going on here.

Vote to ban BJ...I vote we delete this stupid thread and get back to talking cars...this is a waste of time and webspace. I am sorry I even read this thread.

 

You mean another name like "sonytl"?

 

I think BJ is often funny as hell, he's welcome here.

 

NO WAY!
If he so offends you, don't read his posts.

"Worst pole ever!"

 

Hey! Bolt James might be a bigoted, loud-mouth, opinionated asshole but he's OUR bigoted, loud-mouth, opinionated asshole! We all have our moments. So, he has more than most. Get over it. "That which does not kill me makes me a better person." -Goethe

If NeronBob can forgive and forget, who are we to do otherwise.

I'll just repeat my advice to BoltJames: Double-up on the Prozac and switch to decaf.

XP

 

Wow! This must be the first topic he has never commented on. Hey BJ cat got your tongue?

 

Didn't we have the similar thread here weeks ago to another guy? BOSS will delete this thread very soon...


My answer is "nay"... but I don't vote, either, you don't have the choice I like...

If you don't like what he posts, please use that little triangle to report bad post... I think BOSS will listen.
:o

 

With most of the people who frequent this forum we get interesting car talk. With others it's a little like going to the zoo. Both can be enjoyable. It can certainly break up the cupholder/EL42/Headliner monotony.

 

Who was the other guy? I already!

 

Everyone has their dumb moments, definitely. Holding grudges is not my style.

 

What a time for BJ to be offline, spankin' his monkey!!!
:lol1:

 

I think we should keep BoltJames and ban everyone else. Seriously, I like his posts and its idiotic to suggest banning him.

 

The acerbic, confrontational quote above, from a different thread, is precisely the reason bolt should not be banned, but rather should be promoted to Team Camel Demigod and Official Greek Chorus.

It isn't a question of whether you agree with his commentary or not. Those who are emphatically against speeding might agree. Those with radar detectors probably would not. Personally, not that bolt should care what I think, but I happen to agree his original Columbine comment would have been better off left unsaid. I would also not personally have posted that autopsy pic.

But that's not the point. Bolt's comments, whether you agree with them or not, are entertaining, intelligent, creative, and most important, thought-provoking. And THAT is the point. What makes free speech valuable is that it promotes free thought, an exchange of ideas, an opportunity for people to think through stuff and decide for themselves. Which of course sometimes lead to debates, arguments, and spirited but playful insults of the "Jane, you ignorant slut" variety.

Unfortunately there is a small but vocal minority in America who are afraid of other people's opinions and afraid of the ways other people express themselves. Such people want us all to cower under some sort of moral code of THEIR choosing. Screw that. Certainly, morality and ethics are important in general. But what makes life in America so great is that none of us gets to be King and we all have to learn to get along anyway.

Ban someone? From a fucking Internet board? About a car? That's actually a far more ridiculous concept than just about anything that's come out of bolt's electronic mouth.

 

Exactly right TLG, but he (BJ) can still be a dickwad (official Team Camel Dickwad?) most of the time.

 

You need to add option 3 to your poll. "Hell no. This poll is stupid." Consider that my write-in vote.

 

Yes, I know. But they're in the White House and they have a majority in Congress!

 

I went back and read a few posts to see what the excitement was about. He may be harsh at times but nothing worth getting banned over. Some posts are actually informative. BJ makes this board at least a little interesting.
Lighten up. It's a web board about a car, not brain surgery.

 

Yes, it is a board about the TL NOT sexual fantasies or the profanity he seems he has to use. I personally think he is disgusting!

 

Ban this guy?!!! Hell no-----fuking 'political correctness' here we are goddam voteing on the fuckiing internet if aguy is offensive to our automobile club !!!!!!!

 

you guys are too much...don't you realize, we make the ban calls, not you!
