Kudzu might be in self-imposed exile (I'm not really sure)

[Clams]

Welcome back bro. Hope things are well. You were missed, it's good to see you again.

Welcome back bro. Hope things are well. You were missed, it's good to see you again.

Thanks, Clams. It's good to be back.

[Tequila Cowboy]

The founder of the "listening" thread!! Welcome back man!

[beantownbubba]

Already said hey elsewhere but if this is going to be the official welcome back thread, what the heck.

Welcome back, KG, you've been missed.

[scotto]

Glad you're back.
Cheers!

[littlemamma]

Hey KG! top 5 faves list us yet?

[Smitty]

welcome back!

[Kudzu Guillotine]

Thanks for the warm welcome all.

You can put me back on the MIA list. I was recently banned from the board for 24 hours for what was deemed by Admin as "unacceptable behavior". This entailed calling it like I see it with Rev Matt and, as silly as it may sound, standing up to tinnitus for derogatory remarks he made about Matthew Sweet in the Listening thread. It's not the first time I've spoken to Matt in that manner, nor have I been the only one. Yet, I was singled out for speaking my mind. I have no desire to be a part of a board where these type of double standards are in effect. Anyone that would like to stay in touch, please feel to drop me a line.

Dude, they pulled a Branded* on Mod Zip and HE still posts here.

*Branded is an American Western series which aired on NBC from 1965 through 1966, sponsored by Procter & Gamble in its Sunday night 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time period, and starred Chuck Connors as Jason McCord, a United States Army Cavalry captain who had been drummed out of the service following an unjust accusation of cowardice. The opening title credits of each episode in the series feature a depiction of McCord's cashiering: his hat is pulled off, his epaulets are torn from his uniform, his buttons are pulled off, and his saber is broken, while a drum plays over Dominic Frontiere and Alan Alch's theme song.

What the fuck has happened to this place?

[Beebs]

Would you feel like it was more just around here if I got banned for 24 hrs too?

Cause I'm mostly a dick. I can pull that off.

[Sub]

Lol some of you really racked up some posts since I've been a regular huh?

Surely there has been lots of disagreements and such during all these post right? How's this any more different people been butting heads since 9bullets and we all usually agree to disagree is this not still our normal protocol?

[brett27295]

Well there's always the two Facebook groups, it's pretty hard to get banned over there.

You're an awful thoughtful guy to be such a dick. And please don't pull it off till you're in private.

I'd rather an environment be allowed to exist here where one could stand up to assholes like tinnitus without being asked to apologize to them. Which begs the question, why wasn't he permanently banned long ago? As for the Rev, I have no problem with him as a person, it's just that he comes across as though he's a member of the Truckers and the world's leading authority of all they say and do. BTW, I haven't been the first to make that observation (in public or private) but I'm sure as hell the one that's being singled out for it.

Perhaps and unfortunate combination of terms, in retrospect.

With all due respect Kudzu, are you fucking kidding me? Unless there's something I'm unaware of Tinnitus's greatest offense is occasionally being a bit obtuse. How can you gripe a 24 hour wrist slap while calling for a permanent banning based on what, hurt feelings?

It took something like 8 years to get rid of LJ and he regularly, openly called for the extermination of swaths of the human race.

As a fellow long time member around these parts who would like to see you stick around - take a breath and get a god damned grip.

[John A Arkansawyer]

As a fellow long time member

You see? He knows he's a dick, even when he's trying to be nice. And note that "fellow" part. I wouldn't take that off of him if I were you.

who would like to see you stick around

Which makes two of us. Three, if you count Little Johnnie. Which, really, I'd rather you didn't. That's Beebs' gig.

[Beebs]

killin' me John.

You're a dirty old man with questionable humor. Please, don't ever change.

[Sub]

Do we still blame clams? If so this is all his fault.

[brett27295]

I can't remember the last time I got upset over something that was said on an internet message board. Probably 1999 or so.

I ain't doin' nothin' wrong. Except maybe the young girlfriend. But she's more than a third my age, so it's all good*, and legal in every state.

*tiny update: Did I really say "it's all good"? Kill me now before I start singing about a fucking salt shaker.

I give a flying fuck.

Sigh. After a certain amount of time shouldn't we be used to each other's foibles? Kind of like a small town or a business office or whatever. The downside is that we can often predict what others are going to say before they say it. The upside is that we root for Iowa State in the tournament, there's not a lot of flaming or overwrought reactions and there are probably fewer misunderstandings than occur in less familiar surroundings. At least that's what I would have said.

Damn, beebs, those were some of the best straight lines ever. I'm sorry I didn't see them soon enough to take advantage.

I see what you did there, bovine.

what on earth are you talking about? long ago? for being an occasional smartass? sorry your skin is so thin, KG. if anyone should be leading the tar and feather campaign against me, it's Zip. we've gotten purple nurples from each other but i can't imagine that anyone's taken anything so seriously.


maybe i'm wrong? what say you, citizens of 3DD? if i'm that much of an ogre, i'll take my punishment.

I would chalk it up to it being the offseason. But that's the UGA football board that I frequent, not this one. No full moon.

Oh well. I personally don't like bannings but then yall probably knew that already.
