hehe, it's okay ;)

I guess my issue with the banning is that while UF_Pike had said some nasty things, I noticed he said it to ONLY people who have bashed him first. There's many many other GCers who rip other GCers into shreds w/ their tongue who have never even insulted them specifically before and they never got in trouble. I can't count how many people who bashed me in the past who I NEVER specifically insulted them before, and I can't count how many times I witnessed it happening to other people.

In case you missed it, John said:

Regardless of what people may think of this individual, I read several of the derogatory comments that were made to indivuals via GC Threads.

Whether he was bashed by individuals or not, is not the question here. He was being abusive and derogatory to many people because of physical atributes, color of skin or origin!

This person was warned many times and did nothing to correct what he posted.

While some of you profess to this person being a nice guy, I too backed him until he reverted to his previous actions!

He is the only one who did it to himslef! Period!

John does not Ban someone on a whim or what any of the Moderators say about an individual.

John is the final authority on banning and has ways to find out if it is the same person. His decision is final. He does not do it lightly even though there were many people who did not want this person back on site. John has given plenty of chances to no avail. UF-P had the rope and he hung himself with no help!

Remember, John, who happens to be the admin for GC banned pike. Good luck with your "investigation!!"

*edited to add*

YOu know, I agree w/ everyone that has been saying what is the point of this thread or why argue over it, so after this I'm going to leave it. I was just looking at the title, and to be honest, there's your answer. "Someone tell me why UF Pike was banned AGAIN."

On that note, it's a monday, school is hard, I'm drinking a beer, now who's with me? Say you now!

As John said this would be impossible to do since the offensive material was edited out or deleted as soon as it was reported. Unless someone was keeping a file on him (hopefully not) such a search wouldn't bear much fruit.

To give all of you UF Pike lovers hope-
He was banned once. He came back under a different name. Like the bad guy in a horror movie, or the good guy in your fave action flick, he will be back.
Even if his IP address is blocked, he goes to a university. I'm sure there are computer labs there. Something tells me this isn't the last of him.

Either way, I too need a beer. Actually, fuck that. I want a beer and a shot. It's gonna be a long nite.

EDITED TO ADD- I obviously am not a MOD and have no inside information so I could be totally wrong. I'm just making an guesstimation.

Everyone should read this, and read it now. And once you are done reading it, read it again. This is by far the best, and IMO, only good thing to come of this thread...

I suggest you all join in...

yea..so I ran out of things to say.

LMAO -- I'd almost forgotten about that! :D :D :D

Also people, do try to be nicer. Some of the posters on this thread could charitably be called rather disparaging of UDZETA's inquiry if not downright patronizing.

Now I have interacted with UDZETA and can attest that she not only presents herself well, is well spoken, but also shows a keen intellect.

We should all endeavor to show her some intellectual courtesy.

Thank you for listening to this Public Service Announcement. :D

James, go drink a beer, now!

Don't forget that we also have to have the debate on whether or not he really is a Pike. At least you all are nice enough to spare me from that huge embarassment.

I had a couple of Pete's Wicked while working on my paper - does that count?

Oh, that counts, yea it does.
