If he didn't have better things to do he could get a cease and desist order against you*** Kooroots is correct. Doobie has options, should he choose to explore them. <a href="http://www.footballforums.net/forums/showthread.php/35778-Webmaster-to-sue-message-board-troll" target="_blank">http://www.footballforums.net/...rd-troll</a> ***GIE Media, a Cleveland company that runs the online pest-control portal PCT Online, is suing an Arkansas man who the company says is constantly leaving obnoxious and offensive messages on its Internet bulletin board and then, after he is banned from the site, sneaking back using fake names*** Gee, that sounds familiar! ***GIE is alleging trespassing, breach of contract and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It is seeking at least $5,000 from Huckaby. The company also wants the judge to bar him from visiting PCT Online*** I say if Doobie wants to look into it, he should sue for a lot more...like $50,000 or so minimum! I trust he as kept careful records of the activities here. If he hasn't, *I* have and I'll be happy to provide it back to him if he'd like. ***PCT Online's message board (www.pctonline.com/messageboard) is a tame collection of messages about fire ant treatments, squirrels in the attic and the best way to capture a feral cat. But Huckaby and a few other users chased away many of the regular users with a mix of angry messages and racially charged exchanges, according to the lawsuit and regular visitors to the site. The suit says Huckaby's exchanges cut traffic to the Web site and as a result hurt advertising revenue and sopped up staff time required to bar him and his comments*** I guess we now finally know what feral cats and Disney chats have in common!

Get a clue Beau, the management doesn't want you here. How many times will you need to be banned to get it through your thick skull?

Eliminating WE would be easier. However, if memory serves, this section was created because WE-type topics became problematic elsewhere. In the end, you can't avoid them. That said, I would very grudgingly agree to making this section a premium section, where for a nominal fee, we could participate. If Doobie or someone has to be bothered with it, make it worth their time. I wouldn't want to speculate on the cost (I will anyway), having no idea what something like that would take, but $12 a year (like a dollar a month), is kind of where I'm thinking. Maybe it would take more, beats me, but something that gives you a trail to those who would still choose to abuse the system. One could ban certain credit cards possibly at that point, much easier to do than IPs or screen names.

So if someone wants to correct these people with thoughtful analysis, or worse, with facts, then they're just intellectual elites trying to play gotcha. Remember Billy Carter? Roger Clinton? Too bad for them they came through too early. In 2012 they'd both be U.S. Senators with a book tour and a show on Fox, polling fairly well in their Presidential bids. Jimmy was a peanut farmer, but used to be a nuclear engineer. Ron wasn't quite senile enough. Bubba was a closet Rhodes scholar. Dubya some how had a master's degree. Clearly they all tried in their own way to be morons, but they just weren't moronic enough. These folks won't be happy till the next President arrives at the Inauguration in the short bus.
