i just wanna see what everyone thinks, you're welcome to comment as I will NOT.. I repeat NOT reply at all to any criticism either negative or positive :D flame on :bigthumbup:

Hey SlowAzz if you got one friend on here its me :)

who cares what anyone thinks, we all make mistakes or loose it once in a while. Hey were all human and allowed to let loose once in a while. Let's just not see this become an big issue.

Whoever wants Matt banned is just f*ckin retarded. EVERYONE has outbursts of emotion. To say you have never bursted out on something you found repulsive would be the biggest lie I have ever heard.

Granted he may have gone a little on the deepend with some of the comments, but there is no way he should be banned for them. I do think on the other hand that post should be deleted and should've just after it started. Give the admins credit though, they did edit some of the posts.

Look how many GOOD posts this guy has, yet you want him banned for a few bad posts?!?!?! wtf?

Let him STAY.

Well banning you would be supressing free speech, and that's obviously not what we're about here. You stated you opinion, backed it up, then things got a little out of hand. I think you said some hurtful things that you probably wouldn't have if you weren't so fired up at the time, but I say we forgive and forget.

Let's start anew.

Matt

If you check out that crazy sheet of paper the goverment has tucked away in parlement, it will state that everyone is intitled to free speech, so let Matt have his freedom, or move to another country :wacko:

its an internet forum people, you have to take everything said "with a grain of salt" due to the personal opinions they express.. I voted "who cares" because reallly.. who cares what he said? *shrug*

Boringest thread EVAR!!!! Well maybe not ever but Matt I think it should be your decision to step away don't let others decide it for you. If you want to stay then cool if you want to go I'll be dissapointed but thats cool too. I must admit though I haven't seen any of these "overboard" comments and the last problem I knew you had was with LS1-V8 a long time ago is that what this is about???

redbaron303
There was a thread a couple of days ago... started by Scin. where matt blew up...

Free speech is one thing. Uttering threats is another.

Having said that, SAP has generally been a constructive member, so I'm willing to forgive and forget (this time).

Now about that 1.8T comment........ :P

Here's the thread for anyone that's curious...


And I agree w/ Pat....


Now how bout that 1.8t......

colossus
If this were Salem you would be wearing the letter A. Seriously though who cares, it's your opinion. And that's ok.

wong
Lesson on liability.

If someone gets beat up or killed because of "free speach" on V8less, guess who gets a phonecall.

Yup the admins.

Sorta why V8less doesnt want to be associated with street racing.

wong
By the way, for how you stated your poll, I'd ban your ass.

Nightstalker
I really wonder how liability can really be placed on v8less when it comes to what is said here. Look at sites for things like the KKK in the US that talk about anti-black stuff and how they should not be allowed to live.. yet no one ever seems to do anything about that. A lot of us are very aware that comments made here affect people. I know personally that sarcasm is never translated well over the internet. But as far as banning Matt I have not really seen anything that warrents this.. It is possiable that I didn't see any of the posts but I read a LOT of the stuff on here.. I think Matt is a cool guy and I can think of a couple people I would ban before I would ban him personally.

I think when someone start making threats towards people on the board they become a liability to the administrators.

Nightstalker

Casanova
desturb? de-sturb? the act of unsturbing?

Scintillater
i dont't hink people should be banned unless they are making serious threats about causing personal injury to somebody. if it's a joke, that's one thing, but if it's serious, that's just not cool. i mean come on. this is thte internet where people learn and have fun. don't take it personally.'


on a side note...god what casanova said was too funny :lol:

I'd have to see the prior conversation to which led to this outburst in order to make a decision.

Casanova
for the record and possible future police investigation:

he made threats i felt afraid for my life i cried myself to sleep anything that may have happened to him is clearly done in complete and utter terror and self defense.

Matt getting banned or banning himself is not what I wanna see. What I wanna see is people respecting each other more. I wanna see the end of these stupid flamewars and E-threats.

Think before you write. that's all. People come to this forum to read and write about stuff that interests them, for the sense of community, being part of a group of people with the same interests. They don't want to read posts full of bullshit and petty wars between 2 or 3 people that often never even met in person.

as I said before, it takes 2 to start these stupid threads. One first moron who doesn't agree with someone else and, instead of articulating his opinion, just goes off and start calling names. Then it requires a second moron to actually take the bait and fire back some name-calling instead of just ignoring the post.

And while it might be argued that with 1300 members, it's bound to happen, there are others forums out there with a whole lot more members where you basically never see this happening.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

This thread is closed because ManHunter put it best.
