Logan11 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Problem is .....about five 'ban-ees" from this site flocked straight to Pete's place... Pete himself hasn't been over the top or abusive that I have seen. Other than Vim Toot, I had no idea who these guys were.... I registered under CT Blizzy lol I did laugh when I saw the banner that said "A Free Speech community" but "free speech" on the internet isn't such a good thing when you have crazy people hiding behind their keyboard.

I defended his ability to post on the wx side for the longest time, but sometimes enough is enough. I can only imagine some of the stuff being posted there...it's probably only a slight step up from the hate in youtube comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Pete I'll miss his weather posts in this subforum (he was a good poster in here for the most part) but it's too bad he kept getting wrapped up in board drama.

Logan11 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's a shame because Pete was never offensive the way those guys can be. There is a big difference between Pete's infractions and these race baiting fools we're talking about. Yeah a bunch of the low lifes are spewing their garbage over there.

HoarfrostHubb Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well, sadly, if he is allowing racist, bigoted stuff, then he gets that rep If you lie down with dogs, don't complain about the fleas I don't know what is being posted there, but it sounds like stuff he should not tolerate. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well in looking over the place here...probably 80% of it is not offensive and the wx side is fine. But it only takes a handful of people to ruin things for the rest.

ChrisM Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's a shame because Pete was never offensive the way those guys can be. There is a big difference between Pete's infractions and these race baiting fools we're talking about. giving those people a platform is almost as bad. It's like hosting a neo Nazi convention at your house, then saying its okay because you like Jewish people but just believe in free speech. I asked Pete to delete my account as I don't want to have my name tied to that place. The less of us that post there, the more the board drama goes away imo. It's time everyone from sne goes to a gtg and everyone just starts anew Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Who cares? I do. A lot. I'll tell you in the staff forum some of the absolute vile stuff that was thrown at me over there. It was enough to make Jerry delete his account in disgust. Matt, who has a strong stomach for anything, left as well. If somebody was stabbing your best friend, would you sit there and watch and give tacit approval? The other stuff is vile, but my children are the line. I'm angry and I'm going to salt the earth, then scorch it, and then burn every bridge in the process. I can only imagine some of the stuff being posted there...it's probably only a slight step up from the hate in youtube comments. It's worse.

powderfreak Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Who cares? It was created on the premise of continuing drama. I couldn't care less if people want to post there. The less hateful drama here, the better. It is basically the MRG version of weenietown. The wx isn't exactly exciting, but I'd rather read about dewpoints than this all day. This FTW. I'm happy that stuff finally ended... pages and pages of MRG vs. AMWX. Now they have a spot to continue going at it. giving those people a platform is almost as bad. It's like hosting a neo Nazi convention at your house, then saying its okay because you like Jewish people but just believe in free speech. I asked Pete to delete my account as I don't want to have my name tied to that place. The less of us that post there, the more the board drama goes away imo. It's time everyone from sne goes to a gtg and everyone just starts anew Haha. Probably a smart idea. Pete's board is good though... it actually makes this board a much better place. Since Pete disappeared we really haven't had anyone from the mid-Atlantic posting in the New England forum, I wonder if its a coincidence haha.

powderfreak Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Well I just got down to North Woodstock, CT at the family lake house... its 67F and foggy with mist at 800ft. Dew point has to be pretty close to 67F too. I'll be hanging out here with you SNE'ers till Sunday, near the Union/Woodstock line not far from Bigelow Hollow State Park.

Bostonseminole Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bob, I won't take this anywhere after this question, so I apologize in advance.Are any of you members at his board and do you participate there? Yes or No. THanks. *This has nothing to do with bannings or staff caring if you post there or not. That's your choice. You are still welcome to post here and there is no conflict wrt being part of both boards. I'm just personally asking. Ok, nevermind wrt the above question for you. This is all I needed to know. . Yes, but my activity has decreased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take this to PMs. I find it a little bit unnecessary for you to be trying to find out who posts at Pete's board, and then tacitly excoriate them with comments like that. You're clearly criticizing American members who choose to post someplace else, which is unfair because it isn't your business what other websites they frequent, and your problems with Pete may not be theirs. The management of this board does occasionally border on censorship, and you are rarely open in communicating to members why a certain person was banned. If you want to manage the board in secrecy, why shouldn't others be allowed to keep secret where they post and what their actions are online? Double standard, and setting a poor example.

MaineJayhawk Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Socks speaks the truth. Why is it necessary to know who posts there? To keep a blacklist? Whatev ... board drama isn't for me, I'm an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
