Logan11 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 You sensed a certain climate of fear here when each person came forth and did their contrition admitting if they had posted on Pete's BB. The general gist was ...oh I did it a few times, but I saw how bad it was and I won't do it again...I'm forgiven aren't I? LOL Hey I can't defend the more unpleasant characters that have surfaced there, but as you said, it is a private matter what other boards a person contributes to. 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.

CapturedNature 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. Nice...welcome to my neck of the woods too (I'm just over the line in Stafford). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 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. Chris i think that is a great move on ur part...and def shows how u have matured in the last year. People think this its just pete being pete or its all vim toot, but when it comes down to it everyone involved could face legal action. The stuff was pretty bad, yes i go +1 to post, but this was way out of line. I echo ur stands on not wanting to be apart of it....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why you are giving his post any credibility when I specifically said nobody here would be banned etc. he clearly doesn't understand what I wrote and had no knowledge of the situation. He wanted to use that time to write a diatribe. Are you banned now? You post at another board. Many people here do. Are they banned or blacklisted by management?

Baroclinic Zone Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Pete personally went after Randy's family and you still consider him a friend. Sorry, but I draw the line there and support Randy 100% in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 because you didn't call out the people who were making the vile accusations against Randy or criticize marge's "so what" attitude about it. Randy is speaking as an individual, not an admin. he wants to know why you guys are supporting the garbage at marge's board. it's kind of telling that this has been explained several times and some people still don't get it. Pete was wrong and deserved what he got but I don't think many in here care about your $0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Can I ask why you wanted to know? It kind of came across in a weird way. I hope I'm not viewed differently because I posted 2 weeks ago what the euro had for the winter outlook....before all the mud slinging happened. It did come across weird, and I apologize for it. THis board and its management had nothing to do with what I posted. Zero. People here post at multiple boards. Hell, for all we know somebody could be posting at blackpanthers.com or KKK.org. That's their choice and even if we knew that, we wouldn't ban them, as long as they kept it off our board. Let me make it clear again, you can post wherever you chose. My question was for me and personal and is in no way connected to American Wx. I'm sorry to staff that I even brought the connotation of some secret gestapo on them. Scott, you know I have no problem with you. I can't nor do I intend to try to control where people post. But you have to understand my situation here. Pete and I had our differences like normal people did....we traded relatively innocuous blows and that was that. I constantly defended his right to stay here, even when most of the staff wanted to toss him. He constantly spreads this lie and misconception that I was behind his banning or that I wanted him immediately gone. This is not true and I can prove it. Then it got ugly, probably around the time he called me coward. But even pales in comparison to what's going on over there now. You know it, I know it, and people who have seen the stuff there know it. Call us facist over here, or Nazi like and secretive, but I'd rather be that than permit people to openly call other's n*ggers, faggots and other racial names, joke about them having HIV and other jokes relating to it, insinuate pedophilia and lastly but most importantly, bringing my kids into the whole thing. I can accept some people over there are just...well, vile and I know it doesn't extend to you or every person who posts there. I get that. But I've been friends with some of these people long before Pete even came onto the scene. And some of them said nothing while this was going on. Thankfully, a few did. If I didn't consider these folks friends (offline), then it would just be the run of the mill stupid board drama. Some of you got caught in the crossfire, some didn't even know this vileness was going on. Some still don't. It is what it is. Going by the nature of the stuff that goes on over there, I hope you and others can understand why I feel the way I do. So to summarize, there is no blacklist of any member who posts there or anywhere they want for that matter. Nobody's getting banned (or else they would have already been banned based on answers from yesterday). This is a personal matter and I probably shouldn't have used this thread for it.

It was wrong of me to say that. A problem that I have in my professional life is I have no filter on what I say. I guess it's good to know that I am not the only one.
