snrdg101206, Alayne Leung, Chip, whoever: You request respect, are unhappy when people call you "Chip", wonder about your posts (deleted and otherwise), and message junk like "30 reasons why BT could perhaps be discontinued". #1 on that list:
Toll roads employees can inspect vehicles (some toll roads owners dislike BT because BT promotes violence. Man, I must have missed the research that determined that. Surprisingly, I was just last week on toll roads in Florida, and wasn't stopped once. I can only imagine that my face must be on a poster in every toll booth in the country. Guess I was really lucky. Or maybe just looking older than that picture.
Do you really expect people to take you seriously with posts like this? Requesting that I and moderators read and reply immediately concerning each of the "reasons"? And if we don't do that, and restore equally nonsensical posts, that "when persons, that are just learning BT, come to
http://www.HeavyMetalPro.com/forums and see that topic locked, they'll believe that BT officials don't care about expanding BT business and will thus conclude that BT is going out of business to be discontinued soon, and that Rick Raisley and moderators like yourself are each a spy for government)"? As well as a recommendation for "unlocking that topic immediately and unconditionally and permanently and sticking it." Making this drivel a permanent and stickied topic? Really?
Okay, this may be borderline breaking my own Forum rules. I don't like being nasty. I've let you and all your aliases post here for a l-o-n-g time, while other forums have you permanently banned. I've seen where other forum members respond, on occasion, to the "more normal" posts, so have let things be. I figured that I, and many others, can just ignore posts by you, if they don't like them.
But I draw the line with the constant harassment of me and forum moderators. If we see an extremely stupid post, like "30 reasons", it's going to be deleted, or usually, transferred to the Admin area, where mods can see what's being written and why it's being moved,
whoever writes it. That should be a hint to cease and desist such posts. I'm "this" far away from deleting and banning you and all your friends. If you don't want that to happen, then please abandon such posts, and post "normal" topics of general interest. If you can't tell the difference, responses to your posts should help you out. If you don't abide by this, then goodbye.
