An Appeal to the Forum Owner

[dogboysdad]

Tim:

I would like to formally appeal the ten (10) day banning of RuggedTerrain40. I have reviewed the forum rules:

I do not believe that RT40 posted anything "obscene, vulgar, sexually oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws." In fact, his posts seem to be placed in the appropriate forum sections and seem to comply with what one can only term as "Battle Tested community standards."

Please reconsider this arbitrary and capricious banning of RT40. RT40 has breathed new life into this forum and brings to the table years of technical and tactical know-how. Please do not waste this valuable addition to our BT community.

RULE #1 Tim is the boss.
RULE #2 see above.

I agree with The Lawyer. RuggedTerrain is representative of a slice of the American Culture.

I think what we are trying to say here is, "we got your back".

I have no doubts!

I believe her post also summed up the situ very well...

I'd have problems too. I recommend a visit to his prestigious home, If it isn't one person, it's another.

I beg to differ, all of his hateful stuff went on out of the War Room. I had issues with most here at one time as they with me from the old CMP days. Some refused to deal with me here and I didn't get out of control. Tim and I spoke a bit and naturally cautiously at first but I feel I have not harmed anyone here even with some antics for Mr. Wilson who I personally feel took it way to far. I mean come on everyone can make a remark on his disability but I show a picture and am doomed to hell. I let it go and life goes on. RT was way out of hand and didn't come here to hit things head on and straighten it out. His intentions were to disrupt and attack. RIck B

We have a 7 day ban. This will be the "last chance" when the ban is over.

Heres my 2 cents.
No profanity or vulgar comments allowed anywhere on the forum unless it is in the War Room
I would not have been near as lenient as Tim
