You guys know how it works. Several people have PM'ed me asking for this.
Nope...He has been an "difficult" in the politics section...But IMHO that area is pretty much wide open to say what you think...Just don't bring racist stuff or threats of violence in there.
I say no sanctions...Enter the politics section at your own risk.
I do not agree with most of the political views of DVM, nor do I like his style of pushing. He is compassionate about his views for sure. This is definately not a reason to ban the guy. Barry is like most other BOTLs in all other forums. If he was not active in cigars and just here to serve a political agenda, then I would be for a ban. He has shown other sides to himself, so I vote- no ban...
I don't care for what he says or how he says it.
I think he's pretty rude and condescending.
I think he doesn't show any respect to Republicans who are reasonable, well-spoken individuals (and, no, I'm not saying all Rebublicans are.)
I think he makes Dem's like myself look bad.
But-
It's a free country, he keeps it in the politics section, and the ignore control works.
Ehh? I just read the cigar posts.
If SLC and Sarge vote no, and are in my opinion great BOTL's. I have to agree.
sucks pretty bad that someone would be put up for a ban for exercising his right....barry's involved in the newbie deal,the birthday club,and other cigar related things...he's freely offered med advice for our pets and has,on more than one occasion, called this bb his home board...i think it's pretty pussy for some to ask for his banning.
seeing that i invited him here,i'd have to think twice about sticking around.....
you may not like what he says..or the way he says it..but is bill any better??...i think not...
sorry bill....but you've hit bottom with this..
And yet another........
There is a huge difference between Barry and anyone else around here. He's been asked politely to refrain from the personal attacks and to tone it down and he has not. He is completely unreasonable and lies constantly about those who disagree with him.Quote:

Read hex's post again, you know that part where it says "several people have asked for this.":smiley29:Quote:

sorry bill...you stepped in shit...you're game is getting old....i can read,bill...
what happens if barry doesn't get banned??...will you pack up your bags and leave in a hissy-fit??
this isn't my board and it sure as hell isn't yours.....you've been just as nasty as barry has ...but barry has backed off...you haven't....
i checked all my spelling so that tired act of yours is moot..
I vote no Ban. His comments are being kept to the political forum, and he is not breaking any rules in this forum. Now I could see if this was spilling over into other cigar discussion, but it is not, and SmokingDVM is a contributing memeber. I won't go as far as to say that I agree with him, but here is a quote from the politics forum:Reading and responding is optional.Quote:
Although this forum was created for any political conversation. #7 is the reason this board was set up. If you don't want to be a part of these discussions, don't read these threads.

SmokinDVM's Avatar (in case he pulls it down and says, "what???......":

I think that's quite a bit over the top...

Hmmm...never noticed that before. You must have better eyesight than me.:smiley23:Quote:

....and when some disappear,i guess i'll know,huh??..
lots of other boards....if they go,they go...so be it...so let me guess...it was you and bill,and who else who asked for the ban...??
still waiting for some of the combatants to get involved in some cigar stuff....as barry has...

No, Sid - I'm still going to post and be active - as well as Bill, I'm sure. But you in your narrow minded nonsense have driven off some pretty decent people. Keep it up....
and by the way george...i'm surprised that the spelling god never had you change your sig....
