I say no sanctions...Enter the politics section at your own risk.

Ken - is a threat of violence an avatar of a kitten with a gun under it's chin with the word "die"? It's in all the 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.

That is definitely inappropriate, but I don't think should warrant a ban as long as it is removed upon the first request.

I think after you've been told to take it down a notch, putting something like that in your avatar warrants at least a suspension.

Even more narrow minded nonsense...

Is this going to be a tit-for-tat war? Do you really think this is fair to the ALL of the members of this board?

Are you still posting here because you want to prove a point? Do you not want to go somewhere else??? I mean - after all - that's what you're asking others to do. Seems you're having a "hissy fit"... You gonna pack it up and move on???

So - what's it gonna be? You and Barry gonna keep going so you can burn this place to the ground so you can prove a point? I have far more respect for the other members of this board to do that to them. But you go, girl...

**cigarsarge** · 10-23-2006, 07:04 PM

I did not notice the avatar till today...Over the top...You bet. Is it a direct threat...No more than Bills I hope you get your ass beat post. No one called for a ban on that so the avatar is a mute point.

I suggest all parties involved clean up their act and become civil.

Agreed. Barry seems to take political things over the top all the time, and his avatar is insulting. I wish he would tone things down and be able to state his political views in a respectful manner. I'm not saying you can't fly off the handle once in a while, we all lose control sometimes, but to do so constantly is over the top.

bigpoppapuff · 10-24-2006, 12:18 PM

his avatar was changed...it seems as if he's a good little democrat....

Um... In case you haven't noticed, Barry has toned it down quite a bit, as have you (which I appreciate.) How long do you want to keep this thing going?

Yes, I have, but the jury is still out on Barry. Comments like his don't create discussion, they create animosity, which leads to hatred. Take a look at the nature of this board since he came on, and tell me if it is a better place where we love to talk about cigars, or has it caused a major hate-fest to start with lots of hatred going back and forth, causing several members who have been on for over a year (Bill, Ken George and myself) to state that his posts are making this board less enjoyable, not more?

In a CS poll, the projected winner is... SMOKINDVM! With most of the votes in from all precincts, SDVM is in the lead with an astounding 84.2%

I gotta go to work now boys. Play nice!

If you review Barry's posts in his exchanges with me over the past few days you will find that your statement is not true.

bigpoppapuff · 10-24-2006, 08:38 PM
