The controversy and discourse that he adds to this forum far outweighs any positive contributions that he might make. Sure he has a lot of posts, about 5 a day but very few add anything unique to this board. It seems that if there is a controversy Bill is smack in the middle of it. Hex's repeated requests for Bill to cut the stalking, harassing and prodding have been arrogently ignored, as indicated in Hex's opening post. 6 months ago I would not be in favor of banning anyone, but at this point I feel that I can't discuss anything even mildly controversial. I have tried to be a good member of this community, help when I could, and have gifted and exchanged about 300 cigars in the past year. I still have no clue as to what started him off on me, but at this point it really doesn't matter. I have decided that if Bill is still here in June when my contest, birthday club exchange and the southern herf I am trying to help ChefChris organize are over with. I will leave.

I truly do enjoy being a member of this board and will respect whatever you all decide with no hard feelings.

Wow, you love stirring the pot and baiting don't ya? You are as guilty as anyone else, but you just sit up on that high horse of yours. I would be willing to bet it bites on the butt in the end.

And for the record, I was on Sid's side until his post to Chris, even though I all but begged him countless times to quit egging it on. Something he, as well as yourself, can't seem to stop doing. Now, he, and every gutless little turd you claim is running their cowardly little mouths in private, can hit the bricks for all I care. And take yourself with them.

Sorry you feel that way Shaggy, but this didn't come to a head because Bill and I were fighting back and forth for months. It came to a head because Hex asked us to stop months ago and I sat there getting egged on by Bill for months without saying a word. I'm not sitting on any high horse, I've simply had enough of his baiting and prodding. If the members of this board dont see that as a problem, then they can vote however they want to. I'm just stating my case.

And, ya know, this ain't about Sid. I have refused to speak for him at every turn even though Bill wants to make it about Sid. My decision to leave is based on how Bill has treated me and how uncomfortable I feel with him stalking me.

I just had a Hunter S. Thompson moment with that line.

No ban.

Hell, if I didn't vote for Barry to be banned, I sure as hell won't vote to ban Bill. We need all of the republicans we can get around here.

Seriously, I hope this shit gets worked out without loosing any valued members.

I vote no...Both BOTL's have helped me out in the past and Bill and I have gone at it in a minor exchange or two. He has always treated me with respect and takes it as well as he dishes it.
