Some of us had comminicated behind the scenes and Sid offered to impress upon Barry that he should "tone it down" and he didn't heed those warnings. Hex asked Barry to "tone it down" and once again, he ignored that request. Not only did he ignore those requests, he brought it up a notch with his "die" kitten avatar. Several members asked Hex to start a ban poll which you'd think might make him realize that he should straighten up but no, if anything he got even worse.

So here we are, a major dust up and his behavior has barely changed. I dunno Nate, do you have any suggestions because in my opinion, Barry's behavior and attitude is still a major area of concern on this board.

Again, if you've got some ideas, I'm all ears.
The problem here is that no one else but you and george are coming forward which makes it look like only 2 people requested the ban poll now as I am not Hex I cannot say whether or not this is accurate. It is hard to send a message with a ban poll that is lost with only 3 guys wanting some type of action taken. I personally think Barry's actions in the politics forum suck as well but I don't really care because I don't talk politics, someone always seems to get pissed. We as a people tend to hold onto our political and religious beliefs so tighly that we'll fight tooth and nail to prove our points.

The only concern I have is with the fighting spilling over to threads I care about and in this sense you and Sid have a history of following people around and making sarcastic comments after you've been in an argument and now George is following Sid doing the same damn thing. It's just childish and needs to stop. Have you ever heard the saying that a real man is the one who walks away from a fight, I try to follow that line of thought. So Barry is a rude asshole guess what most people can see that for themselves and then act accordingly. Like I said before I'd rather ignore one asshole over four.

For the record the avatar Barry put up was very over the line and based on that I may have voted ban but I saw it after the poll was closed.

Barry that shit doesn't fly it could be taken as a threat and we have had members banned without polls for just that kind of behaviour, anyone remember Amanda?
