    Yes you were. Thirty, I normally would agree with not just banning someone to keep someone else happy, but I believe this was a permanent banning for cause, in which case I think it should be enforced. It also serves to keep a long time favorite poster around.

    Thanks, Howard. I'll go seek clarification. I remember the banned part, just not the what for part.

      • I remember it well. I've seen some low blows and lines crossed around here but that one took the cake.

Look, I haven't followed the whole Tarlam/Sheep history, but I've seen the problems it causes. I can only assume that Tarlam felt that mad or joe or whoever had already decided once before that Sheep was the problem and that bringing him back violated a sense of trust between him and madtown. I'm not thrilled about partial coming back after how destructive he's proven to be to the forum and how disrespectful of other posters he's been in the past, so I wouldn't care if madtown banned him again tomorrow just because he feels like it because he's already used up his chances, and then some. I'm not going to demand he be banned or that anyone make a decision between him and me, but I also don't hate him to the point that I threaten to kill him.

          Releasing the village of the banned upon our citizens seems to be causing some problems. Which is probably why they were banned in the first place. Sheep isn't just some innocent poster who Tarlam singled out. He's someone who acted douchey enough in the past to be banned, which is quite the feat here. As such, between someone who's been banned already and someone who I feel constitutes part of the soul of this place, I vote for keeping Tarlam if he'll come back.
          I never saw the thread or why he was banned/not banned in the first place. If Partial is back despite his past transgressions and Ty has been invited back then Sheep should get another chance. If he fucks up, then give him the axe. Same with Partial and same with Ty. Fuck even Scott was given the axe for a few days. If you ignore the problem children they end up going away on their own. If you feed their fire then they come back because they get the attention they always wanted from their mommy/daddy.

            • I'm with Zool for the most part....I don't like banning unless things like hacking, posting personal info...etc takes place. Sticks and stones.....but I don't run this place. I don't blame Tarlam for wanting to kill him though.

                Nooooo I wasn't. There was just too much tarlem email abuse privately, that I stopped coming. I reached out to the guy only to have vile nightly emails sent to me. Internet searches for clues on who I was. Crap like that. I had to cancel that email address. Football was over, then the strike-- so I just peaked in once in a while. Anything you remember was all done in defense. Maybe an overreach, but never was it a conversation that I initiated.

                  Now I recall a little better. I found the aftermath looking for the wreckage and it was enough to trigger my memory (thank you, Howard). I believe I heard of it and saw the wind up, but the transgression had been removed before I saw it. So what do you think?

                  • Maybe the jury should just be made up of people who were reading that thread that afternoon. All of the other bickering and back and forth that went on between the two of them over the years became background noise for me. You could tell it was more real than the other bickering around here, but background noise nonetheless.

                    As much as Tarlem! seems like a good guy and those of you who have met him certainly agree that he is a really good guy……I was surprised that they both weren’t banned.

                    Sheep clearly went WAY over the line, and he DID bring family into the post that went over the line…….Tarlem!, in my opinion, should have been very pissed, but at some point it’s got to be shut down simply for liability reasons. I think the point occurred that day.

                      I took another look and I guess it was that Chevelle guy who was banned. Got my assholes confused. Not used to having more than one around I guess. I guess everyone just wished sheep was banned. I hate that tarlam chose this path, but I can't even begin to guess at the rage he feels. So maybe this is the high road for him. I guess I would still pick the guy who I like over the guy who causes enough trouble that everything thinks he was banned.

                      We wouldn't have this problem if madtown would just accept my years old proposal that we should be forced to ban someone every 3 months. Stone them in the square.

                        Sure thing, Shirley.

                          No, the thread in question probably made it to INTERPOL.

                            No that's the one where these fuckheads banned cornholio for no goddamn reason. Oh, I forgot, the reason was he knew me and nutz.

                            • Anyway, now that you people have fucked up another thread...

                              weight: 213
                              exercise: recuperation day
                              breakfast: fizzypop/weight loss shake
                              lunch: 1 square of 4 meat pizza, water
                              diner: tenderloin, feta cheese, cranberry salad on a bed of baby greens seasoned with vinegar and salt, potato chips, 5 chocolates, and 3 gimlets

                              My obliquus externus quivered a bit today like baby dolphin farts.

                              • Since Mad deleted my post, which i knew the pussy would, because it contained direct critism toward him, I dropped by. Howard, you don't know much about liability if you think this site could be held liable for anything I wrote.

                                I will again post my email address: norbert2410@googlemail.com. Bye, it's been (mostly) a rage!
