Let me tell you all. Who I am.

[callmej75]

Yeh I read stuff and I know exactly how Jim talks. I check out countless posts instead of posting something out of my ass. If you guys only knew how he REALLY is...think "different people" and you will see the world differently.

Of course I'm not happy about this...this is my opinion...right?

Goooooo-ooooooooooooooooooooze fraaaaaaaaaabbbba.
Better now..

I do hope he decides to come back after the 7 days.

Jim is a funny guy, but he tends to type before he thinks. He went after bob, and took a jab at me. We all know he comes off a bit rough in his posts, however, there's a point at which it needs to mellow out/stop.

I'd like to see him come back as well, but he needs to realize that arguing, name calling, or flat out "calling out" the staff isn't going to help his situation.

hopefully he'll take the 7 days as a break and come back thinking before he types

Agreed. You guys know me, it takes a lot for me to agree to a cooling off period, but he crossed the line too many times. Hopefully he doesn't take it personally, treats it like constructive criticism and learns from it.

Steve and David are both right on the money here. There comes a point when you have asked people to play nice to any times. There are rules, and if you ignore them, there are consequences. I am sad to see any member go, but I am not willing to sacrifice the name and image of UltimateYota.com to keep one. Ultimate Yota was founded to be a great place for those who share a love of wheelin toyota's to come and 'exist', we can't lose that, or we're no better than any other board out there that has lost its way.

TJ - you will be missed, and I hope you decide to come back and be a participative contributing member of this group, thinking before you type, and enjoying the love we all share.

He was confused by our behavior.

While this is true to some degree, repeated warnings went unheeded. That whole thinking before typing is tough sometimes - I fall into that myself occasionally.

I hope he comes back - he's our "color" commentator.

[callmej75]

I think we need a subforum under off topic that we can tell our life story so that way we don't assume around here of how everyone grows up and how they get to where they are today. Maybe we can get a better understanding of people and make this board a litle closer maybe. We all just share 1 thing and thats an object...not so much some of us anymore but lets see if we had any life stories that we all can relate to.

[habanero]

Well, it's up to Jim. Rules is rules no matter how you grew up and he gets the warnings so is doubtfully surprised. Hopefully he doesn't perceive this little time out as someone out to get him because it sure doesn't seem that way here on the outside. We've all fallen victim to our perceptions, though. Getting our heads wrapped up in something to the point of not being able to see around it. Giving our boogeymen power they don't deserve.
Staying away after this mild -and earned- slap on the wrist is only letting his boogies win and where's the point in that?







Boogeymen, what a word. Makes me think about little gooey green men marching out of your nose at night, creating havoc wherever they can reach.
