Yes, I deleted GIB's posts because they were full of profanity and so were most of the responses that followed.

We are hitting an all time low point at PBH. I ask you guys to please refrain from using foul language and profanity. I have a demanding job so I can't be here 24-7's, right now I'm actually at a meeting and I am typing when I am not talking.

This website is for you guys. This is for you to share information and resources. Please appreciate it and help care for this site that we all enjoy, please don't be destructive.

Anybody else that publicly attacks another member by using foul language and a disrespectful demeanor will be banned for the day. NO EXCEPTIONS. Is it too much to ask that we carry our arguments in civil manner? I think not.

Vic. Pero cómo no van a suprimir esos articulos si estos no tienen nada que ver con el objetivo de la página?. De qué se trata esta página entonces?. Imaginate donde cada miembro escriba un Post cuyo único objetivo sea atacar a alguién. Que aburridor y sin sentido se volvería este lugar.

Vic, yo le aseguro que él tiene los problemas que tiene porque él los atrae con su actitud. El es incapaz de vivir lejos del conflicto. No puede la gente seguir su juego en esta página.

Gracias a COLOMBICHE y a todos los moderadores por su trabajo y su esfuerzo no siempre apreciado. No quisiera estar en sus pantalones de tener que lidiar con todo esto.

I knew they would get deleted, but I was hoping they would let them stay.

G.I.B. basically told PBH to fuck off... while I don't really blame the mods to pull the threads, what would have been the harm in leaving them ? We're all adults here (presumably)... being told exactly where to go shouldn't ruin our day. Hell, in NYC, "fuck you buddy" would barely be noticed.

On the other hand, the mods have the job of ensuring that the conversation doesn't go completely in the toilet... tough call either way.

Would it help publishing rules somewhere? So members-to-be are informed of what to expect.

"foul language and a disrespectful demeanor"... what in tarnation is that supposed to mean ?

Some comments deserve disrespect.

As for foul language... gimme a break, I generally refrain from profanity here, but are we really so cotton-pickin' immature that we can't handle an occasional profanity. And is anyone really fooled when someone uses euphemisms or abbreviations like friggin', gol darned, at %&, m-f'ing, S.O.B. piece of dog-doo ?

I think you all know what I'm trying to say ;)

Since Lionheart left and Tinto not as active as two years ago and more, things are way out of touch by the mods, sort of like the politicians that volunteer to run without pay

What was GIB talking about? I missed it.

"I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. A nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present."

GIB leaving was probably the best option.

It's not the first time he's done this.

I think he uses this forum to blow off steam from sitting in front of a computer screen day trading. You could kind of sense by his mood when he was having a lucrative day and when he was getting financially smashed.

In the end his demands were impossible. Like J_S, he frequently disrespected others but did not react well when people disrespected or disagreed with him.

So J_S and GIB ride off into the sunset. And PBH will continue just fine.

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

He goes along, then his meds apparently run out. I, at one time, has some great battles with him, but lately I found myself agreeing with about 70% of what he was writing. Then he decided to revert .

This is the second time GIB had a meltdown. The first one was because of Miguel_Clavo and even if I was able to persuade him to stop harassing him, it took some time. Now it's RAAAY who's been following him like a shark from thread to thread. I was pretty sure that was a finished chapter in this drama. Why does all this happen? Who else is being stalked, harassed, persecuted by anothe member?

Let me know please, because I'm running out of patiente.

I also have a job and a life. I've been trying to be Mrs. Nice Guy, give people a second opportunity, tried to be diplomatic and handle the moderating power with responsibility and honesty. It ain't working. WHY?

No, vic, I don't have favorites. Yet, I react better if I'm asked nicely instead of told to f... off. Everybody does. If I made a a mistake it was thinking that you guys had a sense of humour and that certain things were said in jest. Because I could never imagine that GROWN-UP MEN would believe like six-year-olds who haven't gotten what they wanted.

Hmmm... problems with moderation...

Approximately 80% of the users are men.
Basically 100% of the moderators are women.

I did'nt attack or stalk anybody. Why was I put on that 404 error list? Why not just delete my account completely? I'm a little mad about it. I guess its time for revenge. I going to launch an attack soon with special spam software. The software can sign up for accounts while i'm asleep and keep my IP address blocked. There will be hundreds offensive posts with dirty pics every hour. The mods have 3 days to reinstate my account.

GIB was the only one being harrassed every time he posted, as far as I know.

Well, maybe cassini too, but he's french, so...

But there are some obvious trolls that have been around a while. I know you guys don't have time to read everything, so maybe we need to pm you when it's really obvious.
