I've LOVED the official links to full episodes on YouTube, which the networks have been uploading, and OS has been sharing here.

See TJ's last two posts in the locked Hurricane Ida thread right under this one, that gives more explanation to why Old School was suspended.

Oh. Thank you, Icecream.

You actually read "in" far enough to his posts to discern what his position even is?

Most of the threads he creates are so overstuffed with....."stuff".... that I've stopped even trying to sort them out.

If a person can't make their point effectively in under 5 minutes, I seriously begin to question just how charitable I'm willing to be with my time....I don't mean that to sound mean spirited, but most of the time it's just too, too much. Often wonder if Leni Riefenstahl has come back to life.

Yeah. I read a lot, so six or eight paragraphs isn't a big deal to me.

As the song says, it takes diff'rent strokes to move the world...

Typically with effective writing, you state your premise, and then follow that up with supporting arguments, leaving it up to the reader how far they are willing to dive it. With his threads I gather that he's discontent with the status quo, but seldom makes clear what he thinks ought to be done about "whatever".

And when he bumps his own posts like 8-10 times and no one else is even bothering to respond, often times to multiple treads. it starts to seem more like a stink bomb set off in the boys washroom, to me.

It was a series of events and complaints that led to his suspension. He doesn't need to be everyone's friend, but it would be nice if he came back with a less nasty and confrontational attitude at times. We need to see a new side of Old School.

He likes to dance to the beat of his own drummer and do things his own unique way. I like things a certain way. We need to meet halfway.

I'm willing to work with him and give him a second chance if he plays by the rules. All I want is for members to have a pleasant forum experience.

This thread has run its course. I'll continue to move threads to the more appropriate forum as I see fit. You're welcome to question me about the reasons.
