Closed Threads

[Illinois Boy]

I've been on a lot of forums in my life and I have never seen the "owner" of that forum authorize the close of a thread. I've read all the replies to several threads about the subject of when and wear the next Spyderfest might be held and didn't see anything other then people voicing their opinion. I can't speak for all of you but I have no time for anyone who tries to squelch free speech, especially mine. Who ever is doing this, shame on you.

I'm done here....

You seem to be a bit confused where your right to "free speech" can be applied.

On a blog-site for which you pay nothing to belong... you have no right to free speech.

That may be part of what is wrong in this country... people do not even know where their rights begin and end. Geez...

I think/know Lamont does a great balancing act on here. My comment would be, if you do not like this one, start your own site. this is a free country.Oldmanzues

I'm a bit late to this party pps:; but here's my penny's worth on this subject:
Who ever guaranteed anybody "Free Speech" in their own house? This is Lamont's domain... If he wishes to rule as a "Benevolent Despot", or a "Tyrannical Saint"; it's his game, his ball, his scoresheet, and his field...
I'm sorry that you feel this way, and I hope that you do come back. :thumbup:
Oh! Randy; just a little reminder...

Bob, that is too funny...

Constructive criticism and collaboration are both good things... but Lamont is free to do as he wishes...

Just my 2 pennies.....

Do you mean, "The Ban Hammer"? It got unleashed upon a dear friend who has since repented all of his sins, and has been welcomed back into our fold... :thumbup:

Or the rest of it? I actually wasn't kidding about that part... :shocked:

 

[Jharpo]

Thanks

Thanks Lamont. Please keep up the good work.

The Ban Hammer is just too funny, I love it. I know you were not kidding about the rest.

they say 'it takes all kinds', and you can count on no matter where you go, you will find them.....:doorag:

The 'Ban Hammer' is funny... possibly inappropriate here, but funny! :thumbup:

Lamont looks surprisingly good in a kilt... Maybe we could get him to wear it at the BBQ! (Hope it doesn't rain... :yikes

 

[Bob Denman]

(I hope he wears something underneath it!)

Even when the content is negative (like an issue with their Spyder, dealer, BRP, vendor, etc.), the idea is to achieve a positive result.

Never have said anything negative about Spyder, dealer or vendor...pps:

I'll see if I can get some of my Bro's to show up but they say it's too hot here. :roflblack:

 

[bruiser]

Hey Bob, I didn't know Lamont wore a kilt. :roflblack:

 

[bruiser]

Gotta love the badger hat along with the kilt.

 

[PrairieSpyder]

I have no idea what ya'll are talking about. :dontknow: But, nonetheless, I have a strong opinion. It is . . . . . .. Never mind.

:cheers:

 

[flamingobabe]

Your entitled to to leave the site, but I have to disagree with your position though. IMO, Lamont is more than fair with threads.

If I remember correctly, the last guy that Lamont had to ban was a real jerk at times and had to learn the hard way. Even then, Lamont let him back on the site a few weeks later. That should show you how fair he is. That Jerk of a member has since learned to play nice with others. Almost...... :roflblack:

But, Danica says you remind her of "Uncle Archie?"

 

[SpyderFun]

I closed the threads and if you read the last few post it was the membership that first asked to do so. Sorry you didn't agree with that move but closing a thread leaves everything there to read just so you don't think you missed something if it was deleted.

The "webmaster" has the authority to close any thread but Lamont goes a step further to show he is open minded I that he kept the viewing "viewable" of what was already posted. Sorry, but someone sometimes has to make a difficult call that will never please everyone.

Lamont I am pleased you kept the post "viewable" when you had the authority to delete it in its entirety. A sign of courage and steadfastness not to bow to public pressure. Closing a thread does not diminish the individual thoughts already posted thus making them known to all who read. BUT..... There comes a time when it no longer is productive or informative. Such was the case.

No individual has control over the weather - PERIOD. You either ride or you don't - PERIOD. ENOUGH SAID......
