You make zero sense. Should I ban someone from the entire forum if they echo "Limbaugh" or "Bunker?"
Should I ban someone if they echo "Maddow" or "Maher?"
What rules should I follow?
And how in the world does off-topic kill everything else when you are under absolutely no requirement to ever venture into off-topic or even view it? You can even view "today's posts" and EXCLUDE all of OFF TOPIC if you wish (check out the QUICK LINKS in the menu bar).
All you who rant and rave about off-topic are so out of line, it's not even funny anymore.

You just colored your own spots with that comment.

The small print would read: OK to use by anyone who isn't white and recommended for use in all rap songs.

I'm not trying to get people banned from here, mind you. I think that everyone should be able to post whatever they want, at anytime. But I wonder why you ban some posters, but not others...whose conduct here is even worse.

I don't argue back and forth over the Internet any longer as I did in earnest ten years ago. You can read, so do so. Done.

We are not living in the '40's or '50's or even 2050. 6% of the U.S. population are black males. 69% of the players in the NFL are black. If equality is their gripe, then be careful what you wish for.
70 percent of black children dont have fathers in their lives. Personal responsibility is their issue, not mine.
See ya.

You absolutely KEEP misrepresenting what happened in the Capper Al deal...I wish you would stop doing that.
Not once has anyone since Al kept posting the SAME WORDS in HUGE BOLD LETTERS, in MULTIPLE THREADS, day after day...not once...

WOW...is THAT what Capper Al did? I don't blame you for getting rid of him then. His behavior was INEXCUSABLE.

You don't admire how spam-free this forum has been the last 18 years?
Thanks a lot... 
Spam is spam...
Multiple threads on the same/similar topic isn't spam...if it were, half the racing posting folks on here would be gone...
BUT, posting the same exact thing, same exact words, over and over again, all the while ALSO insulting people left and right...well...tough noogies...that will get you banned.
So, for all those who asked me to ban them recently, and I haven't, you now know what you have to do to get banned...

Yeah...but he is being refreshingly original in each one of them. And he isn't using large capital letters.

There would be nobody left on both horses and off-topic if you guys were in charge.
Leave this stuff to the professionals. You know, the professionals who were able to keep a horse racing forum alive for 18+ years when most all the others are graveyards by now...
But thanks again for your help.

I don't think either one of us called for anyone to be banned. So no need to go all Jess Hawsen Aron and over exaggerate.
