Should people call or I.M. Gary Roberts to have entire threads thats not put up by them, that has a post in it they personally find offensive DELETED? And then Gary doing it, because HE FEELS it HURTS peoples feelings? As much as I find Gary an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT part of ARMWRESTLING, there is NO way HE should be put in this position to make these decisions......KURT should NOT have put Gary in this position!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There have been extremely harsh and offensive posts on this board. There have been personally threats, yet no deleting of threads by the board moderators.....THAT I KNOW OF.
This is TWICE Gary has done this so as NOT to OFFEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There have been posts in threads that have offended me!!!!!!! If I ask Gary to delete them will he? By doing this, it makes Gary "compelled" to do it for EVERYONE on this board. If not, then thats favortism........Then what will become of this BOARD?

Amen Christian!!!!!!
There seems to be a lot of favoritism going around on here and I think it should be stopped. In no way was I even being offensive in any way towards anyone in my post, but yet it was deleted. Here we go again, censoring a public message board. Freedom of speech is only for those who feel they need to control everything.
I feel that it was wrongfully deleted. All I had asked was that the thread be moved to the off topic forum and what happens? They get it deleted because they feel they have to control what goes on and what is said.
I do feel that Gary has a place in our sport and on this board and him being bullied into doing something that is wrong should not be tolerated.
Something has to be done to fix this ongoing problem of censorship on this board and I will make it a point to say what I want to whomever I want to. So be prepared board, I am really going to let loose now.

my top-roll is very offensive, just plain bad:) Honestly, the problem is two fold. First, Kurt and Gary both do this on their own time, so we shouldn't ask them to delete things, they are both busy. Second, being offended is going to happen. Plain and simple, some people will not like each other, or something said, etc. Either fire something back if you are mad, or go away. leave these guys alone, and leave the board alone. I hate the fact two good guys waste time trying to keep some babies happy. Man up for crying out loud. And leave those guys out of it. Any hate mail can be sent to me and not clog up the board. I wont cry or lose sleep.

trouble maker Mr. Binnie,
I have deleted two threads in a year. One, that I asked you to start, and the second, I thought Denise started, (she called me very emotional and said the thread and what it turned into could cause uneeded emotional stress for Leonard and family) So, I complied.
I don't feel that my actions for the second thread could be conceived in any way as censorship.
You could argue the first one was but I had my reasons and stand behind it...
but overall in more than a year, I hardly think my actions call for picketing
instead of getting mad at the result...how about trying to discuss the solution that could prevent the issue all together
It seems to me, that up till now the board has stayed on topic MOSTLY and there has never really been an issue.
I, myself, had been guilty of an off topic post ocassionally.
What is evident here, to me, is that a few people are using the "off topic" issue as ammunition in their own personal vendetta against eachother

I have no vendetta's against anyone that is a member of this board.
Nice attempt at cleanup control Gary, but it isn't the first time people tried to control things on this board.

And for the record, I did not say anything offensive, derogatory, harmful, or hurtful. All I asked was that the topic be moved to the other forum seeing as the man was home, doing better, and actually up and about and posting on another message board. I did not, for one second, intend to offend, hurt, or harm anyone that was involved with the thread.
I felt that the topic was done and that it could be moved over to the off topic forum because it was a subject that did not pertain to the main page guidelines but those of the off topic forum.
Say what you want about Leonard and myself and our problem with each other, but where does it end? When will people stop trying to control that which they have no control over?
I guess only time will tell. We will have to wait and see how much more Gary Roberts can be persuaded to do things he really shouldn't be put in a position to do.

We will have to wait and see how much more Gary Roberts can be persuaded to do things he really shouldn't be put in a position to do. I may be ignorant about this, but isn't it partly Gary's "field" by regulating this board? After all, his logo is on here along with advertisements. Let Gary decide what position he will be put in.

Oh Allen, your allegiance to those that will serve you best in your current living situation is so painfully obvious.
Keep befriending those who will turn on you in a second and you will see what a fool you are.
Where do I come up with this stuff?
