Just for the freaking record -- I started the "cindy looney" thread because I cannot seem to locate the members list on the board to send her a message or pm. Now -- if you take the time to read the initial the subject matter of said post -- the intent was and is to schedule and coordinate [you guessed it] -- an armwrestling practice. Not to go shopping, not to have tea, not to freaking watch Army Wives on Sunday Night -- but to freaking armwrestle. I am frustrated and bewildered at the lowest grade of mentality that is shared by some people that have nothing better to do than to moan and complain........ Get a life -- you don't find interest in the post - move on to something better that does perk your interest. But for the love of all that is good and holy - stop stirring the pot of crap -- it is rediculious. if you are referring to my comment which i think you are. relax a little. I didnt read the cindy Post nor did i mean to disrespect you or your post. I only looked at the title of it quickly and linked it in with others that werent armwrestling on a table or tournament related . So if you freakin feel offended, sorry, that wasnt my intention. Seems too many post get misunderstood on here which is another reason I only post occasionally these days. I could care less about what post are on here that arent related directly, I was just trying to make a point and wont say no more. I guess ill get back to my life if i can find it.. Bye

I am not sure what is going on here but this has got to be the worst form of rubbernecking a fender bender if I have ever seen one.
It was a couple of scratches on the bumber...no need to back up the interstate with stand still traffic trying to catch a peek.
Put your foot on the gas people and move on.
There is nothing to see here.
A big nada
But whatever happens in the future when people call me up asking for me to do something regarding the board!! A big nada.
enjoy

Way to keep downplaying it Gary.....
But when it has to do with a friggin rule like parallel pins you get all fired up.
I guess unjust censorship, that smells like favortism means nothing....O.K.....BTW: Are you filming Reno and/or Tahoe, next year?
Will you PLEASE delete the "Who is God" thread ...I find it offensive......

Christian, what is your beef with me? If it is that big of a deal in your mind then call me. I am unsure why you are so upset and clearly you think I am trying to dodge something so call me if you wish and I will explain.
personally I didn't find anything regarding Peter's post...a bit insensitive yes but offensive not really. But Denise was clearly upset saying that Leonard could die and the family didn't need this kind of grief so could I just delete it all. I think most of you would have done the same thing in my position.
this topic has nothing to do with parallel pins. it doesn't relate, I am sorry.

UGH!!! You still don't get it. WOW I didn't know Leonards FAMILY reads an armwrestling messageboard.....AGAIN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FRIGGIN POST....GEEZ DON'T YOU GET IT YET? ?? I don't have to CALL you, this has to do with the board and the board should know. I don't hid behind phones and then get on here and tell the board that Gary and me talked it over and its settled...I don't play that........ AND my point about parallel pins IS that you take that more seriously than YOU censoring on peoples wishes, which YOU "SHOULD NOT BE DOING"....You should NOT be a Moderator of this board due to the position you are in... AGAIN:::::: 2 censorships that had to do with ARMWRESTLING ASSOCs that "POSSIBLY" can effect your "business" IS WRONG!!!!!!!!! I'm starting the W.A.A....World Armwrestling Association...CAN YOU PLEASE get rid of the thread titled "Who is God" I find it Offensive!!!!!!! ARE YOU GETTING IT NOW? ? AND People: PLEASE I AM NOT TAKING CALLS FROM OUT WEST......This in no way will "influence" ( get it Gary?) my viewpoints/ decisions on this topic....So don't waste you dime...Be a man OR woman and post you opinions/feelings.....

Yes, I did ask Gary to remove Pete Milano's posts, or the entire thread if need be. I was wrong. Pete's comments should have been left up so that you could all see what kind of a man Pete really is. There are many people that read Pete's "comments". Quoting Pete, "OK!! Enough already. If Leonard was well enough to post on the Canadian Board then it is time to move this to Off Topic." This comment and a couple others were uncaring, insensitive and ignorant. Leonard has a life-threatening bone cancer. He can use all the positive thoughts and encouragement that his FRIENDS wish to send his way. If you do not wish to wish him well, you should have the common sense to stay out of the thread. Making the decision, or tell the moderators that they need to move the thread is not Pete's job. Pete's behavior yesterday, classifying what was off topic or not, was also not his job. I get the impression that Pete does not have a family or friends that he cares about, or a life he is proud of, because he sure gives the rest of us a bad time. I am not going to get into a debate with Pete or anyone else. I know he was wrong and so do many others. Denise

ARE YOU GETTING IT NOW? ? Christian, You know whats interesting about someone NOT understanding what you are trying to say. Possibly you are NOT expaining it very well. I think I get what you are trying to say. BUT obviously Gary is not. So who is at fault for the lack of understanding. The person not understanding or the person not explaining very well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your are simply upset at possible favoratism from Gary in his decision to delete a thread.

Hi Christian, This was not the only post Pete made. Pete made it very clear that he could care less about Leonard. Almost as though he was jealous that Leonard was getting so much positive encouragement to get well. I explained that Leonard has just come through a small part of his recovery and cannot start radiation therapy for a couple weeks. This cancer is life-threatening. As I stated in my earlier post, if someone does not want to wish Leonard well, and Pete obviously doesn't, then they should have the common sense to stay out of the thread. Pete knows how negative and rude his comments were. They were bad enough that I did not want Leonard to read them, and I am glad he didn't see them. Denise P.S. Gary & Kurt should not have to protect people from their own ignorance because we are all adults. We all grew up knowing that if we "didn't have something nice to say, don't say anything." Pete NEVER posted until HE was tired of all the attention to the thread, and then it was "OK!!! Enough already... "

Gary, for the record I agree with your decision. It is the duty of every poster AND reader on here to pick up the torch and defend when defending is needed. For all of our strength we sure seem to be a bunch of p u s s i e s when it comes to standing up for what is right. To kick a man when he is down...a man who is part of our family instead of reaching out and giving him your hand is not only heartless...it is soulless. I don't give a s h i t about the bull crap we like to feed each other about oooohhhh it's censorship...Whenever someone feels as if this board is being used as a weapon against them they have the right to be defended in the form of removal. If you disagree then go get a gut check.
Gary..In the situation of Leonard and Denise you did the right thing. Period. If a post on this PUBLIC board would hurt someones moral..A person who could be facing mortality. It is not your right but your duty as a human being to eliminate it as soon as possible. If you are questioning your decision then grow some balls.

Someone had the inspiration to give you Christian as a first name and you have a problem with the "Who is God?" thread....hmmmmmmmmmmm. ;D That thread is in the off topic forum. I could talk about my cats if I want to. Are dog lovers going to be offended? Give me a break!
