Mac I am going to vote for you to stay. You do seem passionate about pulling. I want to encourage you to change your focus from speaking on here with nothing constructive to say to letting your results do the talking  You are blessed to have great pullers to train with, so don't just talk to incite, direct all of your energy to becoming the kind of puller your passion shows you want to be, and come on here with constructive things to say   The truth is if I were going to vote for you to go I would as well vote for more than one of the others as well who have called for your immediate dismissal  |

You know I can kind of relate to what Shane Vazquez said earlier about wanting to turn back the clock a bit. Most that know me know that I am at a point in my life where I could do without all of the extraneous BS that goes on here. People have to walk on egg shells these days . However, unlike guys like Sam Scott, at least Mac Telle is not hiding behind some pseudonym. I think that Mac should be allowed to stay because as was mentioned earlier by Robert Drenk, he does have a passion for this sport that many of us can relate to and that shouldn't be completely extinguished by what is said on here. I guess I am in the minority, but I think Mac should be allowed to stay. He is a complicated man, as mentioned, like Tin Cup (full of inner demons). If Mac was to agree to stop insulting people and just stuck to talking about pulling I think he would have a lot to contribute to this board and eventually this sport. Just my .40 of a nickel, James |

Yeah Mac is a fat head but so are most of us, just in different ways, does he act like that in person, "NO"...... Mac decides to stir the pot and create drama, and now the board created a poll to vote...sounds like a popularity contest. Ask yourself, who is a victim of the crime, Mac for being a non-constructive, or you for reading his post  ...If you don't like what he post don't read them, just like I do with another fat head that post stuff on this board...every time he post something he get hundred of hits..if you don't open or read his post, the direct hits shall reflect.. It would be interesting if the board did a few different polls from the east-west and north-south... |

This stay or go post reminds me of the movie Footloose, and Mac is Kevin Bacon. I voted for you to stay Mac, I think you bring some level of excitement to this board, BUT some of the things you post should be moved to the off topic forum.

Mac has not done any harm except ruffle some feathers. I say he should stay.

I find it pretty entertaining....it seems to me that stop sign is just a ballbuster and people just dont understand his sense of humor. Its easy to misjudge someones point or intent...when they are just typing. It has happened to me through text messaging..I.meant absolutely no harm but...it wasnt taken lightheartedly. Everybodys different... In the big scheme of things I could care less about any of this...but I can also relate. I voted stay

Mac has not done any harm except ruffle some feathers. I say he should stay. x3, effective communication is 60% body language, 20% voice flux, and 20% words. Many cannot interpret his words for plain ball busting. If you guys have issues with what he post, click the X in the upper right corner of the screen and move on with your day..... Otherwise, he does keep things fresh and interesting.. |

We've all been taken the wrong way before. Oftentimes, it has to do with good intentions but poor delivery.
I like Mac's sense of humor. To me it's pure Jonathan Winters meets Roy D. Mercer.

I think that it would be totally wrong to ban Mac from the NE Board.
I'm very appreciative of how he might get on a lot of peoples Tits BUT thats how outspoken individuals play the game.
Let the Lad stay on here as far as I am concerned.
Cheers
Neil

I must say i usually dont even open his threads, cuz they dont appeal to me anymore. At first they did, now they dont so i skip them.
My vote is keep him, he's got character, i know how to avoid it when im not in the mood for soap opera.

You are blessed to have great pullers to train with, so don't just talk to incite, direct all of your energy to becoming the kind of puller your passion shows you want to be, and come on here with constructive things to say
