I vote that he should be kicked off. He does nothing but offend people and never has anything intelligent to say.

I think people are taking his posts personally and if he follows the same rules that everyone must follow then this pole should not even be taking place, I have not seen Mac do or say anything that should have him removed. We live in America where you have the feedom of speach, some may not like what he has to say so simply dont read it!
If you are voting to kick him off you are doing so on a personal basis and thats wrong! If Mac leaves this board I will follow because I dont want to be a part of a board that plays those games.

guys please dont do that, I probably should have emailed Bill Cox instead of writing my feelings, I just feel passionate about the freedom we have here and this community of athletes. With that said I have personally read comments that should never have existed on a public board.

I normally keep my nose out of this kind of thing but I think it is Redonkulous that this poll is up about Mac... I agree with Robert, Neil, John P., Engin and my brother David on this one... MAC stays.!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH Mac Telle Mac Telle...you have gotten your self into one here. I for one will have to step forward and ohhhhh how hard it is (just kiddin Mac) give a vote to keep the dude around.  Attention Bill Cox: If you are judging Mac based solely only on what you have seen or read on this board then you do not know the Man Mac Telle. There is more to him than what can be found here. He has done more good for the sport than bad and will continue to do so. I can guess that if he was on the east coast and attended more east coast events and you guys who have never had the pleasure of tasting Mac Telle in real life  You would know he really is a pretty good dude all in all and some times, can go over board...wwwwwwwwaaaaaaay over board. I can relate to that if you know what I mean. I have not personally read all of his posts but can attest to having to have hit delete on a number of occassions on ARM TV, I know he can be offensive but I simply scold him like the little baby that he is and he is good for a few weeks. Much like you would do with an infant child. Actually Mac does have much child still in him to think about it...and that ability to go overboard also has the ability to be really cool at times also... so do we give him a lobotomy all together to get rid of the badness or keep him just like he is. I say keep em around and just spank him now and again. Also, To kick him off completely ignores the second half of the equation....the guys who choose to get involved. If you don't like the posts don't read or click. If you choose to then you are as equally guilty because eyeballs is what flames Mac's inner fire. If you can't handle don't read or respond. When he goes overboard spank him a little and it will calm the beast within. the warning level only gases the situation IMO. Respectfully, Gary |

Robert I want Mac to stay on the board, but I have to disagree about the freedom of speech thing. It is a priveledge to be on this board, not a right. There are rules about posting and not being offensive or crude. It is no game to expect people to follow the rules set down. That same constitutional amendment that provides free speech prohibits any law that would stop the free exercise of religion. Funny how everyone want to hang on to that first part of it, but want to stop me from praying or talking about Jesus in a government place |

I have just one question for you Mac Telle.
Are you going to respect the vote that you started (by your own words) with our moderator Bill Cox?
Are you a man of your word? Whatever the poll result will be.
Are you an honest arm wrestler? Most of us can not figure you out by your written texts. Obviously you are something else according to people that know you. Do you believe we should trust you after all the BS you have produced?
(OK there were more than just one question?)
How do you reply?

I agree, mac is a good guy, sure he ruffles some feathers, and yes he prolly needs to settle down alittle, but theres no doubt he loves this sport, and i agree, if he is kicked off this board it is a shame and i will delete my account and have nothing to do with this message board if this happens.

John,
I dont disagree with you, but I've been in sales all of my life and the best ones (Sales people)are always the most work! They get out of line and you have to constantly get them back inline. Mac is simply a fire cracker that needs to be managed. Everyone is different and everyone has different personalities, should we just get rid of them all together? I think we should love him for what and who he is and Bill should keep him in line. This pole is not the right way to go about it, even though this was Mac's idea doesnt make it right...
One side were saying we should get rid of him because he's missing something or he's out of line and on the other hand were saying let's take his great advice and hang him by it. I dont understand that part?
Either way I have enough things to worry about, but just wanted to speak my peace to ensure this good man is not kicked off something he loves.

All this talk over one person...ARE YOU KIDDING ME!....If theres this much problem with one member, the lines shouldn't be that hard to read between. He either needs to quit junking up the board with needless threads and stuff that people really don't want to here about or be gone. Over the past couple of months between birthdays and BS (Mac Telle), the board as it used to be has took a left turn. And God forbid don't put a tournament on the front page because it will be gone in less than 24 hrs. I myself am a very forgiving person. But if he can't quit this non-sense than please Bill Cox take him from the membership. ENOUGH
