Uncle Rico must go

ME

Until tonight I hadn't paid any attention to him. Is he always this way?

...not me. I am 100% free speech.

Just another troll to be ignored.

All the whiners should go.

He's already gone.

So far he's contributed nothing except hate and discontent. He can do that somewhere else.

Can you make Boy Genius go away too? Pretty please with sugar in top?

What about Rico's MPD's???

...not me. I am 100% free speech.

Although I agree with free speech; I also believe that posting and speaking are 2 different things. JMO

Anyone can post and have the security of their keyboard and screen name and throw ignorant insults to people they don't know. It takes a real man or woman to say/state the comments he's made face/face. The final straw with me was his ignorant rant/poll, ass-uming all Lesbians are ugly.

There is no doubt in my mind that he wouldnt' have the stones to repeat his uneducated ignorance in person and I believe and have always said on this forum that typing means nothing. His insults to EVERY race, creed, origin has hit everybody in some sort of way and just short of "showing my redneck side" it's best he's gone.

Thank you for banning him.

Wow...was there a reason to get rid of him? :confused:

Wait...what?? Are you the same person I had this discussion with a few weeks ago? :confused:

If you did remove him then :high5:

I don't understand what the big deal is when someone bugs you. You put them on ignore. Done. If he bugs enough people, and enough people put him on ignore, he will eventually stop posting. And if he does post, he's on ignore, right?

He didn't really bother me at all, but he often posted some hateful stuff that was an eyesore and an embarassment. I'm ok with people saying stupid stuff on occasion, heck I know I do it too, but there's a big difference between people saying dumb things or being moderately offensive, versus someone who is intentionally being hateful and trying to insult people (based on race/religion/etc) just because they can. Nothing UncleRico posted ever targetted something about me, but that doesn't mean it wasn't disgusting.

This is supposed to be a website that welcomes everyone from SOMD (ok, laugh because I said it's supposed to be welcoming) and it doesn't get that done when you have people like him running around. He was far and beyond the worst offender, though. On top of all that, advertisers probably don't like their ads going up on top of a thread that says something derogatory like that. When all is said and done, they're the ones paying for this site (from what I hear) and I know as an advertiser I'd pull my ad if stuff like Uncle Rico's was actually tolerated around here.

I agree that from the perspective of an individual poster, it isn't necessarily that big of a deal. If they don't like someone or feel bullied by them, they can just ignore them. Unfortunately, not every one is wired to be able to do that, and some people have different sensibilities.

It is a different situation, however, from the perspective of a business owner. Vrai runs a business (I think), the success of which is predicated on the participation of the community. Some of those active participants, as well as perspective participants, may be discouraged from participating by certain behavior on the part of other participants. She just can't allow that phenomena to pervade.

I'm sure it is a difficult balancing act, and all things being equal, she'd prefer not to have to make decisions in this regard. I think that's the point of the other thread she started - she's asking people to avoid putting her in the position of having to make such decisions.

good post. and you're right, it's not fair of people to put her in that position. we should all be able to randomly chit chat and discuss without it getting to such dangerous territory.

In the past i've belonged to other forums that are setup like this with random chit-chat and everything else...yet this is the first one i've seen that has people going out of their way to be offensive and hateful. Those other websites didn't even have rules and allowed free reign, yet everyone was able to keep it relatively peaceful. And those were national (or international)...so i don't see why people can't keep it more friendly, especially when everyone is local and a good portion of you have met each other. I would have thought that'd encourage a better atmosphere since it's a community thing :shrug:

Just another troll to be ignored.

That was my tought. He posted all kinds of crazy stuff to get attention and it worked. The best way to get back at him would have been to ignore him, but that's not always easy to do.

Can you make Boy Genius go away too? Pretty please with sugar in top?

You guys are right. I can, as an individual, ignore the jerks here. Some people do feel the need to respond. Regardless, even if most do ignore it, the impact of the bad post is a negative influence on the site as a whole, and the sponsors respond in kind. I myself have supported Vrai in the past and mentioned the sponsors, and am well aware of the influence a single post can make. I just wasn't thinking along those lines when I posted above. Although I still do recommend 'ignore' very highly! :biggrin:

Yes, I've thought...this guy is a looser and just ignored his posts before but when he talks about "ugly lesbians" (which my daughter is not ugly)...it's personal.

Unfortunately my friendly-happy-go-lucky went out the window and the gloves are off when you talk about my kid....AND YOUR's WOULD TOO! I no-longer care about political correct-ness and lose all dignity when that subject is degraded.

Yes we can turn a blind-eye....but I don't and won't when it's down-rite ignorant.

And yes, as a paying advertiser, if this kind of talk is allowed I wouldn't want to be associated with a site that allows it.

Thank you Vrai....for not allowing trash talk. It not only misrepresents the site, but it also leads others to believe Southern MD is a bunch of hypocrites and let's face it; there's already enough trash talk without going all the way simply for "shock value". If someone wants to talk crap they can find another message board to do it on.

So, none of the above would be my answer. I'm a conscientous voter, and expect the presidential candidate who discusses the need for transparency to actually live up to his rhetoric.

I wanted to know McCain's education, his voting record, his class standing, his executive experience, his foreign policy experience, his military record, etc. The difference is, that was all more than readily available to find out, and I did and read and evaluated it.

Why is it wrong to want the same information available from the presidential candidate who stressed transparency? Unless he has information he doesn't want people to know for some reason, why is his information somehow reasonable to shelter?

His race has nothing to do with anything, still.

And, as far as being hypocritical - I wanted the same information from both candidates, so that's not true.

As far as religion goes, I've repeatedly suggested that I do not believe him to be Muslim, but that he does have more Muslim education/social interaction than the average American, so his background in that would be a great selling point for his ability to work with our fanatical enemies and soothe relations with our Muslim friends. Unfortunately, he chooses to deny the obvious Muslim influences he's had in his life. Why would that be? I still don't think he's a Muslim, nor would I care if he was (I would not see that as a disqualifying factor any more than being a Mormon, a Catholic, or an atheist); but his renouncement of his step-father's influence is telling to me about him.

As far as being partisan - well, you've got me there. I belong to a political party, and generally vote for the person who's beliefs are closer to mine than the other person on the ticket. Since the party I belong to generally is closer to my beliefs than the other party, I guess you could foolishly call my a partisan. However, as I stated before, I do expect the same information from both candidates.

Maybe you should ask him that question. :shrug:

I said you guys are whackjobs because you hop on board every conservative conspiracy theory that exists. :shrug:

Me, I'm gonna be concerned with the bigger issues: The economy, the wars, education, healthcare. You guys keep worrying about what scholarships Obama applied for if it floats your boat. :yay:Actually, he gave a list of things that weren't answered (a pretty long one), and some idiot suggested that it was answered, then gave the education one as a suggestion that was answered.

I pointed out that one wasn't answered. You argued it was, I proved you wrong.

We can go line for line on the rest of the list if you like. :lol: But, I'm sure you wouldn't like that.

But, you did suggest it was wrong - racist even - for wanting to know. You said it was racist because I didn't ask about Palin (why you have such a limp-on for her I have no idea). The real fact is that I was able to find out about her because she was investigated. McCain was investigated. Some Ohio plumber's assistant was investigated more thoroughly than Obama, and thus the answers weren't there for Obama.

That was Coulter's point. That was my point, Aps' point, etc.





But, we can move forward. You say it's okay to want to know - and that's a good start for you. Don't YOU want to know? (that was the question)
