    Pat can come in and attack me for telling people to shut up about Allan, and I have to sit like a little whore and take his **** in my a$$? Would you? I doubt it.





    I didn't know that I was attacking you. Just stating that you were a little over the mark stating 400,000 posts. And just like everyone has said in the past no one want to see garbage on the screen like what you posted.

    I knew where you are, I just didn't want to say it publicly if you didn't want it known. You are my competition next year! :D

    Thanks. Bye.

    Finance/Investments, although I went the IT Consulting route out of college as that was hot and treated me well until the implosion in 2000. I probably would of made it further today if I would of stayed in Finance, but there wouldn't of been any FerrariChat.com. A 40 hour a week low stress job has allowed me to develop FerrariChat.com. I'm happy, although you would never guess I was a Finance major considering we have lost money the last 3 years. I keep telling Jennie it's a "long term" plan. :)

    Naa, not quite yet. You've been given many warnings, you have been banned for a day in the past, you still haven't broken the almost unobtainable threshold of 1,000+ incidents like Allan. :) Getting away with a cuss word now and then is OK, but almost every post you've had the past several months has been in the literary style displayed above. Of the same style was NNO's post a couple months back. That is clearly crossing the line and you know it.

    You're a smart guy, you can contribute, but your postings the past several months have really gone overboard. We want the old Nibbles back. You thanked me when I banned you a day so you could get some rest. If you don't chill out, we'll try a one month rest, maybe you'll be on summer break by then.

    So what? - It's people like you that makes the outside world resent the US. IT's a shame, cuz' there's many nice people on this board. Republican ****head. Socialists rule, we do better than you these days. That's exactly what I have to say, you just said the same to me about my way of thinking. I'm not an idealist like you, I can see whats going on, not make a glory picture in my head and start believing its the truth. You are one of the people who has walked in to GWB's lies with both feet. I enjoy talking to the other members, when it's politics, we just don't agree. And it will ALWAYS be like that, you are just arrogant and can't accept other ways then your own. I've had some very big arguements with "Tifosi69" - But thats off-topic, and it stays there. To bad you can't think far enough to seperate the two. And you know what, our country is small, but i'd rather live here these days than in yours. (No offense to the others here, but he insultet me, and that I can not accept. I did nothing to him)

    If you ban Allan from this list, you'd better get your ban gun out and start aiming at MANY others on this site that I believe are much worse. I've been on many automotive forums and it seems many of them are losing focus on the first amendment rights.... I think many are now going to be walking on eggshells from now on.

    Espirit,

    Regardless of what one thinks of Allans ban, you have to realize automotive forums are private entities. This IS Rob's board. Thus 1st amendment rules really don't apply.

    It is not a democracy.

    Whether one disagrees with it or not is different, but those are just the facts Jack. :)

    1st amendment rights are great and a good guideline to start, but a private forum isn't under these restrictions.

    I see your point, but just FYI, first amendment rights don't apply here. Rob throwing Allan out is like throwing a rude, mean and nasty guest out of his home; he can do it. I would miss Allan if he was funny; some think he is, I just never saw clever wit because he was more angry than anything. Maybe it doesn't come across as well on line. People who have met him said he is OK.
    Anyway, If we want to debate something worthwhile re 1st amendment rights, how about what the FCC is doing?

    If that's the case, you better get busy like Esprit said and start banning some other users.

    Is it me, or is it ironic that the 2 recently banned people (Mako and Allan) are Lamborghini owners?

    I enjoyed Allans posts, but as said, they tend to bash other users, and thats why they were banned, not because of their cars.

    We still have 200-300 users on FC that own Lamborghinis. Just happens Mako and Allan were Lamborghini owners that antagonized many users all the time. Gary Green antagonized other users all the time and he wasn't a Lambo person. Maybe some people forget this is a Ferrari site, but since I'm pretty forgiving we do have Off Topic and Other Italian discussions.

    Clax, was Mako a Lambo owner? I know him from Prime, and I know he has an NSX. If I recall correctly, he loves Lambo and was looking to buy one. He said he had a 360 CS on order, but wanted Lambo instead. On prime, he said he might wait till the next nsx come out before he decides.

    I think he was a lambo supporter and not an owner. Not that it makes any difference now.

    Rob, it is rather difficult to miss the huge FerrariChat banner on top ;) I mean when I am at the library, after I am on the site, I quickly arrow down, so it is not glaring to the librarians behind me :D

    Is it me, or is it ironic that the 2 recently-banned people (Mako and Allan) are trouble-making pot-stirrers that contributed little to no value to the overall community...? So what if Allan could tell you anything you wanted to know about a Diablo or how to fix it (often) or whatever- that doesn't excuse the fact that he was a constant irritation to the community... Mako, too... Did nothing but put Ferraris down; constructive criticism is one thing, but blatant and constant negativity is unpleasant...

    James Glickenhaus gives constructive criticism about Ferraris, Fords and even Lamborghinis; how come he's not banned...? Is it because he goes about it with class...? Is it because, if he has an opinion, he modestly voices it and calls it a day...? Is it because he's not brash about it...? Yes. Allan is the exact opposite... Brash, over-opinionated and classless...


    Way to go, Allan... All that money you always brag about and you can even maintain membership on an internet forum...

    Yo Carbon, as I have said previously, I don't mind you or Allan, in fact quite the opposite. I find both of you intriguing. However no reason to bash him now that he is gone, is there?

    Just my .02 turkish lira ;)


    EDIT: I think you meant to say in your post "you can't even maintain membership"

    LOL, you're right, that's what i meant...

    Yeah, i guess since the little buttnut is banished, i can leave well enough alone... Just getting my last digs in, i guess... i really couldn't stand that guy... He irked me... If there was reason or substance behind his opinion of me, that would be one thing... but his whole arsenal of filth was baseless and completely unnecessary... i'm glad to see him go. :)

    As the saying goes, "it takes 2 to tango". The responses that Allan received often added fuel to the fire.
