    What's wrong with a little flesh? I didn't see what he posted, and I'm not in the habit of looking at those threads, but as long as the thread is clearly labeled, what's the problem?

    Art, it was one of the Dave trademarked .gif's with the lifting of the white shirt to expose her chest. You know, our favorite one. :D

    Come now Art, I would have expected better from a lawyer like yourself. It's not that there's a "problem", the fact is, the policy WAS stated by Rob repeatedly and MaranelloDave violated that stated policy. It's all a matter of the letter of the law/rule. Dave committed a serious violation, and he just needs some old western style justice to "rein in" his high spirited prancing horse. So Dave will just have to pay for his photographic posting sins by staring at this photograph of Billy Boy Clinton's library here in downtown Little Rock. What could be worse for a wild west conservate than having to stare at the "Emerald City" of the liberal world?

    Welcome to martyrdom. Let's face it, there's firewalls, co-workers, supervisors, families, recent history, announcements, whatever - not the site owner/administrator's personal taste that is the reason for this 1-day nothing-is-sacred but making sure the firewalls, co-workers, families, supervisors, whatever - don't give an F-Chatter a hard time for viewing the site, let alone - getting in the site. That's the way I see it.

    Yes, he is doinug the SAME THING that he attacked others for. Apparently he feels that he is better than other people because he has been on the board for a while. Fchat has let is guard down way too much. There is a double standard here and it is ridiculous.

    Wow. Upset, righteous indignity, filth, this thread has it all. Dave I can appreciate your position and frankly I agree with you. Rob seems to pick his targets with a random number generator, but then it IS his board. Gonna play in someone else's sandbox, you have to use their shovel.

    And I don't necessarily agree that Dave's actions define "trolling." He may have used a common troll tactic, but someone in a respectable position on the board isn't a troll.

    And Carbon (weird, but it is his name):
    You can't be serious, right? You had three choices: 1) take the high road, ignore it and move on, 2) practice the art of the insult, nothing quite so enjoyable as a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent, no foul language necessary, and 3) pull out every cheap, disgusting, vile and otherwise despicable analogy you can and do the "I know I am, what are you, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you" first-grade level contest. I like you dude, your experiences, your writing talent, your enthusiasm for the marque...but step back and seriously think about it from an adult point of view.

    Love you, one and all. ;)

    I could not agree with this more. NNO, you were not forced to do anything. You lost your cool and made an ass of yourself, while also managing to bring the quality of Fchat down a few rungs. You decided to participate in the flame war. You could have simply not posted, yet you did anyway. Do not try to transfer the blame onto anyone else or claim that you had no choice and were forced to do what you did. You have to accept responsibility for your actions man. What you did was wrong.

    The Maranelloman has been banned? This cannot be! Dave is one of the nicest people that I have met on FChat. This man has helped me at track events @ TWS, has the best sense of humor & is very helpful with others. Has been a great watch dog for this site, cutting out all the bull****ers & keeping them in line. Dave helped make this site a great place & kept it interesting. Can some post the link that started this ban so I can get an idea of what the hell happened?

    Rob, I have been out from ~1:30 until now (9:30). Your email was in my in box...I will respond to it here, for simplicity. No, there was nothing in the screen I saw about being banned, nor was there a clock indicating for how long. I found out both by erasing all cookies, logging out as M-man, and looking at the Bikini thread as an unregistered observer. There, I saw your post about me being banned for a day. Perhaps you could have emailed me to tell me you had yanked my picture instead of banning me WITH NO NOTICE? Good grief. The last time, you said No Penetration, not No Topless. Don't you remember??

    You talk about Enjoythemusic emailing you politely? Well, I did too, Rob. I understand your work responsibilities, but I did my part. But, WHY COULD YOU NOT HAVE PRACTICED WHAT YOU PREACHED?

    If you want no nudity at all, SAY SO, dammit!!!! Your Terms of Use are very vague. Don't blame me for not reading your mind.

    And, if this is trolling.......well, you've got a lot to learn. Start by looking right under your nose if you want trolls. I ain't one. But several responded in this thread.

    All I will say is, if you're gonna moderate a 4,000 member community, at least do it consistently, please. Right now, it is anything but---hence, the original point of this thread.

    Good luck on your site, Rob. You're gonna need it.

    Over & out.

    wow. that whole janet jackson thing really has got everyone up in arms, huh? it's ironic to think that, for so long, "the board" put up with obvious morons/troublemakers/trolls like gary green (and his batallion of schizophrenic personalities) and yet, dave is the one used to set a precedent?
    in this case, i think the subject matter should have been objectified (no pun intended) rather than the individual; infractions against the "establishment" notwithstanding, dave is a long time member of value and merit.
    i see this eddict of discipline to be a bit heavy handed -- mis-directed, perhaps?

    Dave - You have been a fantastic contributor and I for one would absolutely want you to stay.

    I am however puzzled by your position in this thread. If you go and Read the sticky thread in GFD where Rob describes the things he is doing to make this a better place, he stated the rules. Furthermore, he described timeframes for implementation. He also stated that transgressions would result in temp bans even if you are a veteran user. All he's trying to do is clean this place up - which is what got you upset in the first place. So why come down on him when he is trying to make it a better place for everyone (you included)

    Now it may seem heavy handed what he did to you. But you read that thread and knew the rules. Furthermore, you said Rob's site, Rob's rules. Now he shoulda put Carbon in the temp ban (for a few days to cool off) as well. But this is a work in process.

    I want you to stay but you also have to play by the rules. If you cant, then this may just be too much hassle for you.

    Hope you have a good weekend/

    This reminds me of the time when I was a sysadmin and was ordered to delete ~4Gb of downloaded MP3 files from a user's local drive. It was "time to make an example" despite the other more egregious infractions by a number of other users. Corp. decided that the legal liability of the "stolen" music was more of a problem than the graphic porn being archived by others (yes I knew about those and had reported them, but not the evil music downloaders), and told me to do it. Cost me a couple of good friends who still don't like me to this day.

    This board is just going through typical growing pains -- comraderie followed by flame wars, then indignation and accusations, then people leave, the "quality of the board" goes down, yadda yadda, then starts to recover and begin the cycle again.

    Long live FerrariChat!!!!!

    -Wow. Upset, righteous indignity, filth, this thread has it all-

    Well not quite ALL, there is a serious need for a cresendo and climax, Rob begs MarenelloMans forgiveness, they decide to elope to Conn. for the very first Grand Fchat Gay Marriage and decide to open their new site AssClownChat.com. of course DES/Carbon McCoy/NNO and who knows what others is their best man, friend, confidant and all round vulgar third wheel. Which also leaves the door open for spousal cheating while the other is glued to the computer monitor fevorishly hitting the refresh button.

    Of course the season must come to an end with a awe inspiring cliffhanger so stayed tuned to ASS CLOWN CHAT.com

    As with any commercial enterprise, all viewing rights are for sale by subscpition only of a soon to be announced nominal fee. Sponsors wanted where hit counts are king! Disclaimer: I am going this to fuel my enthusiasm for the gay community. None of the money will go to me, bandwith is expensive, so don't to buy the T-shirts and ignore "the growing pains" . I am not posting this on my own, I am being forced by others, and my LOVE for Ferraris so it's not my fault!

    Look, guys - years from now you'll laugh about all this... so laugh now, OK?

    Maybe this can be sent to the offending party and be put in place of the offending image.
