RE:<No can do Paul. If you want the privilege to post here, you can not do this. Even though I no longer can read every post, I have every intention of sticking with the standards that we set when this thread was started! >

Standards?!?!? What a joke!!! I was out of town this weekend and am a couple hundred posts behind and don't have time to dig up as many links as I otherwise could but the fact remains that Paul is the subject of daily hypocritical derision on this thread. He is constantly referred to as:

Paulie
Paulie Shore
Pee Wee Paulie
Pengle
prengle
Pawl

Just to name a few. In addition many posts are just as insulting and inflammatory as the one that you warned him for. I am not trying to defend Paul but I am surprised that he has been as restrained as he has been in the face of the blatant hypocrisy that occurs daily on this thread.

I remembered reading a particularly rude post by Bill Jackson a couple posts back this morning and went to his profile to find it but in clicking back to get to his name so I could get to his profile I couldn't help running into another particularly rude one liner by Milo Morai. (an indication of how prevalent attacks on Paul are.) I am not trying to pick on either one since it is my contention that this abuse and hypocrisy is widespread among many posters on this thread.

So if you want to ban or warn Paul then at least admit that you are doing it out of personal distaste for him (or even collective personal distaste) but save us the BS and hypocrisy of mentioning standards that are selectively enforced at best.

Just a few examples:

Mani,

Hmm, I followed the thread of some of the links that I posted and found even more poignant examples of what I am saying:

Do these not seem rude to you? I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you only warned Paul due to a complaint made against him so I hope this will serve as a counterpoint complaint. I am beginning to think that the whole point of this thread is to have a safe place to bash Paul with impunity and not allow him to reciprocate without being banned. How utterly cowardly and pathetic.

Mani -

You obviously read my posts - so maybe you missed this one.
