That happens from time to time
Yeah, I've seen it a few times in my short time here, but today was the first time I saw it unfolding in real time.

Well I guess I am going to have to check in on the weekends to see what is happening around here.
I feel and have felt that the Moderators have been extrememly fair to Gary Truman and have given him a lot of chances to prove that he is not always negative and rude. Sometimes people just don't know when to say hey maybe I was this way or that way and back off.
From what I can see the Mods try to work with someone to find out the issue and help the situation before banning them. I know it cannot be easy dealing with all the different personalities on this site; thank you for taking the time and effort with all of us.

I agree with you guys, the mods do a great job but I think it's very harsh banning GaryTruman last night. It was a bit of fun and I find it hard to believe that anyone found it offensive unless they already had an issue with Truman and I think the fun side to the PEgym is what makes it so much better than the other PE sites. I know we're all here because of PE and come here to get advice and help, but the reason many people come back time and time again is because this is also fun and sometimes lively place to be and that's why some of the other PE sites are very dull and boring and have very few members logged in in any given 24 hours.

nobody should be banned unless he is a spammer,fog seller and a pe sceptics(especially the ones the try to bash how PE doesn't work yet there are tons of members on here).That is my opinion.

Banning is done for just cause, simply being a PE skeptic wouldn't qualify someone for being banned.
I read 90% of all the threads on here and see the moderators usually warn flamers numerous times before they take action. And even then it's usually only when the attacks become personal. I don't see any censorship taking place as described. We're not hear to fight with each other. A good debate once in a while is great and a much needed venue here, however, attacking fellow posters because they disagree will spiral out of control faster then you can believe.
The only mild form of censorship I've detected here, is that the forum moderators have decided to limit the amount of threads with topics related to "what is average" and "is my dick big enough" as it seemed every other thread was a related topic here for a while. But seriously, this forum is about so much more and that topic really was about to take over everything. Some control was probably warranted in my opinion.

Thanks for your input. See the response below.
Thanks darrin - this is EXACTLY why we ban members. It's not done "off the cuff" or "from the hip" As has been said many, many, many times, this is not a free-for-all board.

Yes, for example we have a thread on Gary Truman back on the moderator forum that is over a month old and 17 pages long. We worked with him a long time and tried to get him to change his behavior, to be more respectful to everyone, etc. We had numerous discussions with him and about him before he was finally banned. This is typical -- we do take seriously the need to be open minded, even handed, and to avoid censorship. But sometimes we just cannot get disruptive people to moderate their behavior, and so they have to go. It is never pleasant but we do it for the good of PE Gym, and the thousands of members who follow the rules and just want to have a good time and learn about PE without lots of drama.

Truman said in one of his post that TTBB was just the prize, that was belittleing to her as a woman and a person and he was not intending that as good natured humor. He has openly ridiculed and attacked numerous members and was A-number 1 candidate for a life time ban. He thinks he is a cunning linguist but he is actually a tiny person with many other problems and if he had ever treated any woman i kenew or my sister the way he talked of woman on this site a ban from a pe forum would have been the least of his worries. He was constantly making remarks just to see how far he could push it and I had absolutely no respect for him. I am glad the mods got together and banned him. He was given more oppurtunity to change his ways than I would have ever given him and I am the type who believes in second chances so to say the mods went overboard or didnt give him a chance is simply not true.
GT......they should roshamo for the chance to do so. call it the greatest routine in the world.
TTBB.....you mean rashambo? .. and i would win because i don't have balls to be kicked in .. and that joke again not funny
GT.....you don't do PE routines. you cant play. winner gets you as a prize?
i'm not trying to be a dick. i'm just here to converse with people with the same interests as me. acquiring a huge ding dong.
I think if anyone else said this TTBB would of had a laugh, I think you guys have been waiting a long time to try and pick a fault with a Truman post and all been waiting to ban him.
