As of this very moment, the Rick0180 account has been banned permanently on the basis of being an obvious double account (and an annoying one at that).

In turn, I have re-instated some of the posting powers of the Grill account. I believe the no-posting punishment for it has been long enough by now. However, as Grill seems to have a particularaffinity of starting prolonged arguments in the Poliutics and the Sports forum, he will have no posting abilities in those two, as well as in the Water Cooler. The posting abilites for the other forums have been restored for now.

Now, Grill/Goldie, I suggest you to tread carefully. I have all reasons to have your account being banned for good sicne it's probably the 5th or so you have created here. This is your last chance. You don't get out of lineand stop interacting with the likes or Chip, JMart and Rev for good, you'll stay here. Maybe in time I'll restore the remaining posting abilities too. But do I get more substantial complains from other posters - you're a goner.

However, the plea also applies to the aforementioned poster. Don#t bait Grill, just try to ignore him. If any side feels that the other is stepping out of line MAJOR time - report!

This, for now, is my final decision.

The ship is ablaze and you forbid the boy to puke on the deck.

Great decision, Arthur.

BAIT.

Sounds good to me, although I have kept him on ignore and usually stay away from his rants.

OK, No more rants, as I won't be taking on all fighters and haters. Just look above, as these are some of the ones who came after me and my teams. But from now on, I will let the standings do my work, as Yankees are about to take 1st Place from the Red Sox in 2011. After the Yankees 2009 World Series Championship and the 2010 League Championship Series. Best in Baseball.

But, please note that of the 4 comments above...

Rev ignored me so much that he had a note about me in his signature.

Chippy and Argos do what they always do here at KJ, make posts that try to start trouble! Which never get management comments or punishments.

And I am the one that is called out by the management! (Also, wondering why others don't also lose posting rights, as there is a list of 10 that are worst then me, IMO)

Argos has been warned/banned a few times I believe. Chippy might have been warned once or twice?

Either way, I look forward to giving you another chance, Grill. I would like to have some intelligent conversations with you on here.

He does not even notice that I argued for, not against him.

I did notice, but just because this 1 time that you didn't argue with me, doesn't change the fact that usually you like to be a trouble-maker. And maybe here, it was just more important for you to argue against Dr. Lecter.

PS. Sure hope I get back on the sports board soon, as another of my great picks came true. That the Red Sox were only ahead of the Yankees based on an easy schedule, and the Yankees would soon be back in 1st Place. Which happened tonight.

Well, I hope so also, that can happen soon....as I asked Dr. Lecter to allow me to post in the Water Cooler, as I never was said to have caused trouble in there. And I don't think I shouldn't be allowed to post in there.

And to Dr. Lecter & Eagle, on Sports & Politics. It amazes me how dead those sections are, and it shows why such a small group got mad at me.

* In Sports, where no one has posted in 3 DAYS, the Yankees have passed everyone in the AL to become the best team. Which I always said they were, unlike the others that kept on putting them down. (Jealous? I still say as some only post in there when their teams are winning)

* In Politics, no posts in A WEEK, even with big issues like the bad bebt crisis deal and this yesterday > U.S. debt downgraded for first time ever!!!!!!

Anyway, as I always said, shame that some can't stand to discuss the negatives of their sports teams and Obama, without getting mad.

Pretty Childless, IMO! Especially on a discussion board.

Stop it, Grill, or else you're gonna be gone for good.

Hmm, I take it back. It's beyond the point of no return.

Maybe because you create multiple threads of the same topic within the span of a few days. Can you at least learn to confine it in one thread?

Who is running this place???

As Dr Lecter said he would respond to some PM questions, but he hasn't posted in 11 days?

Then he hasn't opened my PM on why I can't post in the Water Cooler, even though I hardly ever posted in there in the past.

And Eagle doesn't reply to PMs.

PS. Funny how me and BKB are treated so differently here, even though so many complain against us the same way. But I have seen that before with Mav and others. Some are allowed to fight or discuss things more than others.

And how long before I can post in Sports and Politics....as it looks like my views on the Yankees, Red Sox and Obama have come true. Sorry but they were easy calls, that should have been seen by all.

Quit your whining.

I've banned Grill. Until he shows he can post on KJ without insulting everyone and spamming my inbox, I don't think he should.

Kramer has also been banned, as he proved to be just another double account of Goldie.

How can he prove it, if he can't post here?

(I'm just being a smartass, the banning decision was right in this case).
