Roll Call of Fallen Commrades

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

His profile is disabled now and under groups it said closed. That sucks, but I suppose the women and girly-men will be happy.

There is a lot of men admiring men in this forum.

Yeah and he was toning it down as we went along and asked him to. Can't do better than that. He is also very knowledgable about RUB section and the process here. He could have been an asset.

Kip just sent a message after I asked him and he said:

I got no warning, no nothing. I went to VJ and that's what came up on the screen.

Guess the more open moderation was voted down.

He wasn't around very long this time, but back in the day the guy made some very intelligent posts, and backed them up on what was then P&R. IMO when you participate in a forum like this (CE&HST) there's going to be things said that others don't like. That's the nature of this forum. As has been stated before, if you don't like it, change the channel. This particular forum has nothing to with people obtaining visas etc. Now if someone starts going nuts in the upper forums,. that's another matter.

Not only that he's entertaining.

Looks like it's time to start another GZ/TM thread.

Some people didn't like the terminology he used, but I think he was polite to most. If you want to get a bit of insight, watch the two videos he posted earlier today fishing with his nephews. He's not the ogre that some here think. See his concern for releasing the fish uninjured. He is a great story teller and he knows how to get a rise out of people. I don't doubt that every post of his got scrutinized with a magnifying glass and probably plenty of reports from the peanut gallery.

Kip is a man's man.

Screw this place. It will never change.

I really had hope with the the detailed moderator explanations and letting Penny and Kip back again.

[luckytxn 2,264]

They had no plans to change. I knew something before the meeting even happened that told me there could be no real changes. I let Ewok know my feelings on it and said so. Of course I am a lowly member so my input meant ####### to them.

There were only 2 kinds of hope ...

... and Bob Hope died in 2003.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Yeah. I agree.

It's unfortunate. They allowed penny back. That was huge. I know the kip thing is a bummer and I'm really surprised. BUT, you guys know very well that he was a ticking time bomb. He has options. He can create another account and pm with others for advice on his next visa attempt. He's just not the best person to be posting his world views for all to see. Hopefully he will do that and keep some of us updated on his life as there is a genuine interest.

I don't think it's fair to count out this entire summit based on what was really a common sense decision. How can we say there was no "change" or "hope" when two direct mod decisions were completely reversed? When has that ever happened before? Kip being back would have been the icing on the cake and I think you all know that.

Brown nosing should get you that moderator position.

F that man, you know I'm right.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Well, it seems like he was let back and he blew it. Last thing that was removed was bragging about feeding 9-year-olds beer.

[luckytxn 2,264]

You will fit right in. Want me to go ask for you and give my vote too?

It's a shame you feel that way.
