Serious question. Why does Dell get a month ban for "boorish behaviour", but Railbird is allowed to post as much racist and anti-Semitic bullshit as he wants? And all he gets is the occasional "Birdie, please". You kick him out for making posts about a member who has him on ignore and never even sees his posts anyway. You don't understand it, but if Dell doesn't come back, you've just weakened this place in ways you haven't even realized yet. His thread has the most views per day than any other thread, he's the straw that stirs EOG's drink, and you get rid him due to "boorish behaviour". A week I can see, but a month? I hope you rethink things and change his ban to only a week, if not, we'll look back one day and realize this was the day the forum starting going downhill.

DUDE made some harsh comments regarding WINKY's late mother.

WINKY objected.

Thus, I took action.
I was coming in to support Dell but I do agree this is unacceptable. while its true others are occasionally more offensive , no question that thread would have been muddled AF unless of course Dell was given a chance to no post in it as a warning. John Kelly, hope the derby treated you well.

Attack me all you want - I am fine with it.

My mother has more class in her pinkie than DD will ever have.

I am even OK saying something about her. HOWEVER - EVERYWHERE WE WENT - people ALWAYS commented on her purple hair. THEY ALL LOOOOOOOVED IT! She checked into Hoag on Monday, March 24 - the day before she passed away. At least 5 female employees - including some nurses - all said "Love your hair."

After she passed I called some of her doctors to let her know. I told them Mom passed. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM said: "I loved her purple hair."

That was as much a part of her as it got.

At her CoL I wore this wig - in honor of her and here I am holding Velvet - the dog she rescued in December, 2016. Velvet followed Mom EVERYWHERE.

The opening odds start here
We no longer see "banned' as status. JK rather has more important time on his hands or this just didn''t touch enough of a classic nerve.

Could not have written it better myself.
You didn't have to ban him for the month, you could have given him a one week ban, he would have learned his lesson and stayed out of Winky's thread, and if he didn't, then you could have given him the month. He's been a member here for 20 years, he deserves a second chance, you could still do the right thing and change the ban to one week, if not there's a chance he won't come back, which will ruin this place. I know you don't like him, but you need to be fair, if this was one of EOG's "good guys" you would have probably just given a warning, but you let your personal feelings take control and overreacted, It's never too late to do the right thing John, I'm asking you to change the ban to a week, then put him on probation for the rest of the month, if he acts up, then he deserves what he gets, but as a long time member I think he desreves a second chance, at least consider it

Very Highly Debatable .

Not debatable at all. His thread averages over 1,800 views a day, there's nothing that even comes close to that. He's controversial, but weather people like him or hate him, he attracts eyeballs, he's the best poster here, and if he doesn't come back, all John has done is weaken this place, and all to protect one member who admittedly isn't even bothered by him and who has him on ignore. The punishment should fit the crime, a one week ban is fair, not the whole month. I'm hoping John reconsiders and does the right thing

Dell is the Howard Stern of EOG, love him or hate him, everyone wants to see what he'll post next

Every time an athlete gets suspended, he appeals the suspension and it always gets reduced. I'm appealing Dell's suspension on his behalf, I implore John Kelly to do the fair thing, to put his personal feeling towards him aside and be fair

I think Dell should've gotten at least 2 months for attacking someone's dead mother. That's very sick to do that. Mr Kelly was very kind giving him only one month.

I've had DD on ignore since his sabotage of the GC, so thankfully I missed the nasty post. Absolute genius by JK to make it a month and insure Winky and BetDSI a clean GC.

One problem with the ignore feature is it truly doesn't ignore the poster. DD 's inane crap pushes threads up and lists the last post as "ignored member". This obscures a previous post in a thread I might want to read. I look forward to a great May.

I wouldn't place too much stock in the number of views....prob DD checking in several hundred times to post more crap that most posters can't understand

Perhaps I take DD to lightly. The internet however is not a measure of personality of the pseudo-character to me. Examples are abundant across the board here, so I just let the dribble roll as I scroll any particular thread.

JK is one of the thickiest skinned, long lease giving, non-drama person i have ever met

If he bans it was deserved and something 99% of people would have done long before

One week, sure. A month? No fucking way. John should have given him a one week ban, if after the week Dell continued to harass Winky, then he could have increased it to a month, but to suspend him for an entire month right off the bat is too excessive. It's not to late to right the wrong John, you can do the right thing and reduce his suspension to one week and put him on probation for the rest of the month
