Berate people? A bit overly defensive, I'd say. But it isn't hard to understand when he's a lightning rod - somewhat self-inflicted - for getting kicked in the teeth himself. I've argued with him (amazingly, on-topic and without the bullshit) as much as anyone. When it ventures into the silly personal stuff (I made $787,000, no you didn't, yes I did, you're a troll, no you're the troll, etc, etc, etc.) I steer clear of it. Seems like a viable strategy thus far and requires no polls nor any referendums on membership status.

Ban the Bomb
Ban people who handicap while standing at the self betting machines.
Ban Rollon deodorant.
But don't ban the Emerald Man

If I were running things, I'd be a banning fool, banning right and left, but not EMD4ME. He's fine, fighting the good the fight.
BUT since I haven't finished my coffee, I just had a brain cramp and accidentally voted yes in the poll (I was thinking "Keep Him Yes or No" instead of ban him yes or no). So please mentally switch my vote when looking at the results.

I was hoping this thread was closed already but since it's not, it gives me the chance to respond.
Spot on JHB.
I'll say this. Every single one of my "arguments" on here were initiated by people who somehow attacked my credibility. My character is my everything, so I will defend myself when applicable.
You and I get along great because we discuss topics. No personal attacks giveth or taketh. I have zero problem ever agreeing to disagree. Have done so with countless people on here. It's when snide remarks are made that I give what people give.
Anyway, I chose not to VOTE LOL. Figured, I didn't want to taint the results with a biased opinion.
Now I will (especially since 1 person voted the wrong away-that's cool, crap happens) make my vote LOL.
Thanks again JHB for the direct feedback. That's what I like about you.

I will respectfully request that EMD not get anywhere near my ass cheeks, particularly if spit is involved.

It's never a good idea to let a Greek get too close to your ass cheeks.

he did? sorry had to laugh. I have not yet used it because my paypal account was hacked last fall, same time I started my VPN service. I'd like to read it because he was funny, by the large amount of responses, obviously he was a good read. No worries, You're Horse racing logic is good with me
I find it hard posting picks because I only use my top COMPUTER pick a few times, The value can be 2nd ,3rd or lower pick.

Ban Him? Definitely not. He has prompted me to do 2 things.
1. Work Harder at watching replays
2. Bet Emerald
Those 2 alone are enough for me to vote no.

You're making me blanken blush! Hard to do a 230 pound guy.
So tell me honestly, how do you like Emerald?
