AGD banned?

[Bicyclerider]

I assume this is where to post a question like this - saw in another thread a poster said AGD had been banned?  Is this true?  What's up with that?  I know he gets on people's nerves but we need a good curmudgeon around here.

[drbeachboy]

and actually has some facts to present. There is already enough opinions going around in this place. Unban AGD, NOW!

[Bicyclerider]

Should we start a petition?

AGD was banned for a month for making rude remarks towards someone.

Yeah, a real stretch in here. I say, grant the man clemency.

[Heysaboda]

No AGD, No Peace!

Hey, I didn't say I agree with it. I'd love to have AGD back.

It might pull us out of the black hole of The People vs. Mike Love.

I missed it.  Didn't realize he was gone.  What thread did the written abuse occur?   I wanna see who the abusee was to see if he deserved it.

Here's the thread:

Rocky Raccoon really didn't deserve it, but there didn't seem to be any hurt feelings in the end.

Well, no one deserves it, but a few ask for it and get it. Bring him back and as penance writes "I shall not make rude remarks to dumb-asses" 100 times.

Seriously, for "some kind of special stupid"? Really? Not even a cuss-word? A month? Wow, tough Judge!

I didn't make the call but have no beef with it. I think he has two more weeks left on it.

[oldsurferdude]

He's spouting on the BB threads on the Hoffman board which is what I did while doing hard time here.

[18thofMay]

AGD, bring him back!

[Ovi]

Just because he's a living Beach Boys encyclopedia doesn't give him free pass to act like a total asshole. Calling somebody "special stupid" over something as simple as a misreading (which was even pointed in previous posts) was "asshole-ish" enough to deserve a few weeks off, in my opinion.

[Bicyclerider]

Hopefully he'll come back rested with fresh invectives to hurl our way.  I can't wait!

Calling someone a name is not being an asshole. It's called being irrate. People have been called worse in here with lesser penalty involved. Besides, why is it OK for you to say hes's an asshole ("...act like a total asshole" or "asshole-ish")? Shouldn't you be banned for a month, now? It sounds a helluva lot worse than "total stupid".

He needs to control his emotions better, a BBs historian of his standing shouldn't fight with every random poster he doesn't agree with.

So do a lot of us in here. It doesn't matter what or who he is, we all need to treat each other better. We don't respect each other enough in here. I don't know about you, but once I have an issue with someone in here, I become a bit leery about dealing with them again. It's human nature to get defensive, and in here words are all we have as a way to direct our anger and frustrations.

I don't think it's the same situation. AGD called RockyRacoon stupid for simply misreading a year. I called AGD an asshole because of the way he behaved in that situation (and many, many others, to be honest). But I shouldn't have commented in the first place, since this is none of my business. I just don't like the guy and his attitude pisses me off whenever I read what he has to say (which in many cases = useful information). I guess that's just the way things are, and I'll have to deal with it. I mean, who am I to tell one of the most respected and informed members here how to behave.

Indeed, it is a personal thing. They always are. I don't think everyone's an asshole, just the one's I have issues with. Like you just said, you have no issues with the ban because you don't like him. That's a personal reason. I like AGD and I think it was excessive. I'll say one thing though, I like people who don't pussyfoot around. Who will call me out when I act stupid (and I do act stupid, sometimes). We are getting too sensitive with words. When I was growing up, I was taught a saying that I still follow: "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me". I might get mad in the heat of the moment, but if someone calls me an asshole, I am not going to lose sleep over it.

SMiLE Brian - we know that "emotion control" is not the strong suit, on this forum. Passionate people become passionate and hot under the collar.  Knowing that someone as knowledgeable and researched as Andrew is participating, makes me try at least to do a little investigatory check prior to posting. 

And we've disagreed hotly about many things. No big deal. Reasonable minds can differ. But, I truly respect his scholarship.

A month seems a mite long. 

Sentence commutation?   

While you are exiled a  Smiley brew for Andrew! 

[runnersdialzero]

He also made some kind of threat involving a bomb or something toward Phil Cohen. I appreciate the f*** out of everything the guy's done for the fanbase, but that in addition to the great number of outright mean-spirited insults towards several others here kind of crosses a line, to me.

I also remember getting in fights as a kid and saying to the other kid, "I kill you". Or Moe of the Three Stooges saying "I'll Murderlize you". We all say stuff that we have no intention of carrying out. I laugh in here, because when directed at someone else, people say to have a thick skin, but when directed straight at them they take offense.

[MBE]

May I say something about Andrew? He has been a friend, mentor, and basically all around decent guy to me. Honestly he has real heart and I cannot tell you enough how rare that can be in our business.
