There was a need for some editing to make this post suitable for it's intended purpose.This was sent to my personal e mail address. others that have been kicked off have sent similar or worse when reprimanded by a moderator and just shows why moderators are needed
Boy, Curtis, you really did me a big favor by kicking me off of FABO! I had been wasting 'way too much time with you dummies. Jesus, I've never before met a group of people like that, where almost nobody knows how to write, spell or punctuate, but they insist on displaying their ignorance repeatedly every day by trying to write, write, and write some more. It's really pretty shocking! It's kind of like walking down the street, announcing to every person you meet how dumb you are. Yeah, I'm sure I want to hang out with a group of people like that!

What a bunch of losers! Now I'll just move on to better things, and choose the people with whome I associate much more carefully.

The very idea that I have to tolerate a bunch of insults from fatboy redneck slopeheads, and then get kicked out of the group if I defend myself, makes me realize what a colossal waste of time FABO is.

Thanks again for the wake-up call! I think I'm going to get rid of my Mopar. I like the car, but Mopar people are just too f**king stupid to survive.

Have a nice life!

reply to disgruntled person(names have been changed to protect the not so brilliant)
Dear disgruntled person, seriously why would you go and ignore what I told you in a pm? do you really think I singled you out? I had to read all of the posts in the thread and have no interest in all that electronics mumbo jumbo unless it happens to one of my car's. I sent you a pm because of what I read and made the best decision I could. You think for a minute that being a moderator is fun? I can tell you are very intelligent and know what you are talking about. I hope when you calm down you give it some thought as to why you got a week suspension
. If I don't do my job as a moderator the place will start to look like yellowbullit.com and that is hardly a place for young people to learn about cars. When I posted about "outside of the box" it was directed at anyone that see's it and should have stopped the namecalling and acting like a bunch of big babies. You brought on the week suspension with your actions and I do hope you understand. As far as some of the members not being able to spell correctly and crappy punctuation goes........you are right but I will say this, it doesnt make you a better person to put down their shortcomings. There are a lot of people in the world that can't read or write but if you are a really smart person you might realize that they are good people and some of them are considered hero's and have saved lives before, reached down to help a fellow man, given of themselves to help those in need and are parents that do the best to get their children the education they might not have gotten. If you don't wan't to come back after the week suspension that is your perogative. I nor the other moderators will tolerate the fighting, namecalling, posting of vulgarity's or pornographic materials or a member ignoring a warning about any actions not deemed appropriate for all ages, races , colors or creed's is that out of line? am I still wrong? You can let me know how ya feel about it. I'm here if you need.
Sincerely..........Wagg's
then final reply back from disgruntled person.....
"If you don't wan't to come back after the week suspension that is your perogative"

Yeah, that's right. I don't want anything further to do with FABO. Go ahead and kick me off permanently. I'm going to get rid of my Mopar.
and then My final reply. Well I guess you have thought this thru and are quite sure of what you want.Thank's for taking it out on me. The people at f.a.b.o. wheather they can spell correctly or not should not have to endure people like you.I am glad I made a good decision on who to send a pm to about behavior,I was worried that I made a bad decision but you have reassured me that I did ok. next time you git yourself in trouble you will know to go look in the mirror....there is the problem. Do Not contact me again till you get your attitude corrected or a more permanent measure will be taken. sorry you feel that way and hope you seek some help. Wagg's
 
Nice job, Waggin', Youshowed the patience of Job. I don't post every day, but I do read almost every day. This forum has taught me more than any book ever could, and I enjoy all the member's input, spelling be damned. I'm almost ready to show all members my garage rebuilt 340 for my numbers matching '70 Swinger 340. I couldn't have done it without this forum. All moderators should hold their heads up with pride for running the best grassroots A body forum on the web. I thank you all. Paul
 
Good job Waggin. I consider myself to be a new guy still, but I have to say that this site is like a family (sometimes a big dysfuntional family). Some people think that they are above everyone else and just don't fit in and are better off not being here. I think that you did the right thing and do a great job. Badart
 
Wow! getting rid of his Mopar….. Well that will sure teach us a lesson.

Honestly…. The line is way out there and easy to see. You need to make an effort to cross it.
 
you handled it really well waggin and to all the mods THANK YOU you are unsung heros of f.a.b.o.
 
Your doing a great job as a Moderator!I was there (in Chat)when this disgruntled member tried his best to verbally attack you and your family.It was very uncalled for and I seen the banning coming even after a warning.We,re better off without his kind anyways.Now about him selling his Mopar,I hope he sells the other 3 with pistol grip shifters he said he has?LMAO!Keep up the good work Waggs!:cheers:
 
The mods are more than fair here.......
You handled the situation very politely and fairly Waggs.
If someone wants to sell his mopar and not return to FABO because it insults his so called intelligence, we don't want that type of immature person on here anyway.
That person is mentally handicapped or has too many issues he needs to deal with.....
Let him hang around with his own kind then, at least he's out of our face.
Did you send him a link to the MENSA site?
He would do well there.
 
Ya dun good!!! Thanks for the service you and the other mods put forth to this website, I've gotten so much from this site in the short time I've been a member, and tried to give at least a little back!!!!

Waggin, would you be so kind as to let "said individual" know that I will purchase his unwanted mopar for a tidy sum of $50.00 (fifty dollars)?
 
you did good waggin. maybe he should get a corvet and then he wont have to hang out with idiots like me. and if i say something stupid i want some body to let me know because i do make mistakes
 
thats why i like it here when on turbo mopar always got flamed for my spelling or wrighting, i work on cars i,m not a school teacher, i wrench on cars , you do a good job> als
 
Wwwwoooooowwww.... childish rant, that. Selling his Mopar so he doesn't have to hang out with Mopar guys? That's like burning down your own house because you're angry at your neighbor. At least his true character is out now. If that's what it takes he was never a true Mopar guy to begin with.

As far as the "superior" attitude because of punctuation and spelling? Tells me he's not actually smart enough to see through the errors and understand the meaning.

I can say, from some of the other boards I've been on, the mods here do a good job. Fairly loose, but with a line in the sand.
 
Many thanks to you Waggin and all the moderators who make this a friendly, family oriented site. I would hate for Nella to come up against this pillar of intellect and be berated for not spelling something right!!!

Send him a thanks for selling his Mopar, he doesn't deserve it anyway!! Then send him a bunch of for sale ads for Toyota and Hyundai's, he's obviously way above us!!! Geof
 
Funny how he's baggin' on people's spelling, but then spells whom "whome." The one's always trying to profess how smart they are, usually aren't. And getting rid of his Mopar because of this forum; absolutely brilliant, another testimony to just how intelligent he is.
 
Must be a coolaid drinking liberal.

Conservatives don't correct other people's grammar, and punctuation, then threaten to sell their Mopar over it.

I don't even know who you are talking about, but sounds like they have alot of growing up to do.
They may not like it now, but you probably gave them the catalyst they needed for self reflection on the road to maturity.
 
I've only been here awhile and have been pretty impressed with the quality of the people on this site.

It sounds to me like this guy has a "victim mentality." I've seen it before, never his fault. It's the fault of the people who couldn't spell. It's the moderators fault he sold his car because they were mean. Seriously, he needs to take responsibility for his actions, and learn from life's little lessons.
 
Sounds like the guy made a good decision to sell his Mopar. If you can't fit in here, you don't deserve one. Sorry guys, but Mama taught me that if you can't say something good, don't say anything, and that's the only good thing I could think of to say about the despicable elitist. Thanks Waggs for making this a better place. Sorry you had to put up with this crap.

Maybe some mental counceling?
 
I'm guessing that since you started this thread that he must have seriously gotten under your skin and from what petty said I suppose he did.What makes you a moderator is the way you handled the situation.As much as you would have wanted to tell this person what you really thought of them you showed restraint and calmness.That is your job and you do it well. We are lucky to have a mod like yourself taking care of FABO.Thanks Waggin.8)





Let me double check the spelling.................
