What if...


Since people haven't been exactly falling over themselves volunteering to host this board, maybe we should leave it up after all.


I haven't spoken with Scott about it yet, but I'm certain we would have some changes made.


I don't mind debate and confrontation.


It takes a LOT to get our ire up, as some of you know...


So I think that we'd have to have sole "say" over whether or not someone gets banned (as Ted and Matt would STAY banned) and/or posts get deleted.


It really became a pain in the ass to remain literally true to the "Free Speech" title.


If those were the conditions, do you guys feel it would be beneficial to leave the forum up?

Keep the board up.

Let Doty spew his trash-"un ban" him.

And each post of his gets one and only one response cut and pasted in reply nothing more....nothing less:

••••••••••••••••••••••••••
06/13/04 - Posted from the Daily Record newsroom
Christ Church supporter glad he 'struck a chord'

By Rob Jennings, Daily Record
…..50-year-old onetime mayoral candidate relishes his contentious persona.....

…..Doty, among the few in the township to publicly embrace Montclair-based Christ Church's proposed 3,000-seat sanctuary and private K-5 school on Green Pond Road, isn't shy about dishing it out as well……

…..For one involved in so many public spats, Doty has a decidedly non-combative job, working as a greeter at the Lowe's home improvement warehouse in Mount Olive.

"I was the guy who said, 'No, you can't afford this.' Now I can stand at a door and someone will pay me to say 'hi' to people. It's fun," Doty said.

Doty was involved in one of his first skirmishes in 1997. Shortly after winning a school board seat by campaigning against a $17 million school bond referendum, Doty was censured over a disagreement with a board employee.

Doty ran for mayor as a Democrat in 1999, losing to John Inglesino in a campaign marked by the challenger's admission to having once written newspaper letters critical of Inglesino under a false name.

Five years later, Inglesino still was not amused by the letter-writing tactic, which Doty whimsically defended by noting that the author of "Tom Sawyer" used a pseudonym.

"He tried throwing as much mud as he could, hoping something would stick," Inglesino recalled. "He really lacked any kind of credibility."

Doty's next confrontation was in 2002, when he filed ethics complaints against four school board members after failing to win back his old seat. The complaint, which alleged improper influence by the teacher's union, was dismissed a year later……

You know Mark, that is a excellent idea. But would it work? The impulse to bash the keyboard in response to his drivel is pretty strong.

Monster-
Self control is a tough thing to master, especially with such an emotion filled topic.

I had been pulled into things by both hom and Matthew...who wasn't??

Ted's single skill is being able to push people's buttons.

Misery loves company.

I wonder what Craig would say.
