johnnydoom I had no problem with him at all. He stayed in the threads he was interested in and posted mostly about stuff that doesn’t have clear cut solutions. I don’t mind someone challenging my perspective even if I don’t think theirs is right either. Thought it was a shame that he was relegated to invisible folders.

I didn't either. I'll admit I didn't see everything, but he never seemed to be a prick or a troll. He has some viewpoints that are out of the norm and he apparently likes to debate them. I'm fine with that. My impression of him is as an earnest guy who basically means well.

    The poster in question was found to have multiple accounts under the same IP. That in itself gets a ban. But yeah the other stuff too.

    He was actually nice when I messaged with him - but too much pot stirring for this place. I hope he finds somewhere where he can enjoy his debates. That's not what the Buzz is intended for.

      Was he anybody besides CPFitness? And was he the original CPFitness way back when?

        He wasn't the original CPFitness, I knew him (Dave) pretty well. Long time customer.

        Why Toulon decided to take up that user name for his crusade I'll never know.

            ValueGolf He wasn't the original CPFitness, I knew him (Dave) pretty well. Long time customer.

            I didn't think so, didn't write in the same manner, though both came to sorry ends I believe.

              johnnydoom Pretty much this, but I have very little interest in challenging someone outside of work, where I may get paid for that behavior.

                I can see why/how certain members either got banned or a temporary time out...
                But Klevin...... was a bit of a head scratcher for me, sometimes he acted like a total troll...sometimes not.
                He would even start a thread in the WH folder, and be the only poster in the thread with multiple reply's.WEIRD
                And then he could respond to a thread in a totally logical way and stay on topic with some pertinent/useful info.
                He did that a few times in some of the threads that I/others started.

                My take in all of this is, some people take this cyber stuff WAY TOO SERIOUSLY!!
                You read through enough posts and it's pretty easy to see who gets their butts hurt when you have
                a different point of view than theirs, be it a political belief or whatever.
                A troll or contrarian can see this and they pounce on the opportunity to push so and so's buttons...
                Then all hell breaks loose, things can sometimes get personal with name calling attacks, threats etc.
                The troll probably sits at his keyboard laughing his ass off, while the recipient on the other end slowly
                gets his blood boiling.
                Next thing you know, another locked thread....@jrock must be running low on padlocks lately.😮

                I'm not saying some need thicker skin around here, (though it helps) but this is GOLBUZZ!
