Johnny has fallen from the top of HornSports Plaza.

Merry Christmas.

Hmm.  I know I am not in the majority here but why would he get the boot just because he doesnt conform to the majority opinion?  Doesnt seem right, forums should be able to express your opinion no matter how unpopular.  Dont we have enough censoring in the social media as it is?  Yea I had him blocked and I never agreed with him but he should be able to say what he wants regarding the program.  Treading a dangerous path here.

I was booted off BON for simply stating Texas should start Foreman over J Gray.  This was before Foreman was a stud.  I was flamed to no end and some mod banned me for that.  I shit you not.  I do take solace knowing I was right, look how it turned out but it doesnt seem right.

I wish i had the email sent said something like "you are now banned enjoy".  NFG but sometimes forums seem to be like echo chambers rather than debates and ideas

I basically agree with DMAC

I did not agree with Johnny Depp but I don't think he should be banned.  I just passed over his posts, therefore he did not bother me in the least.  There will be just another idiot come to take his place.

I think healthy debate here is a good thing and I don't think anyone has an issue with an opposing view point.

With JD, he was not bringing about healthy debate. Just continually posting the some non-sense over and over and then refusing to actually discuss the material he brought to the board when someone called him out on it. 

I don't think it was ever anything egregious but time after time after time of the same stuff was enough to get him banned.

I dont disagree regarding his nonsense im only saying each person here should make that decision with an ignore list option rather than a top down ban.  I always thought he was a troll but i just ignored him.  I dont think he should have been banned for it though.  People like him will usually leave on their own if people just ignore them.

Whats that old saying "I do not agree with you but I will defend your right to say it"

I guess its the "let the marketplace determine its viability rather than the government" in me.  But maybe he did other things im not aware of since I all i ever saw was "You have chosen to ignore this user" ?
