I myself have not read SPM (T28) thread nor have I read the info concerning steve's 911 relatives debate.
The issue is that one side CAN NOT play the good guy and try to eliminate the other via a
uniform ignore team effort while at the same time debating with
others about it.
Simply,
only someone in between (neutral) that hasn't been involved in the debates, that hasn't posted instigating commentary to pssst off one side or the other...
Only that someone can request a uniform ignore team effort against ALL SIDES...
Not choosing a particular side only of the
Jack Hershey & Gang versus Trader28 & Gang versus Steve46 & Gang mess.
* All sides are guilty of posting the same repetitive messages over and over again.
* All sides are guilty of posting taunting or instigating replies that encourages the other side to mudsling back.
* All sides uses profanity lace messages at one time or another.
In fact, the key participants has either been banned at least once or warned about being banned if they continue by at least one moderator and Baron himself.
* All sides enter threads that has nothing to do with this big mudslinging eyesore and then throw in a few back stabbing commentaries to bait or attract the other side to show up and defend themselves.
* All sides violates several areas of ET's TOU policy.
Simply, this is not just my opinion...ET management also has seen the problem.

Think about it carefully about the
general facts I mentioned above.
If you all still don't get it about this vicious cycle...
Here's a simple analogy of chaos that will occur (has occurred) when the following happens:
Bank Robbers announce they don't like the behavior of the Home Burglars, Home Burglars announce they don't like the behavior of the Car Thefts and the Car Thefts don't like the behavior of the Bank Robbers...
Then when they get bored with each other a few days or leave each other alone for a few days...
They spend their time going after the ET sponsors.
It's crazy.
Therefore, I have officially removed my name from the uniform ignore team effort against Trader28 due to the following facts...
The other guys are still doing what they do (arguing, debating and repeating the same messages with others) here at ET and at other locations.
Thus, for me to sit here and point a finger at one and not the other is saying the other has done nothing wrong.
However, if the
3 amigos and their main gang members makes a public announcement via pledging to clean up their own behavior, promising not to talk about the other (directly or indirectly), promising not to violate ET's TOU policy along with a
public apology to the ET community...
In my opinion, that's when we will know that they truly want this crap to end.
I won't hold my breath waiting for the above to occur.
Without the pledge, promise and apology above...
This will NEVER end and the uniform ignore team is just another
clandestine method of mudslinging.
Last of all, Baron and the moderators are at fault here for allowing this crap to go on for so many years when they could have put their foot up the butts of those involved when it all first started...
Banning someone and then allowing them to return or warning them they will be banned and taking no action when they continue violating the TOU policy is the wrong message to send...
In regards to the early stages of this mess.
That's exactly what ET management did.
