Invite Midtowner back???

[Patrick]

Hey Premium Members, for those of you who remember Midtowner, we'd like to see what your opinion is of bringing him back to OKCTalk. Let us know your opinion in the poll above.

I have always respected and enjoyed Midtowner's opinions.

I hope wholeheartedly that he comes back...

[mranderson]

No way!

[Shaggy]

No way!

NO WAY!!!
All he did was start arguments with other posters. He was just like Scribe is now. He thinks he knows everything. I hope this is only a poll, and that it doesn't become reality.

In going back to read his posts (before he was banned), it seems to me that he liked to challenge ignorance, "just like Scribe" (wait, that's me!).

[Doug Loudenback]

No way!

Well, MrAnderson, I guess you know we resume our disagreement at this point! While I have my doubts that Midtowner would return to OkcTalk if asked, I would surely love to see him return. And, that you know. He's another who would have come to your defense, don't you know?

I miss everything. I gotta quit working so late. I see ole Shaggy gave us another visit, and had some pleasant conversations with others . Anyway, we are back on topic. Carry on........... I must be getting old..I feel it is already my .

[sweetdaisy]

I always liked Midtowner's input.

I wonder if he'd come back after being "retired"?

[PUGalicious]

Yes way!

[Karried]

Scribe, that is by far the shortest post you have ever made! LOL!

I think you and Midtowner would enjoy each other's posts.... I sincerely hope he returns... he offers some great perspectives. He should be a part of the excitement surrounding the Hornets and all of the great progressive strides being made recently - he was here from the beginning. I've always missed him.

Indeed.

I don't think I was a part of OKCTalk during Midtowner's existence, but I'm all for giving people another try.

So, yes...invite him back.

You don't even know the guy and you want him back? I don't think your vote should count because you don't know what kind of problems he caused on this forum. That's like saying that you didn't know Hitler, but let's give him another chance. Believe me, this MidTowner character had his chances.

Why then, I wonder, would one of the moderators around at the time suggest allowing him to come back? Could it be that he wasn't quite as evil as you want to make him out to be?

He wasn't suggesting, he was asking a question. I never said he was evil, he always challenged others' opinions. He wanted all facts, no opinions, like you. Some people just like to gve their opinions, because they don't have all this time on their hands that you and MidTowner have to "research" every post you make. He ran many good posters off. So, knock yourself out and waste your time reading his posts.

Opinions should be based on facts, as well as beliefs. Ignoring facts simply undermine one's arguments for/against something.

Thanks, I did.

Some of us make time to read and "research" so that we have a factual basis that helps support our educated opinion. If you want to rely on pulling opinions out of your butt with little regard to whether or not there is any accuracy to it is entirely up to you.

Based on your description of him and my reading of his posts, he sounds like a pretty great guy. And there are plenty of veterans that have expressed a sincere desire for him to return.

Hey windowphobe, do you check your PM's?

I need to send you one on another subject that has nothing to do with Midtowner.

[Intrepid]

Well, I guess it's fortunate then that you have no say in what counts and doesn't count. I'm a premium member, just like you. I have the right to vote how I feel, just like you.

And the fact that you don't want him back, really makes me wish that I could pad the "yes" vote J/k

BTW, Hitler? You're comparing someone who posts on a message board to someone who set out to erase an entire group of people, and nearly succeeded? Wow, that's pretty strong stuff there Shaggy. Perhaps you should lay off the scooby snacks???

Uh oh. A war on the verge, we have! Midtowner's "flaw" was returning assinine comments not only a logical reply but with with the same tenacity that was flung his way. That's my opinion, and I'll stick by it.

Another chance? He should be offered an apology and an invitation, since that's the "zone" you are wanting to venture into. That said, I think that he's probably at peace not having to deal with the crap which was thrown his way, and the crap throwers know who they are.

That's probably what offended those that don't want him back. They like to spout off their opinions/comments and then when challenged they come back with "Oh yeah? Well you're ugly" type comments.

Oooooo.... Midtowner sounds like a bad, baaaaaad man.

[PUGalicious]

Uh oh. Someone has violated TOS... using all caps in his post... something he pointed out to another poster in another thread. Tsk, tsk, tsk. We must practice what we preach.

Excuse me? If you will go back and read the TOS, the all caps rule is in the Nose Bleed Section only. You should know, because you have been a major violator. I really don't think you have ever read the TOS, you are just spouting. Plus, this is about Midtowner, not caps. Please don't hijack the thread.

Not only have I read the TOS, but when I was a moderator, I helped write some of the TOS, especially for that which is in the Nose Bleed Section.

And, in re-reading the rules specifically in the Nose Bleed Section, it does not reference the usage of ALL CAPS other than in post titles.

But thanks for keeping track of my violations, Sheriff Shaggy. I'm sure the mods appreciate your help, especially since they don't seem to notice or care enough to mention it. Hmmm, I wonder why that is... perhaps because you're the only one that sees it as a violation. Sometimes the truth hurts and feels like being violated.
