Apparently I am the worst thing to ever have graced the Internet. I would just like to gauge public opinion on the matter, and I'm not doing this to prove a point to mods or not, I would just genuinely like to know that when it comes to the crunch, how many people would you rather have KJ with me or without me.

Please answer honestly.

I voted yes....but it doesn't really matter cause it's not going to change you. You are who you are.

I'm largely against any and all bans, yours included, unless it's well-deserved. And while you've used hateful, or abusive language against forums members in the past on these boards, that really doesn't strike me, personally, as ban-worthy.

We're all well into adulthood now and hopefully mature, or self-sufficient, enough that verbal insults, over the internet, are inconsequential. Especially considering nearly everyone here is familiar with one another after many years together. And if letters on a screen still bothers one in some way, why not utilize the board's ignore feature?

I do think you should be banned for your incessant bullying of Libs. But besides that, you are fine. No personal quarrels.

Your love for Stallone explains everything. So no.

Hell no

No way. I like to have a scuffle now and then with him. Besides, I can be called whatever you want and I simply don't care. People have to learn to care less about what an Internet stranger says about them and grow a thicker skin.

I don't like banning period, so the personal preference is no. If I or my colleagues feel are are to far over the line, it will be a yes.

But the "grow a ticker skin" comments are sad/amusing reminders of what is wrong with society.

No. I do not always condone what you say*, but I do not need to. You are you, and you are a colorful, engaging, often very striking member with a more diverse and intelligent interest in film than most here.

*This refers to your use of certain epithets rather than your "feud" with Libs, which I believe she blows a tad out of proportion. Particularly for a person who spends so much time knee deep in a sea of wig-snatching camp bluster and vitriol at the AwardsWatch forum. She should just snap her fingers and say, "Please, sista" when you give her crap.

Nicely put - agreed.

I like Algren.

I voted no, WOKJ needs all the traffic it can get. I would bring back some controversial members like Joe if I could too

Fortunately, you cannot.

two years ago I would have said yes

no

NO

Hell yes.....just for the fun and the drama!

No

I don't see how having a thicker skin is anything but good for people.

It is because Dr. Lecter took a psychology course so now he thinks he is a fully fledged psychologist that knows stuff that simpletons like us just wouldn't understand.

I will have taken like 8 or 9 psych courses by the time I finish school. Guess that makes me the best psychologist in the world!

Not in favor of banning, but the fact that it is mentioned should give Algren pause that maybe he shouldn't be such an asshole all the time.

Not that it will, just that it should.

In the case of this thread, it was Algren himself who mentioned it.

Well, that's one of the reasons I didn't answer the poll itself. He's just begging for attention as always

Algren the attention whore? Noooo lol
