I feel kind of bad that our Toby couldn't handle a bit of criticism, a little guilty that it was probably my words that chased him away. I kind of enjoyed the guy when he wasn't harassing Quicksilver. He was correct that he was a "colorfull character", but unfortunately lacked self control. Oh well, can't control other people!

What happened? I enjoy TT, and have been wondering where he has been.

If he's really gone, can I move into his room?

I didn't enjoy being harassed.... and goaded into defending myself...I finally feel safe posting my opinion and debating.... you want him back? I'm gone..

I know people will tell me that I should have ignored him and not taken the bait when he constantly insulted me and called me names... It's easy for people to say that when they are not the target... it's not so easy when you are.... I'm telling you all... I will LEAVE if that creep comes back.. so actually robusta I want to thank you for bringing it all to a head and getting rid of him.

Then let's hope he doesn't come back.... he was making my participation quite unenjoyable... and even if I ignored him... it would still be difficult to continue to participate...

It's easy for people to say that when they are not the target... it's not so easy when you are... Toby has taken quite a few swipes at me and I just brush them all off and take them with a grain of salt. I'm here to have some fun and maybe learn a thing or two by listening to all the different viewpoints people have. My job as an admin comes in at a very distant second. I don't like playing God and have never asserted my position as an admin EVER in all the years and places I've been at. I don't let things rile me. It really takes a lot to get my feathers ruffled, especially online. After all, it is just the internet and a place for me to come to and relax and hopefully meet some intelligent people such as the ones we have here and enjoy a good convo or debate.

I just ignored what he say.... sometime he make no sense at all.... Sanders lost... way lost but he act like it was some sort of conspiracy.... silly.... and it got worse and worse and dominated almost every converstation.... yes I can understand how annoying that could be

It is not that easy for me..... It made my participation here difficult.. I am much happier with him gone.. If he comes back.. and you control him I will stay... if you don't... I'll go... Just ignoring him is not an option.. not when being called names like "Old bat"... "miserable old cow" and worse... It makes my participation uncomfortable and I'm too old to put up with that crap.. I tried fighting back.. but was lumped into a false equivalency with him.. . No more... I refuse to put up with it.

I had reached out privately to him to say in essence, "Dude, why are you being such an asshol#?" It didn't do any good. I tried to tell him he'd be taken more seriously if he wasn't so nasty to folks who disagreed with him.

I truly believe we are better off without him.. and that's unfortunate.. because he did have a different point of view.. that was interesting and valid.. it's just that he would not allow anyone else to express their opinion without being insulting and resorting to personal attacks.. He is just a nasty guy IMO...
