As an aside, wiley90 has been bannerized.

edit: Hrm, this could use some extra words. The difference between him being banned and me getting banned is that obviously this wiley90 person is just here to screw around and piss people off - a genuine troll. As for me, I am here because I love my Fiero and I love talking about things. I am not a troll, I don't like pissing people off. I genuinely like helping people and setting things straight. Unfortunately some people are dead set in their ways, which to me can be harmful to them, so I try to talk people out of it. And as a result, I get a few negs here and there.

However, never before in my time have I ever seen such a blatant, obvious abuse of the system, that has gone unnoticed. I cannot even begin to express how much it annoys me that my ratings have not been brought up as fraud by anyone. I would have made my own topic however I'm afraid of every little move I make that it might send me over the bannerization edge by someone (*heh* right) that didn't like my words or attention. So I just have to sit here and watch the blaring red, knowing that there are many *real* people that actually do like me.

I do notice, however, that pretty much any time I interact with Cliff as far as helping him with PIP or providing an alternative that I poured heart and soul into, I get more negatives. Is it a coincidence? *shrug* Watch as I gain more negatives by mentioning this interaction...

Is that acceptable for you guys?

Ah, Falcon, I think you just had a rough time getting the "feel" for the forum. You're basically a good guy (for a Windows dude )
We have agreed and disagreed but you bring up good points and try to help people. Trying to help is all that really matters in this world. We don't need people on this forum who are abusive and name callers (I've seen Falcon's language getting cleaner), etc. I have never given a neg, watch out when I do it will really be a doozie.

How about some of you guys that have given Falcon4 a neg look into your heart and see if maybe a neutral (or even a plus) would be better. He's a good kid and deserves a second chance on his bar.

As for this other dude, let's all just watch out and see if he comes around (oh, been banned, OK).

One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is when to back off

I'm twice your age, it took me awhile to figure out too.
