"Mark my words. Frankly I don't give a crap who ignores me...I consider it a compliment. But when you block out all opposing opinions it becomes one big circle jerk and that's no fun either. Opposing opinions are what stimulate conversation. Good luck"

The irony of your post is almost palpable.
You state you don't give a crap who ignores you yet you consider it a compliment. You state that when opposing opinions are "blocked out" it is a circle jerk and that isn't fun.

Opposing Opinions do stimulate conversation. Did you ever, for a even a moment, stop to think that perhaps it isn't the opinions you express that have led to you feeling the need to make this statement? In other words it may not be your opinions that are being blocked if they are.
Don't you see the variety of opinions that are expressed here, on a daily basis, in spirited conversation by people who don't agree...and yet they find common ground when they can, and even get together to socialize? This is at the core of this entire board. The ignore button will not be the downfall of this board, not in a million years.
It isn't used enough to make a tinkers damn in the life of this board.
Perhaps you need to look elsewhere for the answers to the questions you seem to have. I hope you do and I hope you find those answers. Frankly in recent months it is my opinion that you have intentionally shifted into the role of a troll. You seem hell bent on driving people to use that button or simply not take the bait when you send it by.
You can't play the troll role and post a few nice pics of Tahoe now and then and expect people to ignore the former due to the latter.
You have, quite literally, created your own self fulfilling proficy.
Really, Greg...think about it. The answers you seek lie elsewhere, and I would bet that most of us hope you find them. I've been on these boards at least as long as you have, and while we are polar opposites in our belief systems and the way we conduct ourselves here in public, I wish you nothing but good luck. There are a veritable plethora of opinions shared here, daily. Yours is just one....like mine...just one.
All the best, and good luck to you too. I hope Folsom stays full for you and your family and friends all summer.

460 said it before. He won't ban him cause it's a headache to keep him from using all those other names and ip addresses etc. Or whatever it is that he does to get back in here. [emoji202]

The funny thing is in the last 5 years or so I've been banned probably 30+ times and only once did I sign up with a fictitious account and I made it pretty obvious it was me.

I'd like to say that I'm some internet wizard but I'm not. And thank you very much for asking about my Dad and Kate. My Dad is 77 and trucking along after his heart surgery and Kate is probably 90% healed. It's been almost a year since her accident and she still has pain but I'm hoping the paddle board will help that once the weather gets a little nicer.

Back in the day we called them "paste eaters". They did whatever it took to get the attention of the teacher. Without attention they were nothing, hopeless, uninteresting, and very weak people.

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject

For the record, I have BSEE and BS-Physics- Syracuse, and Ph.D in Applied Physics - Cornell.

...I am very impressed with your level of education...I didn’t get that far or anywhere close with my college studies...I hang with some very educated...or if not educated very smart and well read people...Doctrates...PHD’s...and so on down the line...to dropouts who more than likely might be able out think/reason any of us...my last girlfriend has an IQ of 167...She did a masterful job of outsmarting me???...
...Not one of these people has been able to direct me in a particular matter...So here we go...

...”Do you have any idea where the remote for my TV might be???”...

The ignore button is a blessing, you can’t fix stupid but you can block it lol

Letting you back in here "probably 30+ times" will, in all likelihood, contribute to "the death of RDP" more than the ignore button

And posting the same old threads about CA gets you moved to the P & G. :p

Let's hope he can paint vertical lines when they cross over from the hull to the deck.

Can't speak for GC but I suspect he draws the line on spraying dildo designs on closed bow hulls.

This speaks volumes.

You think half of RDP has banned you?
A) don’t flatter yourself.
B) what’s the common denominator there?

Imagine if you're able --- Grads starts a fishing thread and it quietly slips off page one, without a single reply. :(

That's how you render the Grads of this world irrelevant, no blocking required, just a little self control, bolstered by the pain you know you're inflicting :D

But alas, as much as that thought pleases me, I'm not going to hold my breath, because as we all know, it's almost impossible to walk past a punching bag and not take a swing :)
You have no idea how many times i have said this and people still respond to him...it's in height of insanity.

Pretty well said..

Truth be told I like Greg.. I’m not sure why he goes out of his way to make random people on the internet not like him. It’s weird to me.. especially given the small amount of people in this niche of powerboating. Everyone is tied to everyone in two degrees of separation somehow..

What did I miss? I've been off the internet all weekend celebrating my Irish heritage (that doesn't really exist).

I have never used the ignore button. I always thought it was a myth. LOL.

So, I'm going to jump on the "banned" wagon here and put grads on ignore. After some of his recent posts it is clear that he is nothing but a troll and does not want to engage in an intelligent, adult like debate over issues and would rather just toss out stupid remark to incite angered replies.

I believe he has a mental problem and a maturity level of a thirteen year old. He just wants to disrupt things like the goofy kid in class. In my opinion, he should be banned as he goes completely against RD's "Be nice or leave" statement for this site, but that is RD's call.

Some say that he is just having fun. Well, his fun is starting to come at the expense of others and I find that detrimental to this site as well as being extremely hypocritical, but then that's what we have come to expect from liberals.

So I'm hitting the ignore button. You have posted some good interesting threads but unfortunately the bad ones out weigh the good. Your negativity and hatred is just putting a big dark cloud on RDP, is totally unnecessary and uncalled for.

I have refrained from attacking you in the past as I thought someday we might meet up on the lake and I'd get to know you off the boards as some have said you are a different person. I try to conduct myself with honesty, integrity and decency in everything I do. I am now of the opinion that you are not of the character of someone that I would like to associate with so because of that, I'm out.
