Thanks ladies, he is taking a forced break, well self-imposed really.

He has been a member here for a while hasn't he? I don't recall him ever being rude or sarcastic or aggressive like that, not that he posted a lot but I've seen him around. I thought about asking him what is going on, did you get any reason from him or just sent him straight to the sin bin? I'm wondering more for future instances. An extra bit of communication is nice but at the same time it's time consuming and meanwhile they are clearly being rude and not following guidelines, not sure if it's worth it. I guess every case is different.
It's nice other members are speaking up and reminding people of the guidelines here, I think it helps a lot, thank you Rock and Erthmum and Utopia.
It is curious when someone like Greg appears to undergo a personality change. Most often this seems to be guys who, for whatever ego reason, decide they have to have a pissing contest, for lack of a nicer way of putting it, with DR and Freelee and just feel compelled to act out like an angry adolescent. Daring someone to call them on their behavior. It doesn't neccessarily follow that they even believe half of what they say. Strange.

what a fascinatingly accurate post and assessment, sultana!
fred massem exhibited this behavior repeatedly - we don't think he knew what he believed!
greg's demonstrated surprising fluctuations recently. these oscillations suggest that he was torn up between his notions of free speech, personal facts and suitable conduct here. some timeout for self-reflection is warranted.
it's great to see this peacekeepers group in action!
it more than equals the thoughtfulness and consideration i've seen by mods on any forum that i can recall being on!!
Greg is persisting, this time more complaints about censorship, which led to my deleting a reply in which he called DR immature. Are we getting close to giving him a time-out?
Man at least 4 of his posts are really rude and sarcastic and disrespectful to other members here. He is just asking to leave.
These are some of his comments below:
"Doug could drink more water for sure."
Now Jr advises Dr G! Is there ANYTHING your not sure of? Look up "sophomoric."
"No, my Discussion from yesterday mysteriously "disappeared" over night. Guess we were getting to close to home for the powers that be."
Yeh, the mystery deleter strikes. Guess if your ideas don't hold water (hehehe), you can always protect them by silencing critics. If your an op that is.
BTW, in case you don't know, there are several other LFRV web sites that were started partly as a response to DR's hyperbole and over bearing "stage persona."
Exactly, I have a problem with certain people, I will not thrive not drinking water, drinking water is a hardship, I continue this topic all over the site, I wave the anti-water flag and I risk being booted. (full of sarcasm)
I'm literally having a sip of Eska spring water at the moment.
