I would welcome Captain Tony. He is like Howard Stern: First you think crass. Uncouth. Over the line. But then you realizing you were laughing at what he writes while thinking the aforementioned.

While I get the moderators point and I am kind of mild-mannered myself , I must say it is outrageously ironic that the followers of a band who are unwanted in so many jurisdictions and leave the area littered with balloons, drink and drug paraphernalia, who evolved from a 1960s' counter culture and are still regarded as freaks would brand a fellow tribe member as OTHER!!! To be shunned like a an excommunicated apostate. . .. Like The Puritans or an ex-Amish.

You, we(me), are now the establishment. The Orthodox. And that's an F-in shame.

While we may have too many guns, we do have Free Speech, unlike Europe and some American College Campuses.

Sure that may seem laughable: Captain Tony vs. The First Amendment. Yet of all the 'communities' for The Good Ole GD community to drum a member out . . ..

Maybe we can create a Tipper Gore emoticon which Captain Tony could post in his thread titles like a movie rating NC-17 for the Furthur member Faint of Heart?

He is not F-in Manson, just a Merry Prankster, Captain Tony.

im sure he is fine. where have all the dudes of life gone, my honey.

are y'all that naive you don't realize he never left?

I always suspected that Captain Tony and Wlewis were the same person. Never saw the 2 of them at the same time in the same place.

I think some of his stuff was funny but sometimes he went to far to make a point at times.(the posting of people with handicaps).
But banning someone is not a good way to go about this.
And like lewis said he never really left. hello tony
Some of the problem is clicks on this and other boards and the sheer desire to control others by stamping out what they have to share. You may not agree with me but its a fact. How hard is it to ignore something posted. If your that sensitive maybe you should ask yourself why?
Im sure i dont know the whole story with the moderator being involved and in whole it makes us look like little kids squabbling over the last pork chop.
My personal belief is as long as no one is threatening to do physical harm towards another than let them have their say and the result will be the person gets tired of no one paying attention to their crap.
Banning someone is what the government does. ARE WE NOT KIND??? guess will find out?

His biggest crime, as far as I am concerned, is being unfunny, at least 99 percent of the time. I actually met the captain and had a brew with he and his crew before a show once. I found him to be a nice guy, seemed genuine. i trust the authorities here on the forum had there reasons. And, yes I am sure he is here on an alt, or at least lurking. Sorry for calling you unfanny dude, nothing personal.

Many of his posts were merely in the thread title so you had no choice weather to read it or not. This has been a long time coming...I would rather read spam than some of those distasteful posts. Although there were times when logic and reason was apparent but far too few and far between. JMO...carry on.

you know what's funny. i was like that dude a lot, then i graduated high school.

The guy just has no filter - at all - never. Whatcha suppressing captain? It's sort of like, if you wouldn't say something in person, don't write it either - is the kind of filter I'm talking about- and that apparently hit too many people the wrong way and he got banned. Now it's time to figure out who the Captain is?

Stricken, you still in Florida? I'm ready to party.

his name is mike coe, i did a short internet search on him, mainly just saw stuff from him on the ABB forum. seems like a music mooch. a few folks here have claimed to have seen and met him. i heard he was handing out LSD at one show.

The guy intentionally bothered people the whole time he was here.

He admitted it and claimed he wouldn't stop.

People asked him several times to just cut back on the BS. Sometimes that would work for a little while but eventually he did what he always did..To many posts at once filled with bs, like a child needing attention or a diaper change. Screw everybody else ME ME ME. Then disappear without much, if any interaction, with the rest, just his multiple posts and to hell with everyone else.

At least he finally did manage to keep it to his own threads.

Its not about censorship, as some like to claim, its about being respectful to the other members.

He failed miserably at that time and time again.
