Why do you care what wakeup thinks?Well..... for one... what makes you think we haven't? What makes you think we haven't pointed him/Warned him or pointed him only to have them reversed? Things that are not known because they are not apparent to the average member. We (Mods) do not make decisions on how to run the board. We are members just like anyone else with just a few extra responsibilities in regards to helping enforce and apply the rules. The interpretation of the rules is not up to us alone, and in fact we are merely one of the first lines of interpretation... we adhere to, and follow the interpretations of said rules/guidelines that the admins and owners give us and show how they want us to interpret them. That's all. Apparently the owners have no issues with Hobbyist calling Providers "Whores" and some of the other things you personally (and many others I might add) find to be offensive... that is not on the Mod staff to place judgement on I'm afraid....
One mans opinion that others probably agree with........wakeup is a textbook internet bully that is out of control and the mods don't give a shit. Because he's 'wakeup', he's given way too much leniency with this conduct on this board. I'm sick and tired of him calling the ladies 'whores', etc.
Why the mods don't send him a pm stating something like 'enough is enough with the attitude' is beyond me.
In all due respect to the mods, if you're thinking about sending me a pm, forget it, I've wanted to post this for years and you won't change my mind. Like I said, it's one mans opinion.
So just put him on ignore, he ain't shit around here, but then again, neither am I. However I try to add to the board, not take away from it. Originally Posted by DEAR_JOHN

So I guess we can take from this that, WU's protests to the contrary, he IS in fact protected from on high, by the Prince of Darkness himself. Good to know.
The underlying feeling that I get and the trend I see from admins and ownership, is the want for unfiltered freedom of speech in most regards so long as they adhere to the guidelines. Opinions are wanted and welcomed, even unfavorable ones at times..... Your opinion of WU and others like him is more than welcome, just as his opinions on things are generally welcomed as well.... From what I gather, from the owners perspective you can't have one without having the other......
Hope that helps.....
P.S.
for the record.... you can trust me when I say that there isn't a Mod on this board who isn't waiting in line to be the one to ban Wakeup..... Myself and ALL of the Houston Mods included.....You can absolutely take that to the bank. Originally Posted by Jusanotherdude

Sarunga - The reason why I put him separate is because he is not your typical flamer. He backs up his words with links, facts, and is very good at using the rules against you to the point that he comes out clean and you go over the edge. By all means, ignore him, if you feel that is the right decision. In you prefer, call him out if you can. Just be prepared when you do. He had a separate section because most can not seem to ignore him AND the vast majority that decide to go head to head with him get destroyed because they do not think before they post. Ironically, you seem to post after Wakeup in many threads and have yet to be effective in "shutting him down with facts". Based in that alone, I would recommend either to ignore him or change your tactics as your current ones do not seem to phase him in the least. I hope that clarifies for you sir.
