Josh,This is a great place.Stay focused and keep up the good work.

[JimKshortstep4x4]

Josh,

You have created one of the best sites on the web and it is run for the benefit of members who really appreciate your efforts. It is really sad in a way that PJ spends so much of his time trying to bring a great person down.

Please know that we support you and your efforts.

Jim

Josh in one ear out the other is what I tell my kids when dealing with a immature trouble maker, and the delete button works well on emails from annoyances such as this as well as blocking the email address. Replying to such emails generally only brings further responses from them and is like banging your head on a wall the only thing your replies will gain you is the same thing banging your head againest the wall does another headache , shun & ignore seems to work best with this type of problem. The boards great and I recommend it to everyone!!!!!!!

THIS IS JUST MY $0.02 IMO

YOU HAVE TO GIVE RESPECT TO EARN IT, IF YOUR NOT GOING TO RESPECT ME
I'M SURE AS HELL NOT GOING TO RESPECT YOU, IMO OPINION "J" HAS EARNED
EVERY PENNY WITH INTEREST AND COULD RETIRE A MILLIONARE BY NOW.

THIS BOARD ROCKS, & YOU ARE THE MAN, DON'T FORGET THAT, MY .45 ACP SAYS SO :p

[teeitup]

Hang in there Josh, this is a GREAT board, I'm on it 4-5 times a day for hours according to my wife Just delete his emails, I've dealt and met with guys like him, he's not worth the time worring about.

[TugOwar]

Just my $0.02 here for what it's worth:

I call people who act like this Attention Whores. They live for and thrive on the attention. The quickest way to get attention is to keep sh!t stirred up. Don't give them what they crave and they will get bored and go away.

They are also childlike. Their goal is to draw you into an argument. Once you start to argue with a child you've lost the battle.

You've already made your case to this guy probably countless times. Don't keep trying to explain to him why the rules are what they are. You are Admin and it's your site to run as you see fit. He knows that, he just can't/won't admit it!

If you have a new member join and start making trouble and you are sure it is him, ban him without explaination. Keep a record of all his user names and IPs. If you're not sure it's him then a one time referral to the rules is appropriate, with no further explaination.

Like Paul said, delete e-mails and Pms from this guy after you save a copy and do not reply. A reply continues the arguement and gives him the attention he so desperately craves.

Josh, some people need to grow up...maybe he is jealous of your site. Anyway I check in every morning and at 40 years old I don't think I'm a kid, and I pick up answers and useful info off this board all the time. Keep up the good work.
Later, Gord

[Hook'em]

Thanks Josh for this site. I inhertied my Dad's '71 and this is my only information on how to keep it running.

Jerks like this don't waste their time with small, insignificant websites. Every good site on the net periodically has to deal with someone like him. Its unfortunate, but apparently the price we must pay for the ability to share such great information and comradary.

[Warbones]

Some people have no real power in everyday life. What he is doing is a perfect example of someone trying to obtain some. This is the only way they can even come close. He thinks he is the one pushing buttons...the cold hard fact is that every single time he comes here and tries to stir sh!t or feels the need to respond to someones post ....his have already been pushed. Still reminds me of those bullys in school. Trying to find something to smile about. Pathetic. Now who is this parts suplier???

Josh, I can't add much than what's already been said by so many others. You have our confidence and support, and we appreciate very much what you do to keep this board going. With PJ's arrogance and immaturity, I find it very difficult to believe any of his stories of vast wealth etc - at this point I'm thinking he's probably just some poor uneducated slob with a computer and no life, and stirring up trouble is his only activity. Hang in there and hopefully he'll get tired of it all and go away for good. We should be so lucky.

Thats so true. I remember him always bragging of wealth and his fancy garage. The reality is most people who feel they have to brag usually do not have any of these things and go way into debt to impress people.

He's just an old bored man whos jealous of Josh's youth

[Mudder]

Its all already been said kids.........

[Cethern]

For Me being new around here I have seen nothing but good advice, Or good Ideas to help solve some of the many problems we have with these old rides.

The loss of someone that thinks it's funny to Harrass anyone is no Loss.


Josh I'm sure you know that you have started one of the Top Chevy sites on the web. You have every right to do with this site has you see the need to do. And as you can see from the other posts you have the support of the Members.

Oooohh, ok. (Light comes on) I remember fast68. That's been a while back, probably 2 years since he got banned under that name. When Josh said "his board", I thought he meant that he owned his own board, but I remember enough about fast68 to know that's not true.

[supercheyenne]

Phelepe Johnson. Man, what a blasst from the past.


Keep up the awesome work Josh. Better hope I don't find out which "well known parts dealer" is in cahoots with him. I'll start a blacklist...............

[formerfordguy]

Tell him to blow it out his a you get the point. Im in Colorado City we are just about neighbors .any way keep up the good work and above all else have fun with this I love this board I check it everyday and have learned quite a bit

[Shane]

Reminds me of the spoiled rotten kid in the neighborhood. He wants to call other kids names such as STUPID and MORON when things don't go "his way." But as soon as the other kids do the same to him he goes home crying & pouting.

Once he realizes that the rest of the neighborhood kids are having fun without him and could care less whether he plays or not, he decides he wants to re-join "the group." He then realizes that the other kids will have nothing to do with him now that he has shown his "true colors," so he stands in his own yard, all alone and yells insults across the fence.

Must suck to have that big ol' yard and all those toys and have nowhere to brag about them anymore.

[jamie72]

man, i coud`nt stand that guy.
it seems he is upset that the board don`t need him.
josh you got all our support, and if you need anything to help with this prolbem let us know.

[Canadian694x4]

Josh, sorry to hear your still having to deal with this guy. This is a great site, and for me the only site I wish to be a member. Everything I was looking for and then some in the info department on 67-72 trucks I was able to find here.

I know it's hard to ignore someone who is harassing you but it prolly is in your best interest to not respond to his threats. Gmc Paul prolly said it best. I hate to think about the added stress this guy is causing you.

You have my support.

Brian

[Budweis]

i would ban by ip like they said. but he still may have different ips like work and such so still may be hard. if it was me i'd ban his associates as well no matter who they are. lol 305 vette

I did ignore him for well over a year, (I generally had a good laugh reading them all ) but showing him out in public like this was the only way I could get people to keep an eye out for him. I have now banned every account he has/had on this forum thanks to anonymous tips from people. I am continuing to ignore his emails, and he claims he will not be back but only time shall see. Reading his posts from all his accounts, he actually uses them to reply to himself.... In the end this post did what I wanted, got all his aliases out in the open, and allowed me to effectively get him to leave the site...


Thanks for the support everyone

[Josh]

His ISP has too many diff IPs to ban, if he persists I will eventually get him removed from the ISP
