    He has no business posting a lot of the things he posts.

    Hopefully he doesn't show up at Firestone with a shotgun :ugh:

    Just because he annoys you posting them - does not mean that he has no business posting.

    I seriously think that Taras is just trying to fit in here for some reason, so he genuinely cares about every subject that is being discussed here, or sometimes brings stuff along from other places. I just don't see another explanation, if he didn't care he'd left to some other forum by now, after all the crap he's getting in responce. So I think he does not deserve all that hate.

    And I don't think Taras is bad for the forum. It gives certain members a sense of unity :laugh:, and probably an extra topic to talk about. As for quality of conversation changing - that's not Taras's fault, he's usually not the first to resort to swearing/hate speach, and if anyone seriously cares about quality of conversation on this forum - it could definitely use a lot of moderation without Taras.

    Really? That is just one example. The kid is an ignorant prick more than not.

    He sure is trying to "fit in" with these comments.

    edit:
    This thread has served it's purpose, it can be locked, deleted, archived for all I care.

    Good riddance. I say we keep him gone. I'm tired of him lowering the collective IQ every time he sees something shiny or hears some inane crap on MPR.

    Dude, its totally unbiased though--you should give it a chance, and expand your mind.

    that has to be something retarded that taras would bring up. wait, thats it... he gave morons hope! I'd say lift it in a week, let us tear him a new one, then when he flips it would be legit to perma-ban him

    mpr rocks.

    even if you're the type that believes that mpr/npr is an out and out commie/socialist news outlet they cover such a wide array of topics and both sides of a topic, that at best, any bias is completely subvert.

    If someone can offer me an alternative news source that isn't completely and overtly rightwing (rush limbal) or overtly left wing (air america), I'd be glad to check it out. But thus far, there isn't really any substitute that I know of.

    Sorry, didn't get all the sarcasm in that one. I also listen to MPR to get additional perspective on issues as well. I was referring more to the fact that Taras happens to hear one thing but doesn't bother to do any supporting research or additional reading/listening to anything else, and also Dan and I were having some fun with his earlier "They're totally unbiased" comment.

    Cut him a break, sheesh. He has obviously been misunderstood, I've met Taras a few times and he is definitely a cool dude, why treat another member like trash? I didn't read any outright insults from Taras until everyone backed him into the corner and pushed it. Who cares if his opinion is radically different from yours, thats not reason enough to start flaming the crap outta him.

    Like hell he's been misunderstood. His last few posts have been pretty clear. That shot he took at Tom was one of the lowest blows I've ever seen anyone take on this board, and his backpedaling didn't fool anyone. He's been either condescending or clueless on here with no middle ground to be found. We didn't paint him into a corner, he did that to himself.

    He came out of nowhere with the evil nursing home thing. And nobody pushed him to make his comment about Dan's college education. His opinion can be as radically different as he wants it to be...but when he condescends people for their opinions and views, then he can DIAF. I cut him several breaks early on at the request of Aegis. After a few of his nasty, opinionated and down the nose comments, I decided to go with my intuition and not like him. Regardless of whether his beliefs or mine intersect isn't the issue. Tons of people come to my house regularly with tons of different viewpoints. And we can all discuss those points openly and in a friendly manner without demeaning eachother for thinking differently. Taras cannot. I don't care what he is like in person because that is the weakest argument ever. If you can't be consistant in person and online, then you have no business communicating with anyone. My opinion on that situation stands across the board, which is why I'm glad Se7enWRX is gone. He's cool in person...great, he's a crybaby and a silver spoon apologist online. If Taras wants people to cut him a break, he can start by cutting the attention starved generalizing of people and the narrow viewed condescending of other people's opinions on MNSubaru. If he can't do that, then good ****ing riddance.
