The sudden demise of Fred Z was not greatly exaggerated.

[pefjr]

Demise meaning banning, don't want to shake anyone up. Was it from too much garlic? I am eating a lot of garlic lately for arthritis, don't want to lose it like Fred did. There must be an easier way to purge your posts, maybe shoulda called Governor Scott.

[Donn]

He managed to get his count down to 20.

[Phillip Allen]

unlike most bannings, I witnessed this one... he's been on a tear for some reason...

[BrianW]

I understand he's running around in a white Miata, topless and bra-less, and having a great time!

[Canoeyawl]

If I have it right, he has had a run of pretty tough luck these last few years, yet carried on admirably through it all.
He has made it pretty clear that he didn't want to leave a written record here. Why not respect his wishes? Or is it more entertaining to tease him?

It would have been easy enough to go back and delete the quoted posts, and won the thanks of a good man.

Well said.

I'm sorry to see he's not around

[Minnesnowtan]

Big whoop de dooo

[TomF]

Yeah, it IS kinda a big whoop de doo, when a fixture of this place gets banned. I didn't see the event, but he's good people. I'll miss him.

[Vince Brennan]

Big whoop de dooo

A damn sight more folks will miss Fred than would ever miss you and your ilk, troll.

[SaltyD from BC]

He managed to get his count down to 20.

And you managed to rat him out and get him banned.

[elf]

Fred is alive and well on Facebook.

[pefjr]

It was a suicidal affair, very shocking. He got himself banned, so that his posts would be deleted????

[Donn]

And you managed to rat him out and get him banned.

You could be next, Nube.

[Horace]

And you managed to rat him out and get him banned.

Fred Z aggressively set out to be fugacious, and got his wish.

[The Bigfella]

You could be next, Nube.

That sounds damn near like a threat.

... near enough to make a bloke burn his bible on the footpath

[SaltyD from BC]

You could be next, Nube.

I think you need to shampoo that carpet in the bottom of your truck bed tool box or buy a new tool or something, all this negative energy isn't good for you.

Watch out SaltyD. Donn has a "special" relationship with the administration.

[SaltyD from BC]

A good society should always take care of its special people.

[MiddleAgesMan]

Button-pushers are the bee's knees around here.

You go Donn.

[Garret]

Sad to see the childish posts here - no not the humorous ones - but you know the ones I mean. Fred is one of the good guys & I hope he's back soon.

[BrianW]

Talking to Fred on Facebook, and he said that he does not blame Donn. His Z-ness also mentioned it was just an experiment, and he'll be back next month.

Then he said something like "Klaatu barada nikto" which I didn't understand.

So we can all relax.

[McMike]

Lmao!!!!

A longstanding catchphrase of Fred Z.

see here for explanation:

[Andrew Craig-Bennett]

I would like Fred to come back.

[Donn]

Then he said something like "Klaatu barada nikto" which I didn't understand.

It's the line Helen used to get Gort to bring Klaatu back to life.

[Mrleft8]

Do we really want to know if you actually knew that, or if you had to look it up?......
No..... Don't answer that...... Just pretend I didn't ask.......

[Steve McMahon]

A lot of our "special" people are getting especially cranky and prone to button mashing as it becomes obvious that they are going to be subject to another 4 years of democratic tyranny under Barak Obama.

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

I like Fred he's good people. I like his family posts on facebook. I hope he returns next month and keeps his limited post count

[pcford]

And you [Donn] managed to rat him out and get him banned.

Not the first time. Donn plays the tough guy but it seems his feeling are very delicate.

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Yea my thread about Don[n]'s locked thread got ol squeeky Don[n] the button masher master to scot the thread.

[bobbys]

Watch out SaltyD. Donn has a "special" relationship with the administration.

..


I think this is true.

If Donn never throws the Fbomb he will not get booted for it...

[bobbys]

Not the first time. Donn plays the tough guy but it seems his feeling are very delicate.

.

I like Fred but if Donn pushed the button or not is of no matter.

Posting the F bomb is disrespectful of the forum ..

Unless you think its alright for certain people to cuss here?

[bobbys]

I like Fred he's good people. I like his family posts on facebook. I hope he returns next month and keeps his limited post count

.

Hey I like Fred but throwing the F bomb is not keeping with Family values here when the rules are posted.

However i hope he comes back soon

[bobbys]

A lot of our "special" people are getting especially cranky and prone to button mashing as it becomes obvious that they are going to be subject to another 4 years of democratic tyranny under Barak Obama.

.

So to reverse your "logic" ,Cussing and defending it is proclaiming victory for Obama?

[bobbys]

A good society should always take care of its special people.

.

Donn served society with a tour in the Marines.

Thats Special to me...

[bobbys]

And you managed to rat him out and get him banned.

.

Donn posted the black triangle after the offending post.

I saw it but would not push the button.

However are you saying its ok to throw the F bomb here in public then the person that pushes the button is a rat?..

I would hate to see the Forum resort to cussing .

Then i would think i was still in Jersey where the F word is Appropriates in front of every word every time lol

[bobbys]

Yea my thread about Don[n]'s locked thread got ol squeeky Don[n] the button masher master to scot the thread.

.

If the Man behind the curtain deemed your thread was worth removing why blame Donn .

Just peek in the mirror for the culprit.

The only problem i have with Fred is he did not go out with a naughty picture.

A good bilge Rat would at least let us enjoy the booting!

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Bobby maybe you and Don[n] should get a room already sheeeesh

[Glen Longino]

..."disrespectful of the forum"...
Ha! Try calling Donn "poo poo head" repeatedly and see how long you last!
Scot seems to think it's okay for you to call me that, but I suspect he might react differently if Donn pushed the button on you. Hypocrite!

Na it was Don[n]
And damn bobby are you sure you're sailor ? You seem wayyyyyyyy to sensitive to be one. Your kinda a pansy whiner always telling us salty sailors what high road we missed. Just my Bronx Irish Salty Sailor observation

[Paul Pless]

I think you may have a point. After further review, I'm not even sure that he's really a roofer.

[Chris Coose]

There are a couple guys here, I'll read what they write. Fred's one of them. And I get a kick out of the way he comes and goes.

[John of Phoenix]

Be well Fred Zed. Live to kick ass another day.

But i never pushed any button on Fred and in fact asked him to remove it and stay .

However i see you ran to Scott over Poo poo face.{big Baby!}

Donn is NOT a poo poo face so why would i call him that?.

If i never pushed the button on a F bomb why would i be concerned over Poo poo face or Troglongago?.

You logic is flawed if i pushed the button i would indeed be a hippo crite.

If Fred called anyone a poo poo face he would still be here ...

[bobbys]

I keep a tar pot kettle in the front yard to twick people..

Useful for caulking any passing ships to!

[Chip-skiff]

What is it with all the "doo-doo pee-pee" stuff?

Sounds like a kindergarten playground session.

[Steve McMahon]

You are special too bobbys. In fact you are very special. Possibly even extra virgin special.

[bobbys]

Na it was Don[n]

Im not sure why you keep asking me if im a Sailor.

But now you have for the 2d time i will submit a reply.

No i do not have a Sailboat following the Circle line around NYC or traveling from tavern to tavern on the Hudson.

Not that there is anything the matter with that..

Im sure you are very good at that and much better then me.

No I Dory fish through the surf in the most dangerous small boat Commercial fishing in the States.

I have Crabbed, Worked shares on Crews and now we bought a bigger boat..

I have no idea how anyone might do on a crab boat but i can say after pulling a few hundred pots in heavy seas one is not a "pansy"..

I already said Im certainly used to the F bomb being from jersey and running a roofing crew but are you telling me certain people are Exempt from doing that here?.

As far as the Bronx goes I never saw any reason to go there when i lived there it was a dump Like Hoboken its probably yuppied up now, I worked in Spanish Harlem renovating apts and got along with everyone there..

Donn did not make anyone do anything, Not to hard to figure out...

People called out Donn on this thread first .

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Ooh looks like I hit a nerve
