That post is no longer available, and it certainly wasn't the one quoted above.

As to Ryan explaining himself, I don't think that's going to happen, nor should it. If you think about it, the last thing we want is to get the forum bogged down with controversial, off-topic discussions. Ryan has tons of experience running these forums, and is very good at doing so. I suggest we defer to his better judgement in situations like this. These forums have rules; not many, but they are pretty specific. If you want to use the forum, abide by the rules. They are in our own best interests.

Once again, I must agree with you in full.

I had been slapped (banned) many years ago and frankly, I'd deserved it.
I'd done my best to choose my words carefully since but suspect I stumble now and then.

I can't say I was ever mistreated nor cheated by Ryan. I suspect he'll be just as fair with Charlie.

Charlie is such a good person. Always treated me fair. I would like to know if this is true.
Cannot imagine a lifetime ban. I think in most cases a warning and a dealation of offensive post would be the way to go. Then again, it's not my ball and bat.

Me too. Agree completely. Once again, Tubman's good judgement and good sense shows.

If we did get an explanation from Ryan, there would be inevitable disagreements and rebuttals posted. We, and Ryan, don't need to go there.

Yeah, but necessary here. Americans, especially older Americans like most of us, easily start screaming at each other over political stuff. The moderator should nip that before it even gets started. We sure don't want to be screaming at each other on this forum.

[flatjack9]

Do you know something we don't? I don't think I've ever seen a political post from Charlie.

[Kube]

Guys, how about taking a break from this? Any of us that know Charlie, know he's a fine gentleman. What we do not know is what transpired to get him banned. Nor do we know how long...
Ryan is also a good guy and no doubt had a good reason for doing what he'd done.

So, my advice? Take a breath, sit back and wait for some facts.

Good one, Dean...Nice catch!...

I said something implicating a certain powerful political party and got a week’s worth of banishment, I think it was a week, so I won’t be mentioning what I think about any political issue. I’ll save that for another site. But permanent ban? Pretty harsh. Remember the “golden rule”, he who has the gold, rules.

And only he is without sin casts the stone (suspect none of us qualify)

Charlie has hopefully only lost his privileges AND prominence for as little as seven days, if HE & WE are that lucky. IF only seven days are in the cards, his smilin' face.....(could ya possibly beat a pair o' smiles like this pair?).....





.....COULD be back as early as 50 hours from now. That should be about enough time off for Charlie to accomplish some catchin'-up on projects, and then getting back to us on The 'Barn full-time.

Hope it doesn't last. He's a huge asset to this site!

stop blindly following the so called rules and who made them anyway thought that this was the land of free speech and open debate you may not like his opinion but he has a legal right to express it same as you and only through debate can you meaningly hope to bring about lasting change in this world censorship of and banning anything only serves to drive it underground and further ingrain it Wake up and worry about something important and in this world there are FOOLS that need to be told their FOOLS

Makes me wonder if there is a hidden "power behind the throne" pulling the strings? Censorship is alive and well these days!

[alanwoodieman]

me-maybe it is a good time to exit gracefully, if C NY could get banned for life then nobody is safe from it--good by Ford barn

[GaryU.]

First off I doubt he’s been banned for life, next I totally agree with Kube to take a break and see what transpires next. Last, thought this was an early Ford site! As Arron Rodgers has said over many years “Relax”. If you want to contact Charlie his phone number and email are part of the photo posted.

I saw it. It disappeared quickly. I do have to say that I was surprised and disappointed in it's content.

"Kube" is right; it's time to move on.
