The guy is the most hardcore troll this board has ever had. Seriously. Look at his track record. Remember when he used to post on here about his gay uncle and how he's totally OK with that kind of thing? Now he is a total and complete bigot. He posts bigoted threads just to spark hate-filled discussions and/or to get attention. He has 0 rep. The entire board calls him Beanclown. He can't even make a damn game thread properly. I think if we get 20 votes he should be permanently IP banned.
since archie became a 'respectable' poster, b'clown is my only entertainment. Keep him.
you want him banned because you disagree with his politics and philosophy? Here's a thought. Put him on your ignore list and you'll never have to read anything he posts again.
They are far, far more tolerant of trolls here than on any other forum I've ever been to. I assume they have their reasons and that there is some "philosophy" behind it.
Good response. I'll bet all of us have voiced opinions at one time or another that have been unpopular. Last I checked, no one is pushing on my hand forcing me to open a thread against my will. I can use the ignore feature - or just not read comments from a particular poster.I think everyone who has different beliefs and/or opinions than the majority should be banned. Especially when those beliefs/opinions are cleary wrong.

Wow, Katie comes in here and preaches uncomprimising tolerance and yet is very quick to jump in this thread in favor of banning a poster that just so happens to disagree with what she's all about. I'm not a huge Beantown fan myself, but it's funny how some will scream for tolerance, yet eagerly join a witch hunt the first chance they get.
I actually saw what Beantown was trying to accomplish when he satarized Kaite's LPGA thread with his Race thread. Was it a good idea, well articulated or even funny? I guess that depends on who ask but he certainly shouldn't be banned for it.

A spade is a spade. I call it like I see it. I have plenty of tolerance, except when it comes to bigotry. Beanclown is constantly trolling this message board. It's not like this most recent thread is the first time it's happened.
Alas, anytime anyone ever gets banned (or suspended, or given an infraction, or even warned there might be an infraction forthcoming in the future) we're repressive facists who just want to make sure the board is no fun for anybody.
It's a true "damned if you do, damned if you don't" enterprise.
Part of the issue presently is that we had the "great reset" that brought a lot of older trolls back. It used to be we squashed those out as fast as we could go.

A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs. The predominant usage in modern American English refers to persons hostile to those of differing race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, various mental disorders, or religion.
Sorry if those words offended some of you. I'm not looking for a fight. I'm just interested in what tolerance is.
I'm also curious as to what a bigot is when it seems like nearly everyone on this board has strong (hateful) feelings about race, sexual orientation, football teams, or religion.
I do find it hilarious that Katie is ripping beantown after creating an innumerable amount of threads preaching tolerance. I would think that she of all people would be tolerant of bean's opposing views. You may not agree w/them, but that doesn't mean that they should be banned. That's part of a discussion, seeing other viewpoints.
Being tolerant doesn't mean suffering through any ******** somebody throws at you. I don't see Katie doing or saying anything even a little bit intolerant.
