 Response to Censorship Thread
I wanted to post this in it's own thread so people wouldn't have to wade through 5 pages to see it. Owning this site has sometimes been like running a daycare center, only daycare centers make more money All bs aside, it's a balancing act of allowing free speech (which is our right to do so and a right that I firmly believe in) and having to deal with things that could potentially bring trouble and that's why some words are censored on MMT. I've always said time and time again that everyone's welcome here, and you know why I say that over and over again? Because it's true. It doesn't matter what anyone drives, and that's always been the case with me and MMT since I took it over. How do you think we got to 7200+ members? By excluding MB owners? I think not. Some have had bad feelings towards the MB company owner and some here that own MB products have the notion that members on MMT don't like them because they run MB motors. I can't read minds but I would say that is simply not true. Some MB motor owners don't understand that it's not the motor, but the company owner that some have a distaste for. I can bet that if someone had a MB and was stranded out on the water, there's no doubt that any member on MMT would lend a hand to them, brand be damned. As for me, I have had not a single bad word for MB or it's owner, (please use the search and prove me wrong), but yet, my character has been attacked several times at the MB forum. Once I posted a thread on MMT responding to allegations made about me at the MB forum and asked for it to be re-posted there so all could see that everyone was welcome and that MMT and it's owner weren't out to get anyone or make anyone or any company look bad. It was replied to by MB's owner as if I were a lying evil person out to get MB, it's owner, as well as folks who run them. This really bothered me because everything I said was sincere and I meant every word. Who are they to assassinate my character? Do they know me personally to think such a thing? The answer is no, they don't know me at all to make these false allegations. Here's a newsflash, it's not me that has a distaste for MB, never have, it's some of the members and that's their business, not mine. I have absolutely nothing to do with anyone's dislike for MB so I would really appreciate it if my name would quit being dragged around like I'm something I'm not. I've have met several members here who drive all brands and I bet they sense when meeting me face to face that I'm an alright guy, because that's who I am, not someone who's out to get MB or it's owner by purposely running MMT as a bashing site against MB. It absolutely floors me to think that anyone actually thinks that I would purposely run a website to ruin a company, that is just idiotic to say the least. I would like to thank those at the MB forum who came to my defense, I really appreciated it and it meant a lot to me. It's really getting to the point where I'm going to say screw it and censor every MB related word and we won't talk about MB at all. To be honest, my character has been run through the mill, but yet on the flip side of the coin MB would love to use MMT to pimp their new motor and that just irks me because to them I'm a no good evil person, but boy it sure would be nice to show off the new motor there because they've got plenty of traffic. See my point? It would really be a shame to have to go to those extremes because there's lots of MB owners here and some that I've met, I consider friends. In closing, we're going to have to move past this folks, as in the past, this never gets anywhere. As I've said before, everyone is welcomed at MMT, even people who drive a MB.

 Re: Response to Censorship Thread
Never thought about that view in the last big paragraph Tony. That's gotta burn your ass. Thete are a lot of good guys over there but there are a few that seem to hang on his every word. Kinda like a little mini cult and their leader can do no wrong. Props to you though for running the best mudmotor forum on the internet and rolling on the high road.

 Re: Response to Censorship Thread
i understand that you dont allow the mm manufactures to sponser here, but for some reason it seems that that if you did it would maybe stop alot of this. at least the manufactures would feel as though there were no bias by you or the site. if that shook out like so it may rub off on the members here?
any way just a thought.

 Re: Response to Censorship Thread
Tony I totally understand the MB thing. The midget is a douchebag -- we all know that,
Im curious why cuss words are edited on here. You say words that could do harm -- but how do they do harm, You support the 1st amendment but dont allow the cuss words,
Im not trying to bash you or anything like that, I seriously want to know seeing as you decided to make this post,

 Re: Response to Censorship Thread
Yes there are lots of photos around, but what I needed was two photos that looked just like the ones up now, where the two motors are going away from each other so the logo stays in the middle. The photo would have to come from the person who took the photo so there are no copyright issues.

 Re: Response to Censorship Thread
I kinda like it. That way it is harder for people to search his product. He may actually feel better thinking it is now harder for people to bash it. It's a two street that is probably gonna do more harm than good

I just checked the word censors again and there's no cuss words censored out. Feel free to test them out.

 Re: Response to Censorship Thread
See, told ya they worked Damn barnes_53, either you copy and pasted that or you have some awesomely fast typing skills Everyone likes to give each other hell on here, it's the same as sitting in a duck blind. We all know that everyone's joking around and some that don't know any better take it the wrong way. Hell I've even taken things the wrong way on here several times. So, let's all sit by the camp fire and sing some campfire songs and keep MMT as the best damn mudmotor site on da planet . . . . you fucking cock suckers!

 Re: Response to Censorship Thread
I agree with you 100% TonyB!
Considering how much he's bashed you...along with this forum and all of it's members (us)...I'd be damned if I allowed him or his taint ticklers the opportunity to pimp their new products..or any product for that matter on this forum.
That sorry meritless maggot and his following of tongueless pillock's are remindful of that demented sex cult leader of a few yrs. And anyone that can find it within themselves to somehow defend this bag of Summer's Eve vinegar water needs to have his face rubbed in fire ants.
And to any of you that wanna say "Well Craig that's really harsh..and you shouldn't talk about anyone in that manner cause blah blah"....you yourself can eat a bag of dicks.

 Re: Response to Censorship Thread
Why not get rid of anything MB, excel, gatortrax, bbbbppppsss, or Glennnnnn related? Just delete it all, sigs, reviews, threads, questions for help, classifieds, everything. No more talk about the little man or his products again. Couple extra mods or count on us members to flag every post, just get rid of it all. No more advertisement, no more mention of anything to do with them, good or bad. Even it could only be cleaned out every day or two or even once a week, just get rid of all of it. He wants silence, let's give it to him. He gets a lot of face time over here, good or bad. Lets take it away from him.
