"But I've lurked around this forum and seen some blatant examples of ignorance and disrespect I've ever seen, no personal offense intended."
Are you kidding me, there DAMN sure is personal offense intended all through this." Ignorance and Disrespect by saying people are deviants, should be isolated, and treated with hate is Jimbo's feelings.Yes both Joe_H and Jimbo are ignorant and disrespectful (if you support these ideas). And if you 1. Have been lurking all this time with all these thoughts than you are coward for waiting until now and taking a whole thread to blast this entire board for there collective thoughts and conversations that you were not a part of (or were you?) 2. If you are Jimbo, damn, this is pathetic.
Ban away and run that IP. Please.
As far as Sifo_Dyas well I have not seen this at all from Luke, Jimbo will attack Luke with crappy comments often just antagonizing and playing devil's advocate with illogical arguments just to push buttons. Luke is a great contributor this board and posts helpful ideas, links, and by and large is a good friend to most everyone on this board. He contributes to nearly every thread with well thought out comments. More than I can say for Jimbo.
To quote me since you grabbed my out of context "Lucas listen to fans, not in my lifetime" (a parody of the Greedo line) well here's my post from another thread where Jimbo's hatefulness run's rampant.

I don't need to sit down after a long day of work and fill my mind with stress, negativity and hate...I certainly can find that other places with little effort. This board is about the love of Star Wars and more specifically the understanding that we are losing something we love. I have made many friends here and it has transcended just Star Wars, though that was are starting point, for all of us. r2, galahad, windexed, mio, rikter, magnolia, luke, bossk, darth sheba, klingon, warbler, etc. These are names of good friends I converse with and share ideas with every day based on our common love of SW. This board is a source of enjoyment and it is here I believe I have found a home. That's cool to me.
All of this said, when I see someone ruining the place we hang out for friendship and worse still, singling out some of my friends with hateful comments; I will defend them.
Jimbo, I do believe it is time you got IP banned from this board. And maybe there is a place for you where people find pleasure out of hateful comments and harsh criticism. But its not here, not with me, and apparently not with most of my friends.

Quotes from Jimbo:
"Go impragnate a women like the rest of us. The best part about kids is making them. I am not against adoption. Adoption is a very good thing. Not Gay adoption. For an innocent child to live with such discusting behavior is so wrong. Frankly id love for all children with Gay adopted parents to be taken away and put with normal familys. Husbund and Wife. The way nature and God want us to be."
"My opinion being gay is sick. Which is one of the biggest reasons I support Bush over Kerry. Bush cares about America. Frankly I don't want to live in an America where being a sick discusting deviant is considered normal. Like I said it is a steping stone to accepting even worse individuels like child molesters."
"If I had a gay teacher id do whatever I can to switch classes. I can't stand them and I can't stand any strait individuel who accepts them. My homophobic views are very popular in my school. Those who aren't homophobic are outcasts. Again gays should not be aloud to teach. That puts them around normal people. They should not be alowed in normal schools or any normal place where normal people live. Our society is getting sicker and sicker. As Al Bundy said "Its a tough world out there. Fat people getting mad if you call them cows. Foreign people getting made if you tell them to go home."
"If I am banned I can live. I feel that I must speak out anywhere I can about the wrong direction I believe the country I love is going."
OK lets talk about ignorant and disrespectful. The grammar and misspellings aside, the hatefulness is unacceptable on this board and has no place even if you ascribe to his ideals and think he is right, he has no right to put it out there in such an inflammatory manner. This is disrespectful to everyone here. Flat out.
As for the original post made above by "Joe_H" I could certainly discredit most of that, but I am not sure I want to play this game.
According to him...
" I'll post some quotes and rebuttals. Afterwards I'll leave in peace."
Well ok, thats what I want...peace. You shit on everyone here and have the gall to say that you'll post a few statements and leave in peace and go back to "lurking" right. Cowardice and truly misguided.
I am so tired of seeing what was a joyous experience being on this board getting ruined, its almost like watching TPM on continuous loop.
BTW, Joe_H, I am not leaving, at all, I am here, I was here before you and will be here after you...not lurking...but here...posting...and contributing things of a positive nature here.
Peace.
