Hello all my fellow TT brethern.

I have been banned. It was nice meeting most of you, and getting to know you via TT over the past 7 years, but alas, I've been forced against my will to move on and find other ways to waste valuable time during my day. I wish you all the best of luck, and hope to see y'all on the trail again one day soon. Please send these sentiments to other TT'rs, for some didn't list thier email addy's. I leave you with this:

1. "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely excercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive." - CS Lewis
2. The Ohio State Buckeyes are #1, Florida got lucky twice last year.
3. See the email that ended it all below, and finally......

4. That's it, I'm leaving TT, goodbye to all my friends, and all my enemies can kiss by stupid-liberal-crack-munching-baby ASS!

Peace,

Buddha Bear

PS - Although Buddha Bear may be dead, the ghost of buddha has left one final message, but in name only.




I think you meant to say "If you <had> decide<d> to control yourself a bit, this would not have happened. ...."

BTW - It's a backpacking COMMUNITY forum. When people actually backpack with a COMMUNITY of backpackers, various topics are discussed both on the trail, and around the campfire. In these live discussion groups, if a topic rubs somebody the wrong way, and something is said, normally the topic changes. In TT you have the opportunity to ignore posters whom you disagree with, or are offended by. In short, there is NEVER a good reason to ban speech, either on the trail nor off the trail. I've met over 120 TT'rs over the 7 years I've contributed to the site. The reasons you are banning me is not taking me or threads away from them, it's taking away thier virtual downtime around the fire. Your decision to ban threads that you don't like is just one more reason that we need to keep the internet, and websites on the internet, free of corporate america.

Please be advised to remove any articles penned by Jay Demagall from the articles section of thebackpacker.com, or you will be hearing from my lawyer.

Good luck with your new "Big Brother" website, I'm sure it will be real successful.

Jay "Buddha Bear" Demagall

If you decide to control yourself a bit, this would not have happened. Matt let it go too far. This is a BackPacking site. Not a flaming site.

We're in bizarro world.

Crash! Bang! can be smart here!

and s-rge can be a decent human being. hooray!

nice quote by Thoreau there BB.

Crash, we can love each other on this site! Open your heart and give me some of that lov'n!

hello everyone.... i made parole......i'm back!

Who exactly is "Domain Admin"? Did s/he even bother to put a name to that email?

Was that the whole thing? Was it just the two pissant lines with the wrong tense and the incomplete sentence?

Maybe they was all too shook up to type? LOL

I knew I'd find all you reprobates over here. Am I going to have to get banned too just so I can read the good posts? How do I do that?

i love everyone! (s-rge most of all)

where's the "ignore" feature?

This place sucks

This place rules!

Yea MATT!

What's a "Renunion" and how do I sign up for it?

where's the "ignore" feature?

i dunno, but you seem to have found the "ignorant" feature

Can you tell I lost weight for the reunion?

Check out the "Report this Message" feature!

Whoooohoooooo

Smells like lime jello over here

Hopefully matt saved a copy of all the old threads for posterity sake.

lets see what words i can say over here

~content edited cuz i dont wanna push it just yet~

Cool, I think I might like it here.

@#$%&, you're still an ass

dont feed the trolls

altho i do find it hilarious that within minutes (we're talkin single digit minutes, btw) of this thread being started, guess who shows up? proof positve that hes been lurking non-stop on tt. seeing as how hes not banned, i gotta say thats a tremendous amount of willpower there, considering how in love with the place he was

What's REALLY hilarious is how a day hasn't gone by in the last 6 months where you haven't uttered my name ('S-rge', 'He who shall Not be named', etc..) since I asked to be banned from trailtalk.

Now THAT's HILARIOUS!!!

Speaking of love!

Maybe IT an oo brett are Matt Trolls?

Told ya so.

The last thing the new owners want is a decrease in traffic so ANYTHING that might threaten an increase in additional usage will be squashed. Lets face it, TT weeds out new posters at a very high rate.

That place is going downhill...wonder how long before it becomes like backpacker.com

Oh, never mind, it's not worth it.

YOU ALL SUCK AND I'M LEAVING!

so this is where @#$%& ran off to.

The troll is back!

Let us quote Lucretius

"Whenever a thing changes and alters its nature, at that moment comes the death of what it was before."

And so it is with thebackpacker.com. Let the thing wither and die if it must. I'm an old TTer now using my real name. If you know me, you'll know who I was/am over there. If you don't know who I was/am, just call me bob.

BTW, there was a time long ago when I was multiple "persons" over there. Those were great days and a helluva lot more entertaining than the current fare at TT. But those days are long gone and we're here at LO. Let the good times roll!

HOLY @#$%&! Theres a bizzaro world tt???

testing 1, 2, ....

"Holy dripping ****, Batman!"



This was only a test.

Thank-you and goodnight.

They are kinda like ticks .....eh Matt?
LOL!

Greetings TTrs!

"Ticks"? That's too kind. If you brush off ticks and walk away you're usually free of them. We're more like a disease, I would say. Took your meds and thought you beat it. But Some more resistant bugs were immune.....or integrated into your DNA.............waiting for another opportunity..........

thats a good way of putting it bm! >:)

Hi, my name is ENS and I am addicted to backpacking.

Hi, my name is sprit coyote and I'm addicted to ENS. Ooops....
