I've commented very little on the Morty Phenomenon. I'll simply say that I believe having him here, while not 100% pleasureable, is more a positive than a negative. I understand why people can find his 'performance art' annoying and a distraction, and I was in that camp initially myself.

However, his musings, if you take the time to read them and follow them, are genuinely smart and funny and frequently hysterical. I'm not trying to insult those that don't "get it" saying this. There isn't anything 'to get'... He is an agent provocateur here and most often defuses more than incites. But as an agitator, I understand that some are turned off. But most miss him when he goes on his frequent 'walkabouts' or would really miss him if he left.

There's room for nearly any type of Internet denizen here, and though he does go over the top, generally he is 100% harmless and contributes to the atmosphere of manic frivolity that pervades the Forum.

Can we get all that re-typed, in layman's terms?

But usually at the expense of someone else....

Personally I've laughed at many things he has said, but I just don't think anyone should be so mean whether it's a joke to him or not and honestly it seems like you support him being mean to people. Like that whole Champagne Room thing? Sorry, Steve, but that was rude to me and granted I'm your guest here but I thought you were a kinder person than that.

I just don't see the difference between what he does and pages and pages of sexual innuendo. It's the same thing. At least most of his stuff is not in the paddock. The board has changed a lot, but if you think it's because of Morty, I think you are way off. I also don't think he is rude at all. He is 100% kidding around.

have fun.

I clearly misinterpreted the situation.

I don't think anyone goes out of their way to be mean in threads, including Morty. We try to be judicious in interpreting intent in monitoring the Forum, and have been accused over being overzealous a number times.. oblivious others.. with regards to people's sensitivities. I appreciate the frank assessment above and will take it to heart in regards to future scenarios.

Honestly, I didn't bring this up because I would like to see him go because I don't. We all know I was no saint when Grits pissed me off :o This forum should and is fun, but there is also a great wealth of information to read with people like yourself, Cannon, BTW, Drugs etc and I'm sure there are lots of people out there looking to improve their game that join up. But, at the same time, if a new poster doesn't understand the jokes around here they are not going to want to stay and I'm sure you don't want that.

Again, thank you very much for the apology.

I said that I don't put anyone on ignore, and that I wasn't calling for anyone to be banned.

my only point was that for me, he is a large distraction on this place. much much more than any other person and I said we ALL go OT.

after talking to people directly this week I realized that many people have the same feeling as I do but they don't say anything.

no big deal, you morty people are enjoying the board more, others find it tiresome and distracting.

Out of curiosity, why are you posting in the above format now? Have you gone off your rocker? LOL
