Just so I don't get anymore PMs, I'll throw out my two cents about banning StrikeHold for life.
StrikeHold is obviously a fool who most likely has no kids, if he does then I fear for them and their future. I truly hope he was trying to make some sort of dry humor joke, but it obviously was not taken that way by anyone else with half a heart for what War-Dog-Nemo must be going through.
As for the ban, I won't be the mod to do it. It's the internet and the Land of the Free, people are allowed to be idiots and make comments others don't appreciate. The mods are not here to regulate and judge what's appropriate, offensive to some, etc. I do not want to get the ball rolling where every comment that someone thinks is mean spirited gets forwarded to a mod, I'd get even less work done then I do now.
As for those who want him banned you are welcome to put him on ignore as I have and/or send him a pm with your thoughts and feelings. At the very least I do think he owes WDN an apology, but that will be up to him I guess.
WDN, I do truly feel for your situation, as a dad of two young kids I can only imagine the pain in your heart. I wish you the best and you and your daughter have my prayers.

I appreciate the position you are in, but as a mod, it is your job to make sure members follow the rules on this PRIVATELY owned site.

This is not a free speech issue but, rather, a dickhead blatantly breaking the rules issue. If he would have told you or the other mods to "not worry about your daughter because she's probably dead by now," I have a hard time believing that he would continue to cruise along unchallenged.
