There's one point people are making though:
if Vinman is banned, so should maher. I mean, it's the same bloody thing. And if you would then ban Osman, Turk and Tifoso Lou I could retire.
Vinni should stop posting the insults in all caps because it gets more attention. Instead, keep it lower-case so it doesn't create as much of a stir. Perhaps he can hide some stuff, too.
Vinman's problem is his lack of style and brains. He's probably a very nice guy to hang around with and I bet I'd like him very much as a teammate , but when he insults people on an internet forum his lesser side really shows. He hasn't got the brains to be a bit ambiguous about it, nor the ability to be funny. While he's a good guy, he's just not the brightest.
Vinni is provoked many times on this forum by a select crowd, yet I don't think anything is done about that. From jokes about him being a hothead police officer to mentally retarded, he's unfairly targeted all the time. Cronios has to deal with idiots criticizing his posts because they're "too long and winded." Who the fuck cares? He can write as much as he wants about anything he wants on topic, so let the man do want he wants and take your lazy asses elsewhere.
It's a difficult call to make. I personally don't think he's retarded, but he does lack the capacity for abstract thought and considers everyone who has ever read a book a nerd. I'm not mocking him or anything, I just think you shouldn't go that far in your statements.
