Let me start by saying that I don't believe Fred should be "banned". (yet)
The moderators of this board do a fine job in attemting to provide a platform for sincere (and
sometimes off-beat) discussions.
If Fred causes them a pain in causing them to
scrutinise his posts with painful regularity, then
this is something they should weigh up as well.
As for the rest of us...well we can just simply
ignore him. This cannot be said for the
Moderators.
Let us hear what Fred has to say in his own
defense after reading all the responses to this
main post.
The floor is yours FRED HALL

The "feelings" many have toward Freddy is evident
from the selected extracts that are included for
your amusement and Fred's serious contemplation.

It took me 3 Fred Hall readings before I knew he
was nuts
I usually just skip his posts, but with several
THOUSAND people reading H20 monthly, he may be
doing more damage than we can see if allowed to
continue.
Jerry Bergman stated in one of his books that he
knew of elders who had an I.Q. of around 70. Based
on that fact Fred may well be the P.O. in his
Hall.
I will not even look at his posts.
Just ignore him
It is very obvious he is a troll
The only time they bother me is when he manages to
distract a good discussion, and this doesn't
happen much, because he lacks the skills to do it.
And he has a right to his ridiculous opinions and
to express them
I believe in freedom of speech, even for the
misguided and inarticulate
Save the band width he uses. Yes, in this unusual
case ban the bum
His posts are empty, but then they don't take much
bandwidth. It's hard to have an opinion on Fred.
He's the court jester. I have had many laughs
after reading his one-liners
I reccomend you REQUIRE him to put this at the
beginning of every post he writes:
"WARNING! The words you are about hear are the
musings of a braindead idiot."
He is just childish and kinda nuts...so let the
guy stay if he gets any kick out of telling us to
read rutherfords books.
Cheers
