Hahaha, what a group of flustered people we have here (you know you are, if you are getting all flustered by Cookoo, then that is you). Come on guys, you are better than that, aren't you? TheDeal, I don't lump you into this group, as most all of your posts have been solid and insightful (maybe you were having a bad day when you opened this thread, it happens). But friend, I'm not so sure I agree with you leaving, though its your choice, which is the point I intend to make. Anyway, if you did, I'd be disappointed. Now if a few others left, well that wouldn't bother me one .... I'd welcome it.

I sense some hiding and running away from challenges here....
Hahaha, yes, I agree.
First of all, Cookoo, please continue! You won't be banned unless you do something worse than most of us have done here. What has cookoo done that is so bad? Extra threads? Well we are all guilty of that. Insults? Sh#t, its the life blood around here, except I haven't seen to many from Cooko, so you are much more safe than the whiners crying around here. I mean that wholeheartedly dude, please continue! It says more about the people constantly replying to you or about you than yourself. The less weak-minded people you cause to leave, the better as far as I'm concerned. If there is one pet peeve I have on the forum, are Internet pansies. I plan to meet people at the races whenever I can, and you are providing a great service to me. If they flcuk-off the site over a troll (not that you are one, but just in their weak-mind), there is probably no chance of me ever meeting them, time saved. Unless something has changed in the last few days I've been gone, Cookoo bird had not been baited by the insults lobbed at him, this by the same thin-skinned people with their panties in a bunch over his opinions. He's taken several insults and I count very few that he has returned. Use the Chick-sht button AKA Ignore-button if you guys like, but its easy to scroll through and move along. Most of you complaining are the same ones replying and banging on with cookoo directly or indirectly! Shut the fcuk up and move on if it bothers you so much guys. Which honestly, I don't think it bothers you guys but just want to hear yourself grandstand making building up you sh#t esteem or something. I for one have been laughing at the absurdity of all you whiners. You crybabies are weak because you give somebody else the control of your emotions, on the freaking Internet no less. Please Cookoo, continue, do not be deterred. I for one will continue reading your posts and taking what I want from them. I retain the control of what I want to feel when I read the trivial opinions about a trivial sport!

If cuckoo makes it out to the Texas race his beers are on me :drinks:
Curve, you beat me too it. Even though Cookoo is a Nicky hater and a Pedro lover, just the fact he has fluster a bunch of internet pansies deserves a couple beers from me (assuming he is old enough to drink, which I'm not sure). But to you I say, bravo bravo! Boohoo, somebody said something bad about my favorite riders, I'm gonna look for the chicken-$hit button. Freaking hmoos.

Calm down. He's just winding us up. A regular who is a little bored during the off season I think.
Lets just all agree not to quote him for those that have him on ignore. I bet he is pissing himself laughing at some of your reactions.
....
Yep no need for a proxy unless you are trying to hide your identity.
Hahaha, the usual voice of reason. Calm down is exactly right Friz. I agree. Not sure why supposedly such sound minded people are all up in arms about a guy who has "trolled" the site. I for one don't think this guy is another regular member, he seems too unique (but I have been privy to other scams, so I know it can be pulled off). I think this dude is an honest member who happens to have controversial opinions coupled with childish debate logic. But then again Frizzy, I could say this about many members around here, eh? hahaha
About your second point. Even if somebody did use a proxy (though Ben confirmed Cookoo is not using one), there are many good reason one would use a proxy. Maybe a person works a job where they don't allow him buzzing around a forum? Anyway, moot point as it turns out Cookoo's account is legit.

Ahh the age old debate, to moderate or not to moderate - that is the question
Here is the answer: When in doubt, do not moderate.

The IP address used is masked by a proxy, so no way of matching to an existing user.
Andy, no change to resist - mod's have been on the site since it's inception near enough. It's only because cuntgate occurred that it was thrust into the realms of discussion again. Today's news, tomorrow's chip paper.
I just find it odd that the people who were so against moderation are now calling for a ban!
Well, you just got everybody's blood pressure to go up. Nice one dude. Hahaha. Thanks for the clarification that he is actually a legit member. Remember the good o' days when I use to get PMed pics by a dude with 20 alias posting pics of the burning Twin Towers? That was fun. Btw, not just the few asking for bans but the ones whining constantly. I'll say what you mean by "odd" aka double standard. Anyway, please continue doing the fine job you and the covert mods have been doing. I thank you profusely for this site. I take comfort in the fact its in good hands.

Why is it one ..... can come in and a bunch of good people leave? It's so unfair.
Well, who do you think is the "....." and who are the "good people"? Unless a few threads have been deleted, I count only 2 threads that Cookoo bird has started, which could legitimately pass as thread to discuss MotoGP. However, this thread was started for what? To talk sh&t about Cookoo bird (and a bunch of pansies obliging). So, this is how I re-wrote your question in my mind:
Why is it one unpopular member can come in and a bunch of weak-mined pansies leave? It's so fair.
Final part of rant:
We have had way worse trolls on here. Have you guys forgot about pinky, alphabet, supershinay, penguin, zootlaw, viper7, Jauod, etc? If they didn't get banned, nobody should. I suspect this guy is getting a lot of sh%t because he has been calling Stoner a coward, which based on the current member make is very unpopular. If this guy was shirtting on VR (being that Goaty is the last of the boppers left) then this Cookoo might be getting a bit more of a pass. Thats what I think is happening around here. Who of the current whiners were threatening to quit or use the chicken-shirt ignore button when penguin was spew crap ten times worse?
I can relate to this Cookoo bird because when I first joined, the members called for me to be banned. Even the mod team had a secret meeting to discuss whether I should be banned. They couldn't in good conscience because I was not using profanity or violating any other rule (which I was smart and careful not to do), I just had a very unpopular opinion; which at the time was: Nicky earned his title. Back then 9/10 members were staunch VR fans (of which later became some of my best real life friends). Once it became clear that all the members where safe by lobbing insults at me, then I replied in kind, but that was after I had banked several insults by others. So it is with this Cookoo, unpopular opinion. That is all. Those of you who have engaged him haven't been able to sway him, oh wow, that is a first! (sarcasm). Who the hell's opinion is ever really swayed around here?
