Today when Chuckwagon called, I was having a good day and a good show. From what I read here, that's what everyone wants from me. So when does it happens, what does he do? He calls in to try to derail the show, the topic and me. That's crap. And so is every negative post about me and the show on this board. It's just people trying to draw some attention to themselves and they think they can get it by bringing me up. Forget it. I don't need to be analyzed by people who for the most part, I have never even met. And I love how people think they have so much insight in to me and Ron and our friendship. It's really getting ridiculous, so don't expect me to put up with it.

The name of the show is Ron & Fez. The name of this site is RonFez.net. I'm not going anywhere. People like Chuckwagon aren't gonna run me off my show and all the negativity isn't going to run me off this board. Sorry, not going to happen.

Everyone seems to be so concerned, but then every other thread is some derogatory comment about one thing or another. Everybody wants the old Fez, guess what? I'd love to see the old RonFez.net.

Chuckwagoncook claims it wasn't him. I don't know if it is true or not, but maybe you should get the facts about it Fez. Anybody can call in to the show and claim to be anybody.

Look at recent calls from lleeder, Randy 307, toiletcrusher, and others that have not been the real people but used their names to get attention on the show.

Also, taking shots at his girlfriend is NOT cool. It's OK if you have a problem with Chuckwagoncook, but a man doesn't attack a guy's girl for no reason.

Missed the show today.

Can one of you post the call here? That would probably prove it isn't Chuckwagon. Either way, whoever it was is not calling to add to the show, only derail it, and that is not what this show is about.

I'm also sorry that you've read things here that upset you.
Please know that the majority of posters here love what you and Ron give us every week
And that I personally don'tiss the old Fez. I'm just happy we have any Fez at all.
You make me laugh a lot. Thank you for that.

Guess what? I'd love to hear a comedy show rather than a daily psychoanalysis session.

How can you be surprised that frustration with the show might filter onto the board? You seem like a nice guy, and since I also suffer from mental illness I have a certain amount of empathy, but maybe you should be concerned about WHY you have been getting negative reactions and feedback.

"I think think the world has become a hard and cruel place Mr. Marley... One must steal for oneself to survive it... Not be crushed under with the weak and infirmed..." - Ebineezer Scrooge, 'A Christmas Carol,' by Charles Dickens - 1843

Fez,

The world has always been a negative place. We need to create our own positive moments. You have an amazing gift to entertain and make people laugh. Your show helps us forget our troubles, if only for a few hours a day... It means the world to us!

SCREW THE HATERS THAT HAVE INFECTED THIS BOARD AND THE PHONES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS!

Its tough. Since an angry Fez is incredibly funny, i.e. rant at Black Earl during week of silence, but I don't think it makes a happy Fez. Or maybe it does, letting out that angry at deserving targets.

Hi Fez,

You are such a great entertainer, that people think they are "in your head" because you guys really give us an entertaining and enlightening show. I didn't think the call was anything but the caller being an a**hole. There was absolutely NO reflection back at you.

Some of those jerky callers really make me shake my head in disbelief. What are they getting out of it - proving they're a**holes? Guess that's it!

Love you!!!! :wub:

Sarge
05-29-2009, 06:19 PM
I didn't hear the call, but like you said Fez, it's the Ron and Fez show. Screw 'em, if they don't want to listen, let them go somewhere else. I've listened to you guys since the dot com days and always thought you were great and always will. Give 'em hell Fez!

CountryBob
05-29-2009, 06:29 PM
Will Fez try to determine if the caller was indeed a fake? Or will he believe that it was the real Chuckwagoncook blindly with out thinking that an imposter has possibly ruined a friendship? I cant wait to find out!

yojimbo7248
05-29-2009, 06:45 PM
still no apology to CWC and Ledouski? I'm surprised Fez had the time to start this thread but not enough time to see if that really was Chuckwagoncook who called in. Even if it was him, attacking his wife was so unnecessary and wrong.

I am a big Fez fan. I remember hearing him for the first time on WJFK when I first moved to D.C. in 2001. I was immediately hooked and have loved listening to him ever since. I think he is hilarious, I love his personality, and I have been very sympathetic to his challenges coping with fears and his emotional challenges .

I also understand his frustration with the negativity on this messageboard, from callers, and listeners in general. Today, however, was disappointing. Fez, you are always going to have the people that seriously don't like you. It just seems sad that by blindly lashing out at them, you attack people that really like you like Chuckwagoncook and turn off many more of your fans in the process.

Fez and I are having our differences and they still have not been mended but I love Fez and (hopefully, and this is a guess, he still likes me). So even though we do not see eye to eye on shit, I must say- you fuck with fez---you fuck with me. And vice versa. We're all striving for the best show possible. We might succeed, we might fail....but I'm sure as shit not gonna let this board that I've been a part of for 7 fucking years be destroyed by these new people who don't get the show or the board. I suggest the same to all of you who believe in positivity.

The fact remains that for whatever reason, you and Jon have lost interest in RonFez.net.

That's fine.

People change.

People move on.

Just do the right thing and hand the reins over to some people who ARE still interested in making this place a good companion to the show. That's all I'm saying.

Ask mikeyboy how exhausted he is trying to run this place by himself since he's been abandoned.

Hopefully you and your family all die soon so you can stop trying your best to ruin a show you obviously don't like but keep up with.

Gvac, i have never had any sort of problem with you and for a large part i have been reading your posts lately and just been taking them with a grain of salt. I believe this is the first time i have even made an attempt to address you on this matter but anyway...i don't quite know if what you're doing is a bit or not, but if i can't tell that must mean something right?

I don't get how you could think, being a long time listener and friend of the show, that this particular thread would be an appropriate venue to express these feelings that you are having. I understand that they are somewhat related to the tune of "the board has changed" but i don't believe that calling out both Bobby and Mikey here is the time and i especially don't think it's the place.

Basically, i don't think it would have killed you to PM one or the other, or both whatever it is that is upsetting or concerning you. I realize that it seems somewhat hypocritical of me to voice these opinions without doing the same but your post was here to quote so i guess, whatever. Your post just came across as something you wanted people to read, rather than something that you actually needed to say. Again, i've never had a problem with you and i am not saying that i do now, i just find it hard to understand your motives behind certain posts.

My motives are simple. I've complained for quite some time that this place is no longer a friendly companion to the show as it once was. I believe mikeyboy agrees with me.

Nothing was done about it and it got worse and worse.

Now Dave dredges up Pantera and wants everything to change overnight.

It doesn't work that way.

That's all.

I'm a loyal fan and friend of Ron and Fez and I liked it when this place complemented the show. It no longer does and nobody in charge seems willing to do anything about it.

I find it humorous that people want to snap their fingers and tell everyone what to say, how to post, and how to behave.

What can people in charge really do to change the way (how many posters do we have?) post threads or responses to threads? Aside from delete everyone's accounts and everything on the board? Even then they would only rejoin and post whatever they want.

I feel that a huge majority of everything posted on this board is a direct result, if not inspiration from the show.

Obviously I'm new around here so I can't speak to "the way things used to be", but it seems like complaints about this site are running rampant, so why not make some changes? When big changes are necessary in companies or sports franchises, it usually starts at the top.

People like Gvac and other major contributors to this site are full of creativity and ideas to improve the site. Why not give them a chance?

We discussed yesterday that the moderators don't benefit much from being in charge, so why do they hold onto the post so tightly?

Obviously I'm new around here so I can't speak to "the way things used to be", but it seems like complaints about this site are running rampant, so why not make some changes? When big changes are necessary in companies or sports franchises, it usually starts at the top.

People like Gvac and other major contributors to this site are full of creativity and ideas to improve the site. Why not give them a chance?

We discussed yesterday that the moderators don't benefit much from being in charge, so why do they hold onto the post so tightly?

I don't think suggesting ways to improve the board is constantly shitting on it. In fact it is the complete opposite--recognizing that it, like everything else, is flawed and taking a proactive approach to improving it. The problem is that the key to change/improvement lies in the hands of a select few leaders that act like they don't want the power, but refuse to hand it over to someone who does.

Why cant this just be a place where we can be friends of the show, and act like it, and where the show can feel comfortable to read and hang out and laugh and plan bar nights and post things like pictures and videos. If you want to bitch and complain, why not do it somewhere else?

For those of you who feel the need to post your bitching here....Is it that important to you that Ron and Fez and Dave see your comments? Even though they've made it clear they dont want to see the negativity?

I get that people want an open forum where they can say anything they want, but there are lots of other boards where you can do that.

why?

i agree with you that there is no reason they should have control over what happens at wb or ftb or rgf or any other board, but the show decided they wanted to make ronfez.net their home, and a place they could hang out and post and share things with us, and make things a two way street. And this wasnt a one-way decision. Long before you or I came around, this board has enjoyed a family/friendship relationship with the show and why is that a bad thing?

What this board has traditionally had with the show is something really special and unique. What this board is becoming is just like every other board out there. Why be in such a hurry to be like everyone else?

I get that, I do, but the negativity spawned on air, and carried over here. While yes, some tards jumped on a bandwagon like flies on fresh shit (I'm looking at you Striker), it was spawned from the show. You've been around long enough to know this stuff works itself out. Deal w/ the tards just looking for shock value, and let the discussion pan out. If the show is negative, the board will pick up on that vibe. You can't though have a very negative moment on a show, then say you don't want to read about it when it is discussed. That's silly. Just my opinion and I respect yours and other peoples who can rationally talk about it (did I just say that?)

this board has a lot of "miserable bastards" that just want to post to stir shit and piss people off. All the fezsassistants, sp1, davescackles, a few more that i can not remember but are all essentially the same person

the question is, should they be banned?

its not like they are going to listen to any reasoning or what anyone else wants. Its not like they are going to move on anytime soon. They don't have any friends on this board that will miss them. Would this board take the proactive stance in saying "get off my board you miserable motherfucker?"

there are people on this board who do occasionally have a negative opinion and they should be allowed to express it, but the people where thats all they do...if you want this board to be better you gotta do something with them. You just do

the major con of all this though is that people would call this site "wackbag". But i think there can be a balance between this site being what it is now...which is just as bad as any era of FBA, and being wackbag where we censor everyone's posts and delete negative threads from long time contributors

its something people would have to think about...i'm not even saying what anyone should or shouldn't do cuz its their choice. I'm just laying it out there. if this site goes completely down the toilet there is still so much other things to do on the 'net these days

Gvac
05-30-2009, 08:22 AM
I've said it hundreds of times before but I'll say it again - the very fact that this site has the names of the hosts (and the show) in its title means it has a certain responsibility to them. It's not "IveGotTwoRadioShows.com" or "DontMakeYouABadPerson.net" it's "RonFez.net." That should mean something

I've long argued that it should enjoy an almost symbiotic relationship with the show.

Not everyone feels that way, however.

Ask mikeyboy about the debates we've had over this. The PMs could fill a book the size of the bible.

The simple fact is that the owners and administrators of the site ultimately have final say, and if they think the free speech angle is the way to go we can all argue until we're blue in the face but it won't change a thing.

That also doesn't mean I won't voice my displeasure.

I find it hilarious that Dave and Fez BOTH said they miss the way ronfez.net used to be, but when I say it I'm ridiculed by some as "wishing for the old days" "not being able to accept change" and that I should "just leave."

Where are the posters saying that to their beloved heroes?

There are tons of frauds on the internet. To think they all have an equal say is ludicrous.

Dave has had a problem with this board for a long time.
I think he's had more fun elsewhere, and if he does, I'm not crying.

Gvac has had a problem with this board recently, and although I'd miss him, I think I already do... so he can go have fun elsewhere too.

Fez is relatively new to the board, and the messageboard world in general, as far as I know. I dont want the fact that he finally felt comfortable enough to join us to be ruined by that same experience. Unfortunately, it seems that what disturbed him most was caused by someone not even connected to this board, so it would seem he was just upset by a caller; Dunno how thats our responsibility.

But since Fez thinks it's a board issue, yes the current situation with Fez is more stirring than the 2 others or jayjay or anyone else...for me.

so if someone attacks Fez for attacking the board they should be banned? there would be a few bannings right here in this thread. i think open conversation is whats needed on a productive message board, as long as its not "this show member is a fag" or "this show member is an elitist." (which i would ban without warning in the past if that did come up)

So Im all for mass banning the haters. fuckem if they dont like the show. BUT then there would be others saying we are nazis and favor others and there are cliqs and blah blah blah.

its a lose lose situation which causes the ones in staff positions to lose interest in doing this whole thing. if the die hards were behind the staff trying to do something to make this a better place then maybe things would change.

As much as I like this place, I'm starting to think Gvac's on to something with that women's clothing concept.

thejives
05-30-2009, 08:59 AM
I started listening to the show in '06, and I have since gone back and listened to as many old episodes as I can. Like most of us here I'm addicted.

While none of us "get" the show in the same way, we all love the show in our own way.

So here's my take on what's going on here. I'll break it into 3 parts:

1. WNEW and WJFK Ron and Fez perfected a new kind of cringe radio. Remember "Take her hair" and Wonderboy leaving the the show and Skellington? That was dramatic discord and turmoil inside the studio that the audience could get in on by commenting on it and judging. It gets a huge response. Huge audience involvement. That's where it began.

2. Like many radio shows, Ron and Fez have always pulled listeners into the studio as characters to interact with. But then message boards came along. Over time the number of show characters explodes. It's no longer just Sweet Melissa, Nurse Myra and Ice Cream Girl. It's an army of people with BACs and names and personalities. Those people are gradually assimilated into the show's universe. We're talking thousands and thousands of people.

3. Now put those two together. Ron and Fez are applying their successful cringe radio formula to their massively loyal fanbase. It starts with board members being mentioned. Then threads being used as show topics. And when the time is right, Fez starts posting on the board. However, it isn't Fez entering our world... IT'S THE BOARD ENTERING THE SHOW'S WORLD. Now we are all players in a massive cringe radio bit!

So that's what I think. Why are they doing this? Why can't they just do plain old happy-go-lucky drive by fun radio? Here's why: Satellite isn't terrestrial. There aren't millions channel surfers and commuters stumbling across the show. Ron and Fez have to maximize retention of their existing listeners and galvanize them into talking about the show with others. DRAMA accomplishes this. Sure, there's comedy too, but the brilliance of the show is its ability to decimate the line between bit and reality.

This is the best show ever. And we're lucky to be a part of it.

No, they don't.

The leadership feels "free speech" trumps being friends with the show.

Like I've said, it's up to the ownership and admins to have this place project the image they want. If their philosophy is to let everyone say whatever they want, we can't do a thing.

I'll say it to them, too.

The board simply cannot go back to what it was, period. The only way to do that would be to travel back in time at least 4-5 years and cap the registration so nobody else could join. There's not a message board anywhere that has ongoing open signups that stays the same compared to how it was when it was at least relatively new and had a much smaller core group of posters. As boards get more popular, you get a lot more people from a lot more places, plus many of the originals cycle out for a variety of reasons. That's just how it is.

And like PanterA pointed out, prior to this current call to get tough on people attacking the show, the most common complaint (and we still see it) is that the mods are "power hungry" and "abuse their powers" and "censorship" and so on and so forth. Locking any thread and banning any poster that goes after the show or people on it is EXACTLY THAT. Talk about doing a 180. Plus we always hear the complaints about things being "too subjective"...you want to talk subjective, talk about trying to figure out what's over the line in terms of someone talking about the show. What counts as "too negative" or attacking? We obviously have some real clear examples of going too far, but then the line gets VERY blurry as to what is worthy of being shut out for being too negative.

And now we're supposed to be beholden to the people on the show? Less than a month ago the "problem" was that were were already too beholden to the whims of the hosts. Which is it?!? All of these complaints essentially cancel them out. The gripes one month completely contradict those the next. As it was said, this is totally lose-lose.

For the most part, trolls that are clearly here just to attack people as cruelly as possible are given the boot pretty quickly. We like to give people that aren't, or obvious spammers, a chance to change people's minds even if they made a crappy first impression. One of the great things about so many fans being here who love the show is that most of them are at the ready to challenge or take on anyone who feels the need to puff their chests by attacking people on the show or associated with it. It's abundantly clear to anyone viewing the site that the majority of people disagree with those type of posters and sentiments are and always willing to take them on. If anyone on the show, Ron and Fez included, think that most of the people here are against them or seriously out to attack them, they're wrong. Flat out. A lot of times people don[t get banned right away for being trolls because so many people here step to the plate to set their bullshit straight. If you seriously want me to ban anyone who attacks the show or the people on it, I'll do it. Happily. Start a poll and if the majority vote yes, boom, I'll ban anyone and everyone who has even just the slightest hint of negativity towards the show and the people on it. Then I'll sit back and wait for the inevitable complaints that I'm abusing my power and censoring and trampling free speech.

Gvac, if you seriously want this, should I ban Chuck right now since Fez went off on him on the show? What about toiletcrusher and Wumpus and lleeder and ADF? I guess I should technically ban Dave and Casey, too, since Fez has gotten so worked up over them and they post here.

Yes, it is. You're honestly thinking this through. The idea of "what's harmful to the show" is completely subjective, which is apparently something you constantly rail about with the staff here, but now it's OK.

I'm not pointing this out to attack you...I'm honestly confused. One idea totally contradicts the other. Here's what I added to the end of my last post upon further thought:

What is the line? What constitutes "being harmful to the show?" Isn't anyone who gets Fez all worked up technically "harming the show?"

No, they don't.

The leadership feels "free speech" trumps being friends with the show.

Like I've said, it's up to the ownership and admins to have this place project the image they want. If their philosophy is to let everyone say whatever they want, we can't do a thing.

Honestly, the biggest mistake I've made in recent times is to protect "unpopular opinions" at your urging. While it is important to not shout down people because they have complaints, it's become clear that some of those people (including one you championed) were merely trolls shouting their opinions over and over to get a reaction. This place is not and has never been a place where positivity is enforced, but it's clear that we do need to crack down on some of the trolling.

I owe every member of this board an apology. For at least the last month, real life has prevented me from being the presence on this board that I have always strived to be. Add to that the fact that Jon and Bobby have been non-entities of late, and you see that there hasn't been an effective Captain. There really hasn't been the moderation of this place that is necessary. I spent most of last weekend off the board to spend time with my family and returned to find people threatening each other, personal attacks and rampant trolling. The fact that Hottub is targeted as an overbearing mod is a laugh to me, because he's been the one doing the most to clean this place up.

Change is coming. Bank on it.

So Chuck, false call or not, doesn't fall under the first? Fez apparently doesn't like the type of attention Chuck has shown to him and made that abundantly clear. By what you seem to be suggesting, shouldn't he be banned?

The line is also blurred by how much of the show members' personal lives are ON the show. That doesn't leave us with too many options if we're really going to crack down on this. You basically have to ban people for going off on things that the show went off on. How is that fair?

Plus the only "ammo" people have to go on regarding personal lives and families comes from the show itself. That's the trickiest area. It's essntially people commenting on a part of the show. Obviously, people can clearly go way too far, but then you have the very murkey middle area where it's hard to tell what counts as too far and what doesn't. The only true effective way to cut that out would is if the show dropped those topics. If they want to keep going to that well, people will talk about it and it's not always going to be positive, just like any other topic brought up on the show.

That guy got a ton of warnings and chances to knock it off or tone it down. There was nothing "prompt" about his being permanantly banned.

Honestly, this is another contradiction...why are we now supposed to wanr these people? On just the last page you were semeingly pushing for banning anyone who went after people on the show or their families. Now we're supposed to warn them and let it play out and figure out if it's a work or not?

He actually was a member here before all that started.
He was warned explicitly more than once about his behavior. Sadly I gave him extra "slack" so it was clear I wasn't out to get him for his opinions.

You're going to refuse to accept it, but that's simply how it is. If we make clear rules along what you've been implying the last couple pages, pretty much all the people I listed hypothetically on the last page get banned because a host on the show thinks that he has or had a problem with them.

People want attention.
The board needs to ignore trolls, not confront them and continue debating someone who is only interested in posting negative rants.
The show needs to ignore negative callers (especially radio shark, just hang up and don't comment on his never funny calls), and should focus attention on positive posters and callers. People call in to bust Fez's balls because he reacts.
Have a caller of the day/week, poster of the week. Stupid bits that will encourage people to be positive. Demanding a certain behavior never works, the desired behavior must be rewarded, while the negative behavior is ignored.
Speaking for myself, I appreciate the work Mikeyboy must put in to keep the board running. Mikeyboy for EP, at least it's a respected profession.

I don't get why if you are constantly criticizing this place why you stay. The majority of your posts are either bitching out the mods or inside jokes with your e-friends.

Then, when someone calls you out, you either claim we're stalking you (newsflash: hard to stalk when you're all over the fucking board, it's like playing hide and seek with someone who's 500 pounds) OR the people who dare question you are "part of the problem".

Blind acceptance of rules is absurd.

When something is not right, you speak up.

You leap from one extreme to another.

You talk about this place as if it's a complete wreck, then drop statements like the one above as if anyone who doesn't think the same is just "blindly accepting."

Everyone should bring up things they think can be made better, but we're now seeing the complaints directly contradicting the previous ones. There's seemingly no way to make anyone happy. If we crack down, we're abusing our "power." If we don't, we're letting this place go to shit. There is a middle ground, but it's the kind of necessary subjective, case-by-case situation that you apparently can't stand.

When has the show ever withheld embarrassing personal information?

(other than Fez's secret)

his secret is embarrassing? :glurps:


no wonder he won't share it.

Another question - why are threads that are locked left out in the open? Shouldn't they be moved to the Phantom Zone or something?

Styckx for mod. Seriously. 1 or 2 warnings, then have a designated banning account to ban the offender. That way your avoid reeshy esque threats.

I mean, Mike, "Knock it off" has become an rf.net cliche.

That's often how things used to be. We tried to stick to the "2 warnings and you're out" system but that just lead to people flipping out about "power abuse."

It's ridiculous how cyclical so much of this is. What people thought was the worst thing in the world several years ago is now the solution when at the time people were bemoaning the lack of an ability to "express themselves."

Mikeyboy made a comment a few weeks ago about a few threads I was bitching about. Mentioned something like "our users jumped on them". Sometimes I don't think this is done to the degree it should be for fear of moderation of something they will say. If someones being a complete, pompus, peice of shit asshole, looking for a reaction, let the rules slide and let them get destroyed, name calling, insults, you name it.

Example: Louis Binetti. That shit was nipped in the ass with ruthlessness. The rules were "thrown away" for a time and he just everything he was looking for and then some.

As for giving a shit about what someone else thinks because of a ban? Fuck em, let them cry. Hell spoon got banned and became a .net martyr for a week because of it. People had fun with it, some bitched, but in the end did it really effect anything in the long run? Hell, he was a popular member, don't think so many people would give a shit if a dick, troll, or a person generally disliked gets vacation time.

In theory, that final paragraph makes sense.

In reality, it's been pretty much the opposite of that.

Though I think we do already let posters go after someone who is going out of their way to be a heel. That's why the need for insta-ban isn't seen as being necessary since most of the people here know an obvious troll when they see them and give them what fer.

It'll all work out. It always does. Just a little less stomping on camp fires before you even see smoke. This doesn't have that FBA "out of control" vibe to it here. If anyone wants to speak about over moderation only need to remember how that place was ran during its final year.

Ha!

I should have said "Blind acceptance of ambiguous rules that vary from moderator to moderator."

I stand corrected!

Mikeyboy should be the rule maker. The mods should follow his "guidelines", and if they overstep, he can reverse the banning or whatever. But I think there should be one person totally in charge and the other mods just keeping his rules in place.

That eliminates all gray area, too. Whatever mikeyboy says goes.

Honestly, the biggest mistake I've made in recent times is to protect "unpopular opinions" at your urging. While it is important to not shout down people because they have complaints, it's become clear that some of those people (including one you championed) were merely trolls shouting their opinions over and over to get a reaction. This place is not and has never been a place where positivity is enforced, but it's clear that we do need to crack down on some of the trolling.

I owe every member of this board an apology. For at least the last month, real life has prevented me from being the presence on this board that I have always strived to be. Add to that the fact that Jon and Bobby have been non-entities of late, and you see that there hasn't been an effective Captain. There really hasn't been the moderation of this place that is necessary. I spent most of last weekend off the board to spend time with my family and returned to find people threatening each other, personal attacks and rampant trolling. The fact that Hottub is targeted as an overbearing mod is a laugh to me, because he's been the one doing the most to clean this place up.

Change is coming. Bank on it.

Mikeyboy, in my opinion, you have been nothing but the perfect Admin; I couldn't image anyone doing a better job than you. you care about the board, the show and mostly you care about everybody getting treated fairly.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Negativity is not the problem, it is negativity done solely to incite and antagonize other board members and show staff.actually any negativity is not wanted. If I was running things with the backing of the members I would ban everyone I thought bad mouthed the show.

Look if you don't like Fezs views on gay marrage, come on in and tell him why you disagree, but once you start with name calling or "these are reasons why I don't listen to the show..." then you know what? Take a hike. This is a site for fans. And the other members of this board don't start with the whole nazi bit. That was the way it was, and the way it should be.

Then maybe other will start to respect the board staff and know that we are all here for the same reason. We love listening to the ron and fez show.
