What about...permanently change his/her avatar to something really embarrassing as a third option?

Shit, don't ban me, please guys...

I don't think he's that disruptive. As long as he kayaks, I don't really care what he has to say. The only reason I really use to the internet for kayaking is to talk and share ideas about boating when I can't actually be doing it. I don't think anyone should be censored against what they want to say, as long as it's kayaking related, and the only real world result of Hugo's actions is that if I ever know who he is, that would affect how I treat him on the river, and if I would actually go kayaking with him.

I am totally 100% with Tobin... I don't think he even makes a dent in our community.

And if he does the dent adds personality like seam rust on my vanagon. I think your safe hugo... but a few more days will show for sure!!!

Let Hugo live!!! I don't like banning.

i think newtobin makes a great point. furthermore, i think the real problem is that of those who participate in the feeding frenzy to the point where banning freedom of speech or those who exercise that right is even considered.

I am just waiting for someone to register 14 anonymous names to vote...

I am not going to do it!  I think everyone can agree I cause enough trouble without adding fuel to this fire.  I guess by even suggesting it I added fuel to the fire, but I thought it was an amusing suggestion.

I really agree with Justin, though.  Messing with river warnings is a legitimate reason for expulsion...

My 2 cents...

Banning should be reserved for those who violate basic moral standards, ie deleting river warnings, sleeping with others wives then posting the video...   You know, serious offenses.  LOL.   Giving someone shit for being a republican, making fun of one another and calling people out on BS,  need not apply. 

I find his posts to be truthfull as he sees it, most likely  he uses it as an outlet for fear of being judged for what he really thinks.  Do i agree with him, not always... do believe he goes too far sometimes? yes.    But I also believe stirring of the pot is healthy, it keeps people real, it demands rebuttal,  and  ignites discussion.

Flame the fires, just stay away from the married women

Just to make sure that it does not go down that road, it is not Hugo the great that is messing with the river warnings.  After all, Hugo really loves safety...

What if we don't post the video? 

Who the heck cares?  If hugo wants to be a jackass, then we get to exercise our fundamental right to ignore tools. 

Trolls only get play if idiots can't skip over the inflammatory posts.  If you're going to ban someone, ban the people who can't leave the troll alone.  A troll post is a single post.  And trolls can't handle being ignored. 

I haven't read a single hugo post that added anything to this forum.  At the same time, I haven't been at all bothered that he posts.  I'm sure some poeple feel that way about my posts lol

Move along. 

If I were moderator, I would BAN the people calling an admin to bitch about posts. 

LAME!!!!

Live and let live people, damn, just ignore the stupid posts. 

It's like this:  You're in the eddy above a huge horizon line.  You can see the top 10 feet of a 200 year old Cedar tree growing up from below the drop.  It sounds like a wind tunnel, or Sea-Tac's tarmac.  Fish looks over and says "I've never been here before, but it sounds like left angle is good on this one." 

What do you do?  YOU IGNORE IT and scout. 

( sorry bud, had to get one in lol )
