Prosecutor Banned Posted: Mar 3, 2004 12:57 PM Reply

Many of you sent e-mails requesting an explanation as to why Prosecutor was banned from our forums. We read them and agree that explanation is in order.

First, please know that bp2go did NOT ban him. Rodale Inc. is responsible for banning him and this decision came after we sought advice from our legal council. The biggest reason we banned Prosecutor is because of the threats he was making to our moderator bp2go and Rodale. While Rodale respects freedom of speech and the right to express oneself, making threats, like the ones made to the moderator and Rodale, will not be tolerated.

Our forums are available to our readers because we want you to have a place to state your opinions. We do moderate them and at times remove things that are vulgar or inappropriate, but the rest of the time expression is encouraged and often creates some great discussion among readers. Rodale appreciates your concern and hopes that you will continue to visit our forums and continue to conduct yourself in a manner that is appropriate to fellow readers, our staff and the company as a whole.”

“I am proud to know this man!”

“Wow”

“The more I hear about that bunch the happier I am that I dropped that mag and never posted over there. What a bunch of losers.”

“dang boy... A nice guy like Prosecutor??

hehe... and I thought I was the only bad boy.”

“i think their moderators must get threats alot if we got an explanation by way of a cheesy form letter”

“All right, you Americans down there. What happened? I go away on spring break for a couple of days and you all get crazy again! Can't I turn my back for a brief moment? Sheesh!”

“Where'd you go for break - Hudson Bay?”

“Meet "Bad Boy" Prosecutor....

performing..... errr... BACKPACKING at Yellow River State Forest, April 2-4


(pssssst... sorry, Prosecutor. I figured mebbee we could make some money here. Split the tickets with ya, huh? lol)”

“Can't hep it grem; it's in our genes. It all goes back to that wild and crazy guy, Sam Adams.”

“I've been forwarded several of the cheesey emails this bp2go guy writes..

If they are any indication of this guy's character, and 'roundedness' -- lol.. just tell him to go on with his bad self.

A lot of us know Ed. Outspoken? yes. Blunt? yes. Out in left field? From everything I have seen, the guy is always right on target. You go boy. If you ticked off Rodale, they prolly had it coming to them.”

“Actually I was in a yurt in Vermont and trying to backcountry ski in slush.

There is a movement up here to invade and annex Vermont because they're almost as polite as we are (but much taller). LOL.”

“One question tho. How do we know that Rodale, Inc isn't a troll????”

“Killington just voted to become part of New Hampshire, so you canucks might have a crack at the rest, lol...”

“I Dont think invasion would be ferry poe light”

“Eh?”

“It's already been done.

During the Civil War, a bunch of Confederate raiders went into St. Albans from Canada, shot the place up, and robbed the bank. They all got caught by US or Canadian authorities eventually.”

“We're sorry.”

“He didn't write the letter or have anything todo with it, this time. It was the evil overlords at Rodale.”

“no one is saying he did. we do generally feel, however, that he is a tool”

“Actually I was in a yurt in Vermont...

So you broke up with the new girlfriend then?”

“Hi sarbar. So you know Steve? I remember writing you a loong time ago.”

“He's actually a pretty nice guy actually-with a thankless job. I don't like Rodale much though. Even I have gotten into trouble over there.......”

“That was the St. Alban's raid. They left from Sherbrooke/Lennoxville. BTW, when my uncle was living in Lennoxville the neighbours had a signature of Jefferson Davies from when he took refuge there. There was (is?) a plaque on the Hudson's Bay store in Montreal from the Daughters of the Confederacy marking the spot where Jefferson Davies stayed until he was deported from Canada.”

“im sure hes okay. he has standards he has to follow just like anyone else doing their job. he just seems like a dork, nonetheless”

“It's been a LONG time Towndawg! Too long!”

“Rodale never liked me either. I tried to get them interested in several ideas, and tried to get published.. they basiclaly thought I was some idiot.

Oh well. Life goes on.

But ya.. Sarbar.. thought you looked familiar.. how long you been over here??”

“Yep. Steve's an okay guy.

'Prosecutor' has flipped out before --- remember the Hat Ordeal, LOL”

“Sarbar: ya.. I feel you on that. A lot of my friends tell me the same. Hey dude.. where you been, etc.. etc..

But you know?.. It's weird.. sometimes life takes over where the fun ends, and you find yourself working a lot more than you want, and traveling a lot more than you want.

Good to see you tho. I was trying to remember where you lived and stuff. Do you hike with other TT'ers?”

“what did prosecutor say?”

“I lurk sometimes here, mostly I use BP.com to plan PNWH trips (the PNWH Posse). It's been a LONG time! Didja know I met my BF through the forums 1 1/2 years ago?”

“Tilt/Sarbar: So you guys have actually hiked with Steve?”

“i vaguely remember something about a hat. really controversial (and hence, entertaining)”

“Sarbar: koo! Well make sure you hike with us some too. Spring's coming, and we will all be planning trips soon.

You write also, don't you? Isn't that how we crossed paths before?.. Because I read some article you wrote and liked it??”

“Had to find your boyfirend on the computre, huh? By the olooks of you that is not too suprising.”

“Steve lived in WA at one point (where I live) and he helped with a design for stickers I wanted to do for our hiking group.
I have met over 60 forum users (from 3 forums) in the last 2 years!”

“OHHH im tellin, sabar is hanging out with the "bad crowd"”

“I haven't hiked with Steve, but I've been swapping bp stories and whatnot over the 'Net with him since about Feb 1998. I've seen him take a lot of nonsensical crap over the years from people who should know better.”

“But you know?.. It's weird.. sometimes life takes over where the fun ends

It wasn't life taking over, it was the corporate entity.”

“So, Bales..how would you know what I looked like? Been visiting my website everyday? If you have, whadda loser!
I met my BF as a hiking partner and I am proud of that.
Yes, TD, I had wrote an article for some guys website a couple yeras ago about hiking.”

“lol.. someone just kick bales.

Sarbar: Awesome. I love Washington. I only got to go there once (Seattle) but really really enjoyed it.”

“Don't worry about bales sarbar. He only logs on when he can think of something nasty to say. He's so dumb he thinks he's clever.”

“That is true- One would have to be a severe loser to visit your webisit even one time. Did I say I visiteed your website?”

“lol.. someone just kick bales.

Oooh, oooh, can I??”

“bales = ice tea?”

“Bales reminds me of Miss Marylou on our local forum for NW hikers..lol. She's a work of art.

If any of you ever make it to WA I am always up for a hike....I did make it out to East Coast in Novemeber and got to hike on the AT in Harpers Ferry. My BF is from VA.”

“Sarbar: hehe.. well good to meet you, again. Please keep in touch. I need to run, I have a telephone interview in about 10 mins.”

“sarbar, if u ever make it back to the east coast, look me up”

“im conufuzzled. sarbar is bp2go's old lady?”
