Seriously...

Why?!?!

Bill, I'm guessing "Raider" had been warned for other past indiscretions. Seems a bit harsh that they'd permanently ban him for a first offense...

 

I’m pretty sure he has been

 

Interesting, I’ve seen many of his posts (certainly no where near all) in other threads where I thought he was good natured - at worst direct, but not usually offensive.

 

The mods deleted the specific post that got him banned.

You guys think there's any chance of a plea deal, or "presidential pardon" for iamraiderpower? If not, I'm going to miss him...

 

Gonna hit 82K this weekend!

 

I don’t think the mods reverse a decision once it’s made.

 

Tonight, on Tacoma Spotting With Charlie...

One of my 5-year old Pioneer speakers is blown (or pretty close to it). Just ordered a new JBL component system on Amazon Prime for $85!

Spicy Mexican candy!

 

Hit 82K driving into work today!

I don't know if you know what 4/20 is, but Doylestown still smells like weed and I'm guessing it is not a coincidence!

 

My truck has been getting more than it's fair share of audio upgrades in the last couple of months. First, I replaced the Boss BV960N (with which I was dissatisfied) with a Pioneer head unit featuring Apple CarPlay and HD Radio among other things...




Then, the stars aligned and Car Audio Gods rewarded me, with $75 in Amazon gift cards and $100 in cash from family and friends for my 29th birthday; I bought a Rockford Fosgate amp and a Kicker powered sub...



Most recently, I've discovered that my my right woofer is just about blown. This woofer is part of the $110 Pioneer component system that I had installed back in 2013, along with a $130 Pioneer single-DIN head unit.

The original head unit has recently found a new home in @Jamesboy2233's '95 Taco (feel free to post a pic, James)...

I discovered that the right woofer would cut out unless the volume was above a certain level, and this was manifesting itself back when I still had the single-DIN HU.

Last night, we had sort of a neighborhood drinking night, and I got to talking with my neighbor Ryan who has helped me install three new units, a backup camera, a sub, and an amp since September 2016. I described the symptoms to Ryan, and he told me that the speaker was probably blown or pretty close to it!

Needless to say, we immediately went on Amazon Prime, and I ended up buying a JBL component system for like $85. If it comes in tomorrow like Amazon says it will, my truck should have new speakers by early afternoon!

 

Need to stop listening to Slayer and Megadeth at such high volumes!!

 

Make that Great White and Meat Loaf, LOL!

 

I love this song! Yes, this is actually 93.3 WMMR and not my iPod! It actually shows the album cover for the song being played on the radio!

 

For the longest time, the lock for the men's room door at one of my favorite bars has been broken. On Thursday night, I was there drinking with my girlfriend and some coworkers.

I went to take a leak, and the unwritten code since the bathroom lock has been broken is that you always knock if the door is closed.

I already had my thing out and was getting ready to take a piss when this middle-aged guy barges right in. I screamed "Dude!" and proceed slam the door on him.

This guy says "Lock the door, douche!"

At this point I thought the lock was broken and this guy was a newbie who wasn't aware of the "unwritten code."

Fired up by the name-calling, I told him that the lock was broken before slamming the door and taking care of business.

I then came back out and this same random older guy kept beckoning me to come into the bathroom. I am 99% sure he wanted to make nice and show me that the door did in fact lock, but I wasn't taking any chances with a drunk stranger in a bar. I ignored him and immediately went to the safety of my group, which included my boss, my girlfriend, a well-built bartender from my work who works as a gym teacher by day, and a 6'2" bouncer who also works at my bar. After the other guy left the men's room, my coworkers (one of whom bartends at this same bar), showed me that the men's room did in fact have a working lock now.

What angers me is that both the men's and the women's rooms are highly visible from everywhere in the bar, and even totally hammered this guy had no excuse not to see me go in...

I understand fully why you blocked "iamraiderpower" yesterday. However, he was somebody I really enjoyed talking to. If you opt to permanently ban him, that is your decision. However, I was wondering if you guys has an email address or something I could reach him at?
