I say keep him out until the Bengals lose, or...
IF the Bengals win the Super Bowl., THEN let Fred come back and celebrate with us.
Until then... the superstitious part of me says keep him out! :)
We don't need that drama here!
Some people say he was just playing Devil's Advocate but he was intentionally starting drama.
He'd post lies to bash me and other people and, even if called out and proven to be a liar, he'd post a link that he claimed proved that he wasn't a liar when the link took you to a post that proved that he was lying.
I don't want to have to constantly deal with his lies and drama again.

He is who he is. F that guy. He's a a troll and antagonist. You guys are mistaking any activity on the board for good activity. I know 4 former regular posters on this and the former board who refuse to participate in this one explicitly due to Fred being a member. He's a clown shoe and deserves to have been removed. Not the first Bengals board Fred's been booted from, either.
No question he was given several.minor bans and warnings. Go read "The scorpion and the frog". You cannot change someone's nature. His nature is to feed off of negative energy toward himself by saying dumb things and provoking people. Why invite that trash behavior back?
His lies and trolling make the board less fun. Even if some people like him, is that enough to sacrifice how other people enjoy the board?
And his behavior has been enough to get him BANNED (and suspended) multiple times, which I thought banned meant that he was gone for good, but somehow he has come back.

Don’t be so sensitive.This Bengals board is the best.Let Fred enjoy the ride.
For example, I take pride in how no one treats me like a charity case and how people like me because I have never played the victim.
Once, I called him out on his bullshit and he doubled down and said that "no one stands up to me and no one ever disagrees with me because of my situation and that they feel sorry for me."
I called him out on it and pointed out how he was just avoiding admitting he was wrong and he just stopped responding. You can't be serious with people like that.

Even if the ignore feature doesn’t work 100%, i can still skip over posts that I don’t want to read.
if it’s merely Freds borderline trolling antics, I think a ban is too severe. If he said something over the top offensive, and this is the sole basis for the ban, I will trust the mods discretion. I really like this board and don’t want it to descend into the toxic site that is ChiefsPlanet.
All this being said, Fred added character to the board, even if he could be maddening at times.
PS
Once I was able to trap him into contradicting himself in two separate threads, he stopped being an irritant to me.
I have trapped him multiple times and I agree about disagreeable speech but Fred has crossed the line and is just combative and a liar.
