While I agree that some responses are a little harsh I really have no issue with what happened to Justin. What some of you may not know is he didn't even own a cub, he was a wheel horse guy and he admitted the only way he'd own a cub is if someone gave it to him. So what was he doing here? I think he was a troll looking to start problems.

or just a kid seeking attention...

Well I know I'm new but I thought some might want to know what a new person thought. I've read all the threads and posts, and re-read all of it (before I became a member) and I guess I'm just an old fart that likes to say his two cents so here it is. Personally I think that, even though he was somewhat wrong, to me it looked like there was certain people that started it and fueled the fire, and he was trying to defend himself. Because he sure didn't have a lot of support, and I wish I was here sooner. But it looked like some people were purposefully getting Justin mad, which to some would make him look bad and so others would want him gone. Now the one thing I've just never figured out, is why where you guys being rude to him? (again in my eyes) If it was because he was saying wrong stuff, then instead of making a 3 page "pi$$ing match" just delete the posts that he made and tell him why they were deleted nicely, and move on. But if it was because you just "hated" him (not saying anyone was) but then you should be ashamed. You don't even know the kid, and I doubt many people even talked to him (called him I mean) or wanted to for that matter. He may be a kid but they will understand, you just have to show them love. I know I don't listen to many people if they are rude. But, before I retired I worked with a lot of young men and women, and even though there are times were you just want to start yelling, you have to remember they are young, and I'm sure we all remember our pasts. But show them love, show them love. Please, stop being rude, because in my eyes you were being rude.

But that's all I got to say, I got my "old fart two cents" out.

Sorry if I offended anyone, I did not intend to, but I had to say what I said, whether you agree or not. Thanks - Travis

To me he seems like an insecure kid and wanting attention like a lot of us in out youth, I personally tried to give him helpful answers.
We had a couple of pm's back/forth, and I gave him Gr. fatherly advice.
The thing that interests me is usually young ppl who like mechanical things are not "bad" kids like intercity gang types with no parental supervision or respect for human life.
I sure hope he finds a good mentor who he looks up to and can put him on the path to success.

I agree with you George, but remember that none of us actually know him. He may be a kid that likes working on stuff, But there are a LOT of kids in this world that have a hard life if you know what I mean, and they don't know what to do. Whether they are smart or not. Some kids just cant undderstand stuff like adults can, and there are adults that still dont understand stuff. We are all humans. Maybe there's a part of justin that we don't know about because he didn't want people to know. Again, ya never know.

The thing is he did not follow the rules that keep this forum from turning into Facebook or something like that. He was kicked out before and given a second chance but still did not follow the rules. If he wanted a multi brand multi topic garden tractor page there are several of those out there. I might not agree with every rule this or other pages have but I abide by them because I am a guest of the operators of the board.

Being a mod on one of these boards can be a big pain in the rear especially if you are constantly dealing with the same problems over and over. Maybe things could have been handled differently but how many chances do you give a person before you make a decision for the betterment of the whole group.

I think you are right. The brakes are about to come on.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Hence why I think some of us asked for pics of the fleet he has in his welcome thread That, and well, CUBS!!!
