I just thought I'd start a thread for it since everyone is talking about it in the sports forum.

I can't say I'm surprised. I had the guy on ignore for about a year but I got tired of trying to translate the rest of the board without seeing what he wrote. What say you?

Shrug. I personally will miss him. I enjoyed reading his rants, but Im probably in the minority. Im more concerned about the direction the board is taking as a whole. I saw the exact same sort of thing happen about 15 years ago on another gator forum...but I don't have any say in the matter, and I don't want to lose what little access I have to gator discussion. So looks like I'll just have to deal.

Although quite knowledgeable about the game, his incessant negativity was quite wearing.
Also the petty nicknames applied to anyone he didn't like was juvenile. But the thing that irritated me most was the absolute refusal to call Kyle Trask anything but trash.

He played his role very well. I thought he was quite entertaining. Sometimes he posted just too much. I didn’t have time to read everything.

I know he got a week long ban for a reply he made to Ox...
Am I missing something? Is this now a long term thing?
I didn't see a thread for this in the main forum.

I think overall he brings a lot to the board and has a pretty wicked sense of humor (especially in the Saloon).
But ... he ain't for everyone, ...kind of an acquired taste.
I personally enjoy most of his posts.

One person can't determine the mood or direction of the Board. Donk didn't create the negative tone by himself, in reality life is pretty negative and Politics are ingrained in every aspect of our lives. yes, even sports.

I think Ox has good intentions and I continue to support Gatorchatter.

I don't know why or how but Donk lost his balance recently and he went too far..... sad but true.

I share your hesitation about the direction of the board. I'm very much a free speech guy regardless of the feelings that are hurt. But I have reservations as well such as cars with a big "I **** *******s" plastered across the back. So I kinda get it either way.

I freaking hated the the whole trash thing. From the start. But damn, even when he was an inspirational story and an awesome ass gator story he was still sticking to that bull****.

Obviously you missed something. Do you even read the threads in the main sports forum? Looks like Ox perma banned him

In the early years of gatorchatter nobody worked harder to grow the board than lawdonkey. He was really dedicated in bringing everyone from gsmb to chatter. That's why his reaction to the swampgas transplants were hard to understand and combined with what he believes is a third consecutive terrible hire, he lost it.
With that said, I find it hard to believe I live in a world that Sid can post on Gatorchatter and the donk is banned for life.

You speak of things before my time. I discovered gatorchatter shortly after that whole fiasco but completely unaware of it. I've pretty much been around since the beginning of the chatter so I know the just of it all. I agree he added a bunch to the board, but you can only get away with so much even when you add value. I'm thinking Aaron hernandez at the Gators (early Donk) versus Aaron hernandez at the patriots (late Donk). That may be giving too much credit, but I think you can understand my point.
