It's pretty ridiculous he was banned in my opinion..
Thanks for sharing.
..will saying that get ME banned?
Yes - and given what you did to get your first warning, you should already understand that.
Is this the Third Reich or Soviet Russia? I guess we'll see.
Neither - it's an Internet message board that requests that members don't attack each other. He agreed to that when he signed up, as did you. It is not too much to ask that members engage in actual debate rather than juvenile rants and name calling. It's not that difficult to do.
But telling someone to "quit being an a-hole" isn't the same as calling them an "a-hole."
No one said it was. On the other hand, no one said he was banned for that, either. Take a moment to read not only that particular post, but his posts in this thread and some others, and you'll see the personal attacks.
Like usual people gang up on one person on this board anytime someone has a different opinion or anything remotely negative. I mean you call this board friendly and open, but look how many people told him good riddance and see you later and don't let the door hit you. You ban him because he wasn't being civil but look how the rest act. Absolutely ridiculous.
So find another board. If you don't like it, don't stay. Most people, when placing their hand on a hot stove, know enough to take their hand off. What is ridiculous is subjecting yourself day-after-day to an Internet message board that you don't enjoy.
