Dutch, hopefully Tech's PMs satisfied you.
For any others, I've sort of talked about this a couple times in brief because it doesn't deserve much more than that. Basically (as I saw it) we had one guy who was a medium frequent poster. I didn't know him well but his posting struck me as that of someone who is bipolar (at minimum). Over time he'd posted beligerent postings, followed a couple days later with apology postings. Well, one time he got particularly beligerent and instead of recognizing that he was half a bubble off and should have been left to babble in the corner some of the guys took him on. In my opinion it was allowed to go too long before being shut down because of the results. The high posting guy you refer to was the one who "argued" with him most, his name is/was Streets. Generally a good guy (we still are email buds)who could get his back up once in a while. He and an un-named moderator got in a whizzing contest and the result was the nut case and Streets got banned..............probably appropriately. The whole incident caused a few of us to take a vacation from the site because we didn't like the way it was handled. Some came back some didn't. The ones who didn't return are sorely missed because most of them were very good contributors. Since then cooler heads have prevailed and such things aren't allowed to escalate as that situation did..............and I believe we're the better for it.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
