JJ & Rambo:
IF you ever create something of your own (like SC and this board) THEN you might understand having a protective attitude towards it. The last I checked neither of you are a moderator (thankfully so) and nowhere do I see you continuing to fund this board after your initial purchase of SC.
If the people who are the moderators feel that the person in question is too 'insert your term of choice here' to follow the rules (and warnings) they have laid out and they want him/her gone, that is their perogative.
I didn't go looking for the reason (or facts as JJ calls it) why he was banned becaus is was NOT my business. Nor should it be yours unless you are the same type of person and are worried about it happening to you. As for JJ calling me Gestapo, Stalinist Purger, and lynch mob (inciter?) for not wanting 'justice' for the guy I ask you where on this board does it state he is entitled to a trial by his peers? This is a BBS system, created, funded, and maintained by Fury Software and they alone have the right to run it in a way of THEIR choosing. According to you, and others, he was banned for ignoring a warning about his behavior given to him by a moderator.
Think of it this way:
A regular at the local tavern started getting obnoxious and rude to the other patrons for whatever reason. The bartender asks him to settle down. He refuses and gets even louder. The bartender kicks him out and denies him the PRIVELEDGE, not a right mind you, of returning to the tavern.
JJ, how would you feel if I trashed (in a non-criminal way) your 'Extremely Small Business' and continued to do so even after you asked me to stop?
Where is the problem?
Is it with the moderators or those opposed to moderating?
My 'pie-hole' is now shut on this matter. Have a nice day
