About a week ago, I received the following email:

Subject: why did i get banned?
please explain

Yes, that was the entire email. Including the missing use of capitals and punctuation marks. So I write back:

Subject: Re: why did i get banned?
First of all, I have no idea who you are. Without emailing me a username as well, there's nothing I can do for you.
Second, I don't do the banning. The members do. So even if I knew your username I still wouldn't be able to tell you why the members voted you off. All I would be able to do is read a few of the threads you participated in and give you an *opinion* of why I think you got banned.
In very rare cases I can revert a ban. For instance when a single positive rating is all it would have taken to prevent a member from being banned, and when I hadn't rated that person myself yet. I could then simply rate that member positive to undo the ban. |

So I got an email back and apparently, he was redfieroman2 here on the forum. I remembered him from posting the, errrr..., "strange phenomena" vids here in TO/T. I figured that couldn't be the reason why he was banned so I check his ratings. Turns out he did not receive a single positive rating and almost all of his negative ratings he got were from the thread I mention here.
Today, I got this in my mail from him:

and knock whats left of you teeth out old man

Uh-huh, another very elaborate, well thought out email. 
Anyway, I guess the chance of me letting him back on after this threat is slim at best.

Even if you did meet up, I'm sure with the 100 other people behind you it wouldn't matter much
Some people are just stupid..

Your forum, your house, your rules. You need not explain it to me.

I guess he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, huh? But he's still a tool.

No one touches our Fiero Savior, period. Otherwise Fieros across the world will unite and transform into great Fiero Machines and destory him. Seriously.

He must be one of those PHDs I was referring to in another thread.

Or anyone else really. Personal attacks aren't called for in any context. Disagreements, sure..

Personally, I think there should be an indication to the member that they are about to be banned, especially for folks that are new to the forum. Might change their attitude if they knew it was coming in a few more ratings.

No, in spite of what you may believe, this is CLIFF PENNOCK'S forum.
We're only guests in his house.
We all should try to behave as one.
I'm working on it.
