I don't take to kindly to threats of being banned with undocumented rules.

He was repeating a sentence over and over again in one of his posts like so


I like bananas cause they have no bones!

I like bananas cause they have no bones!

I like bananas cause they have no bones!

I like bananas cause they have no bones!

Nothing really to have a hissy fit over. I am sure a mod just didn't like what he was saying, and had to single him out for some sillyness..

FWIW, I spent around an hour on IRC explaining the logic behind the warning to you, but you simply weren't willing to listen. Secondly, there's a difference between a threat and a warning. Thirdly, there's a difference between disagreeing with a rule and not knowing the rule.

Frankly, I think you're wildly overreacting, but do what you like.

I don't really see anything worse in MadMacs repeating the same thing over and over in a post than any of the following examples:

9 useless threads (and these were just the ones that actually got locked).

It would be "nice" if the mods and admins here at least practiced a little even-handedness with everyone. There's no justification for, banning/threatening to ban/warning to ban, anyone for the same sort of posts as others who never seem to be. You will also note that the majority of the above posts are from the exact same group of members here.

I won't even address the ca$h issue, nor do I need a re-explanation of why my old user name was banned. I simply don't care (that much).

LOL!

Picking on Mike is too easy. He is acting so childish... (and he is older than me )
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.
