Just wondering when budster101 is going to be unbanned, its been almost a month now. May I ask what he did to get banned in the first place? Not that im trying to start anything, im just wondering.

Kevin · Oct 22, 2005, 09:45 AM

HERE HERE!

Esp considering he wouldn't be banned if it wasn't for Rob's trolling and provoking.

nredman · Oct 22, 2005, 01:50 PM

i personally think he is just as annoying as rob, then again alot of people on here annoy me but that doesn't mean they should be banned.

Randman · Oct 22, 2005, 02:19 PM

I thought he was back already in a different name.

Rolling Bones · Oct 22, 2005, 07:35 PM

He's an asshole. Should stay banned. Kevin has it reversed.

Besides he's here under another name.

No threads about other members.

5 out of 5.

Not that I can speak for Tooki and DH, but traditionally, coming back under a new name rather than obeying a ban doesn't do much to get it reversed. In fact, it usually keeps it from ever happening.

Ji Eun · Oct 22, 2005, 10:42 PM

what's his new name.... have to update my ignore list

Ya he’s a asshole, but still I thought bans where temp unless you do something really really bad. And its not a thread of another member, he is currently banned, which doesn’t make him a member

Randman · Oct 23, 2005, 09:30 AM

There are temp bans and "permanent" bands. He could come back as budster 102 or something but I think his and Rob's pissing match escalated where he was insulting and cursing in non-lounge threads.

No.

And if they banned just because someone was an asshole, half the forum would be gone.

Indeed.

But I have been trying to keep my assholness at a minimum. Who knows, maybe one day I will even ask to be let back in the PL.

bud really just had an outburst. Rob sometimes gets on people's nerves.

Even when he claims he is not trolling for flaming or personally attacking, he is.

I think budster just got sick of it, and the mods slow nature of dealing with Rob.

Randman · Oct 24, 2005, 08:10 AM

I dunno Kev. I remember quite a few posts (and not in the lounge) where Budster provoked Rob. Rob brings much of the grief on himself but Budster was pretty deserving of what he got as well.

Personally, I enjoy a little verbal jousting now and then and I fully expect to get slammed from time to time. That's fine but there's been two assholes here that crossed the line, one making racist comments about my wife (even though she's London-educated, VP of her company, a global traveler with 11 countries on business just this year, owns property and makes 6 figures annually) who I'd love to go to his house and punch him in the face. And one loser who created a spymac email address just to leave nasty comments on my website.

Personally I think he's just a bit....slow...and, as a result, sometimes has trouble controlling himself. Having said that I'd welcome him back..he does represent a significant US demographic after all.

Budster or Rob?

Kevin · Oct 24, 2005, 04:56 PM

Budster is hardly "slow"

bad_quote · Oct 24, 2005, 11:43 PM

Budster kept attacking me for no reason, and he'd get threads locked by just randomly insulting me when I hadn't even been talking to him. He was a dick. That said, I don't really care if he comes back. I just think it's great that the mods ACTUALLY banned somebody BESIDES just me. For once. Usually the only people who get banned are spammers and... me. That's it. Budster crossed the line many many many times, and DH said he would ban him 'next time he attacked me' many times also. Basically, he was on double secret probation for a very long time, and the gauntlet finally got thrown down. Big deal. Come on back Budster. You didn't need that post count anyways.
