If no, they calm down, you won't be banned. If yes, might as well delete your account now.

Thank you..You said it just as well as I could.

ok, i tried to stay quiet on another matter that has been brought to light on this thread...

Mods,

use it once in a while... please?

As I said above, that was Fuggers call not mine and I had nothing to do with it.
I can understand why he did it at the time but I do agree with you that it had the wrong effect and I have said that to him.
Had it been my call I'd have banned the guy, emailed his company and told them he was no longer welcome on the site and done deal.

No drama but preemptive bannings are ludicrous. I guarantee some of those members that were banned had no intention of coming over here to be dicks.

My thoughts exactly. If it was Vincent acting on his own, then there is no need to ban the company as a whole. If he was speaking on behalf of the company, than i can understand the B P ban.

If it was as bad as you guys are saying it is, I hope all the info was sent to B P.

**wondergod** · 07-26-2009, 12:26 PM

Fugger,

I think everyone can get over the bannings. I mean if they were bashing your site and posting inappropriate pictures then its understood. If you felt it necessary to do pre-emptive bans on possible troublemakers so be it.

However filtering a companies name/product is just low IMHO. Especially when its a company that has brought valuable products to all of our lives/hobbies. That and its mentioned in every other post in the LC forum.

Your treading a slippery slope for filtering out things you don't like/agree with. Where will it end? Please just remove the itspower filter so we can move on.

Thanks.

Sorry for the ninja edit

You think they are ludricous and thats your right to do so but what I saw differs with your view on things and since you are a member at RRR maybe that speaks to why you appear to be so interested in this thread.
Again, maybe thats your agenda for being here, maybe not.
And please tell me how you know what any individual will or will not do? Do you read minds? No, and neither do I.
My actions were taken because of the posts of those individuals not on any feeling I had.
Had I not seen hate in their posts then they wouldn't have been added to the "list" ..
It wasn't arbitrary and it wasn't everyone on his site as is obvious as you are still here as are many others.

dont worry ive sent him a 2 MB email asking him about it. 99.5% of the email are images of the RRR's racist and bigot ramblings

In my experience he isn't very quick on answering emails. Sent him an email months ago and still got no reply

I don't get it. That's just doing the same type of nonsense we're complaining about others doing. Fugger has already said he will address the issue with Vincent. Why can't we just leave it at that?

I'm a member of lots of forums doesnt mean I agree with everything said or posted on them , this one included. I only interjected myself in this thread when people started to jump on Linus for questioning the banning and censorship of of a manufacturer.
You shouldnt have to swear allegiance to XS to be member here.

**stangracin3** · 07-26-2009, 12:56 PM

that last post was just a joke lol

**kinghong1970** · 07-26-2009, 12:59 PM

Do you think everybody over there are a bunch of sheeple waiting to do his bidding?

**kinghong1970** · 07-26-2009, 01:12 PM

so what's going to satisfy you brewer?
seems you've got a rebuttal for every single statement...

you may have felt that the mods have "overreacted" and many also voiced this opinion... and they've responded to the community... fine... done... what else?
