You've never been banned.

Yorke,

It's obvious that you're hurt that you lost your playground buddy, but it's also becoming clear that you weren't just after some retrospection.

This last post makes it pretty clear that you wish to extract some revenge.
Why else would you threaten to hurt the sites advertising revenue?

You need to grow up.    Your BFF got banned.   

Personally, I hope BH comes back because he does have a LOT to offer.  But that is not up to me.

In the mean time, you really need to get over it and quit trying to stir drama or exact a price.

I'll refer back to my comment about folks either giving me too much credit, or not enough.

As far as extracting some sort of revenge on the forum, that's hardly the case. If you re-read what I said, I clearly state that I had considered purchasing add space and will likely consider it again at some point. My comments were more of a suggestion that KFhunter's comments could easily be taken out of context and shown to be anti advertiser/sponsor. Think of it as a teachable moment for all involved!

I think I'll go back to the guns and ammo section where I belong before this dumpster fire gets any more out of hand.   I can't think of a better way to sum up my actual views and opinions on this than I already did earlier in this thread, I love the internet. Happy New Years every one! 

To carry over Boneaddict's playground analogy, when you understand the playground, you look at the games a little differently. Social media is a fascinating social experiment if you sit back and watch.

Good choice to head back to guns and ammo york.

This site can't afford to lose another damn knowledgeable gun guru like yourself. Losing 2 was bad enough.

Regarding biggerhammer:
I bought good items from hammer, I have asked hammer questions and was given good information that helped, and I miss reading hammer's informative posts. I didn't want to see hammer perma banned but he repeatedly violated the rules even after being warned of the consequences. Only one person is responsible for hammer getting banned, that person was hammer himself. We've allowed members who had been perma banned back on the forum and it has worked out, hammer is welcome to give it another shot if he wishes, it's up to him?

Regarding sharkbait:
Sharkbait was warned, he broke rules anyway so he was banned. His ban will expire and he is welcome back, but if he returns and breaks the rules again the next ban will be longer, that's how the rules work. He himself is in complete control of his presence on this forum.

Regarding Instigators:
This has been discussed at length by the moderator team. I have decided that anyone who clearly "in the opinion of the moderator team" purposefully makes instigating comments that directly result in the banning of another member, the instigator will also be banned. This is a new rule so we won't go back in time and hand out bans, that wouldn't be fair, but from this day forward this rule will be enforced!

off with the moderator hat...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

Baloney.

You directly threatened to contact sponsors.    That is not a teachable moment, that is a threat.  A petty threat at that.

You're trolling, and you're trying to squirm out of it by twisting words.

I don't give a rip what board you go back to, but it is just plain chicken to troll the mods, twist their words and then protest your innocence.

Really only lost one. One can come back in 4 days.

[Bob33]

How about we put our differences aside for now and end the year on a positive note.

Happy New Years to all of you. I hope it's one of health and joy, and that the critters you kill are so big you don't have to lie about them.

This looks like a perfect example of bearpaw's new rule

I understand that and not questioning the reasons they got banned. I just enjoyed their gun knowledge and was happy to learn and see new things from them.

It's just a simple example of how quickly a poorly worded or thought out comment can have a wide reaching ripple effect. There's always more to the iceberg than what you see. That should be accounted for before you speak.

Troll isn't a well defined term but it seems moderately appropriate here. I do prefer to think of it as a creative reconstruction of the facts presented though instead of simply twisting words. My way makes it sound more PC.

Don't take anything personally. I'm not sure what it was that brought out such a personal response from you but it wasn't my intention. I didn't think you had any personal stake in the matter but perhaps you do and I'm just not aware of it. And I never proclaimed any innocence. Likewise, Mods are just regular forum members with some blue squares under their screen name. That and they know the secret hand shake. I never get to know the secret hand shake. Maybe that's why I'm so lonely and searching for the acceptance of strangers on the internet. I'll go back to the casual encounters section of Craigslist for that I guess....

Since your're here, how's it look for the elk hunt next month? I sent you an email last week but I figured you're out actually working or trying to enjoy a few days off.
