Title: I've heard rumours...
Post by: sumner7 on January 05, 2005, 01:54:27 AM
...that JonoPike is to be banned from these forums.

I think it's a disgrace. When will people learn to appreciate his wit and good sense of humour????

He does have one. If you ever meet the guy, you will see that he is very funny.

Sounds like this is something between Jono and the moderators ?

Jono was banned.  He invited it repeatedly so I granted his Christmas wish (his avatar read "ban me".) I'm sure you helped.  It has nothing to do with you, though after your continuing annoying habits (this thread and opening multiple whiny threads about the avatars), you're welcome to join him (if you're not him that is).

I am running out of rope as of late, so the amount I'll give you to hang yourself with is getting very short.

Be quiet Wayne. Stop this victimising NOW!!!

And btw, I only made 1 more thread about the avatars.

Erm, that's not going to help your case.  Remember that Wayne et al hold sway here and it pays to respect that.

As I've said before, a deliberately provocative attitude isn't going to win sympathy so if you do post something that gets someone's fur raised the best thing to do is to apologise for any offence caused and try to keep it in mind for the future.

There's a very fine line between a thought provoking post and something which might be interpreted as provocative and I'm sure we've all overstepped the mark before but if I offend someone because of something I say then I like to think that I'd be big enough to apologise after.  I hold the same attitude in both my personal and professional lives.  I think that most of us here share the same attitude.

Fair point PMC, but I think Wayne should be doing the apologising for the way he is portraying me and the way he is speaking to me. Fair enough, he is webmaster, but it doesn't give him the right to go around victimising people. There are things that I did on this site a YEAR ago that just haven't been forgiven by some people. I apologised for it, so let's leave it at that, and stop moaning at me for no reason.

I don't want to do this subject to death, but this is an issue that you need to communicate directly with Wayne about and present your side of the story to him instead of saying your piece in public.

If JonoPike is banned then this is also an issue between the moderators and Jono himself.  If you want to take issue on his behalf then fine, but it's a private thing that shouldn't be aired here IMHO.

A rumour?! You nitwit, of course you know it's true, you were THERE! Personally, i back Wayne decision to ban JonoPike. He only came on here to damage my reputation (and he has), and i am no going to have to go down that road thanks to him. It has been a long time coming this banning in my opinion.
