Folks, a couple of topics were locked, and Little Joe Samson has been banned, I think for obvious reasons. He has been quite upset recently I believe because of a sick friend. Despite this there was no excuse for the tone of language that was used in some of the threads.
This action was not taken lightly, and it certainly gives me no pleasure at all, however I believed it necessary in order to keep the peace.
Clearly Little Joe is free to email Adam once he has settled down to request reinstatement if in fact he still wishes to be a member

Can we call it "sin-bin" rather than "ban?" Trauma can lead to odd behaviour, as can absence of kindness.
As Stevelegh says, I hope things work out for him.

Well i have to say that the bloke deserved to be kicked out i mean that Religion and Politics thread was a bit of well intended fun started by someone who has two lovely funny kids doing something delightfull and innocent and this bloke starts ranting like a maniac and turns it into some deranged attack on his fellow forum members who come from all walks of life with just the bond of love for harmonica to bring them together.
I have had and still do have more than my fair share of truma and tragedy in my life but that has'nt turned me into an angry confrontationalist so he has NO excuse.

Aside from his actions during the past couple of days, he seemed like a decent guy who had some friends hit a patch of bad luck.

Bottom line is we all got sh!t to get upset about.
The rants he came up with weren't stable, granted. He's not a happy guy right now and he may have good reason. Lets just hope it all works out OK for the guy.
LJS: Thoughts and prayers mate. Get yourself sorted and I feel confident you'll be welcomed back with open arms.
God bless.

you can visit him at his web site. it's some sort of political blog thingy. i think he does amusing cartoons too. i like him personally, even if he did call us randians. it took me a day or so before i figured out what a randian is. then i remembered author ayn rand (atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, etc.).......oh well..
