So, I'm just curious to why TNFrank and NOD were banned now, because this Sandy88 person keeps going on and on has gotten away with it for a long time. Is there like some secret word you need to say and you can stay no matter what? At least NOD posted good things at times, and at least TNFrank wasn't attacking people based on things he claims he knows.
I think if TNFrank hadn't childishly deleted his posts he'd still be here. As for NOD, he was over the top in his stalking of TNFrank.He was violating forum creed. Sandy 88 seems to know just how far to push it without getting his hand smacked. If he posted more,he'd be gone too.
Dude, stalking or not, Sandy insults people all of the time, and that is an issue. It's kind of annoying that's allowed here...we ban TNFrank because he deleted posts? Well, that seems a little odd, ban a guy for removing his embarrassment trigger but keep a guy who makes false statements and insults others? Real nice.
So you don't misunderstand me,I'm not defending Sandy88. You're right. He's kind of a guerrilla troll. In and out fast. As for TNFrank,he didn't just delete some posts, he deleted all of them. Do I think he should have been banned? Well,it's not my forum to make that decision.
Zack,I missed the offending post. I'm sure it was a doozy. I don't consider Sandy88 a forum member who contributes one iota of good to this forum. But that is Adam's call. I just ignore everything he says.

I find it easy to ignore Sandy88. He just makes stupid comments. Frank was harder to ignore because he wanted something but couldn't be satisfied. ----------

Please people - if you don't like people's posts, just don't read them. Every time Adam has to ban someone it reflects badly on all of us, creates work for him, creates yet another post-storm, and makes defining what is and isn't OK more difficult.
You learn whose posts are likely to be of interest to you, and whose are better to ignore. It isn't worth the energy to do anything else. ---------- /Greg
Self-censorship, in the form of self-control. As Mr. Heumann has said, just don't read them. That is far preferable to heavy-handed oversight by Moderators or a site owner. If you don't like what someone says, just don't read their posts. Simple.
Greg, I agree for the most part about skipping over certain posts. If the comments had been about the playing I wouldn't have said anything, but he was making remarks about Christelle's sexuality.
Tuckster, I didn't assume that, but still, good for him for deleting them. That's HIS choice.
Nacoran, he has insulted me, Brandon, Buddha (insulting/threatening), and Christelle. That's all he does is attack people. Maybe there should be an ignore function, because I just don't need to see his posts.
Yeah really Greg! In life you always hear some dumbass say and/or do something you don't like. If its bad enough you should get involved, but this is an online forum about playing the harp. No one is 100% perfect and no one is 100% dumbass! We all can learn something from everyone, but if something or someone bothers you just don't pay any attention to it!
Maybe these things can work out like woodshedding techniques on dealing better with other BS in our lives. I really do have a string around my finger that reminds me to shut up.
"if you don't like people's posts, just don't read them",..an that's fine,. But the new members don't know who to ignore an when they read about him making remarks about Christelle's sexuality. They may leave an never come back ! ---------- Simply Unique Kustom Mic's By Rharley
"Greg, I agree for the most part about skipping over certain posts. If the comments had been about the playing I wouldn't have said anything, but he was making remarks about Christelle's sexuality."
How dare you delete my post and then lie about it. I posted nothing about Christelle's sexuality, perhaps you should look up the word.
Zack, how did I threaten Chris? Is this a complete joke? He threatened ME and got warned for such behavior. Don't sully my name, and don't sully the board with topics calling for the banning of anyone you don't like. ---------- WORLD CLASS HARMONICA PLAYER
Well,Im of the thinking.. when in a forum/chat it is always better to use good etiquette. & can give constructive criticism with out offending. Thats why its called "constructive". There really is no need to be mean,rude or insultive. Ifyouve read any of my post's..you'll see what Im talking about. Granted there are tymes We all would like to just blow up & say the "wrong" thing.. but there is always a good way to say what your thinking. And besides,it makes you look all the more better ;) Ok,so..thats my 2 cents.
Oh shit. Here we go again. Y'all are puttin a lot of effort and energy adding your $0.02 worth, when you could be talking about and answering more blues harmonica related questions -- and ignoring the chaff like this.
---------- The more I learn about harmonica, the more I learn how much more there is to learn.
some posts of members are just a reflection of their personality-if these people offend you turn a blind eye to their post-if you retaliate,it just adds fuel to their fire-if you ignore them they will find some other hornets nest to stir up

@harpdude61: that's awesome! I had no idea Sonny and Brownie were in The Jerk - I haven't watched it for ages. Thanks for pointing that out. You were right: something good has come out of this.
Sandy, I saved copies of the thread, so don't even start.
Zack, for the record, I'm not sure any of the exchange with Buddha got deleted, but I do remember them.
Sandy, you seem bent on attacking people and I haven't seen you participating in a useful way in any conversation. (I butt heads with Buddha from time to time, but he posts all sorts of useful stuff too.) Can I ask, why do you come here? You claim in your tag to be a world class harmonica, but you don't share your playing. You don't impart wisdom. You don't seem to form friendships. If all you are doing is reading threads and posting antagonistic comments, might I suggest that you cut your activities in half and just read?
