Wow. Who tries to post here while they have a strike? Crazy.

. How was your time off? Mine was very relaxing.

Yeah, maybe he should've just made a journal

Yeah, maybe he should've just made a journal

I'll file the minority report on this one: He could be annoying and I'm not sure I ever actually read to the end of any of his long posts, but he's an, uh, unusual character and these boards will be less interesting without him.

 

Not second-guessing whether his behavior merited his being banned, but I'm sorry to see him go.

I like you, Sqeggs.

His posts WERE a journal. You just weren’t appreciating them enough…

He hit a $115 Buy it Now of mine for Mylars on ebay

Never paid

Never responded there or via PM here (although it was read)

 

At least I can say that none of my Mylars were harmed during his "sheathing" process

Ive never been CAKed

Someone told me to take a look across the street where CAK had a couple 500 word posts "justifying" his failure to follow through on his Buy it Now purchase of this 500-MYLAR-2-mil-Mylites2-standard-Bronze-Silver-bags-Case-FREE-PRIORITY

In those posts, he claimed that the Free shipping was actually for UPS Ground and then later snail mail, with an option for Priority. My individual 500 M2 comic bag listings have always shipped USPS Priority Mail. In fact, I have never even offered any other shipping method for 500 comic sized M2s as it is not cost effective for me. Of course, all of the shipping information was provided to him in the listing, prior to his commitment to purchase.

As an aside, I have never used Standard, Parcel Post or Media mail for any comic supply shipment and I only recently started listing UPS Ground on a few items.

I met him a few times at local cons. Gave me some good deals on some magazines. definitely seems different in person than on the boards.

Kinda ditto for me too.

I get that his business practices for some were an issue, but banning him altogether seems overly harsh.

Did he deserve a strike? Yes

 

Did he deserve to be banned, going from strike 2?

 

Less tolerance from the mods I guess but yet I still see those who tip toe the line with moderation get nothing stronger than a wrist slap

 

Creating a shill account while out on (not his first) strike.....is ban-able.

The only guy I've seen come back from something like that was the guy who posted to the journals when out on a strike...because it wasn't expressly prohibited...they've since closed that loophole.

Wow. Who tries to post here while they have a strike? Crazy.

You should journal about it.

The guy was angry and had a rush of blood to his keyboard.

Give him an extra 2 months perhaps......... banning - waay to harsh.

Maybe the post at CBCS was the tipper, but plenty have posted worse on Facebook apparently (don't use it) - what's the difference.

I don't think he was ever malicious, just being, well, CAK.

Seems tough, and it would be nice to see the Mods reconsider.

If being a donkey is a bannable offense now, there's going to be about 8 people left after the cleansing.

I never liked the guy, but I'll miss him quoting posts 6 weeks old and writing a dissertation about them, after the issue has already been settled.

So basically what we have here are the crusaders and the people that will miss the entertainment value.

Does that about sum it up?

I don't think entertainment value is a good reason to keep someone around who continuously shows ignorance or purposeful disregard towards established rules, despite multiple warnings, even if he's not necessarily a bad guy at the core.

Wait what are we talking about again?

That's what I'm wondering.
