Re: Re:
Yep when the battle over Armstrong was won, lots of things changed with some posters. Some saw that in reality Armstrong was only one bad piece of a very dark puzzle while others saw a new cleanER puzzle after Armstrong and this led to 'divergences'....
I liked MrsJohnMurphy another no nonsense approach to posting.
Anyways for those interested most of the above post on the twittermachine.
Still think Chewie's ban should be reduced. Especially in the light that not all mods were consulted after being told all were....IIRC.
42x16ss said:Don't forget that a lot of the older posters from 09-13 kind of turned on each other a little bit when WonderBoy finally faced the music. This brought a fair bit of unsettling infighting and changes in posting. Dr Mas became Dr Vortex, BroDeal turned sour, Race Radio started backing JV/Sky, Chewie started posting less outside the café, WonderLance shifted his attention (somewhat prophetically) to Sky but wasn't quite the same - these are just a few examples...Scott SoCal said:Scott SoCal said:BigMac said:For the record, bans are issued as a team - they aren't the sole initiative of the mod who announces them, so they (mod) shouldn't receive individual criticism nor be personally attacked. Letting you know in advance, as a post here has been deleted for insults aimed at a mod. We don't like giving warnings nor banning people. So, by all means, appreciate and depreciate, but in a respectful way.
Cheers.
Apparently there are active mods that aren't part of the "team." Alpe says he wasn't consulted on the Chewie ban nonsense. Chewie was fairly prolific in the Cafe so I'd imagine - if the mod team was trying to get all sides - you all might have considered what Alpe had to say.
But you didn't.
Again, banning folks like Chewie and HJ is the forums loss.
Ok, so the the silence is deafening.
I'm only to assume the mod "team" is going to stick to their decision without reconsideration. There was a time when the likes of Race Radio, TFF/Chewie, Dr Maserati, BroDeal, 131313 and hosts of other major contributors here made this forum worthwhile. Those days are over and it's pretty obvious why.
Too bad.
There's a few different reasons the forum has turned over a lot of members.
