Magnetic Vortex is not that interesting to me. You will notice I stayed away from "your" thread.
Complain about me here then claim indifference when an
explanation is offered. Gotcha.
Explanation = The Vortex site.
obviously, i had finished packing for our flight out south west tomorrow if i found the time to read the thread i NEVER visited before - about the disk brakes. the reason i read it was b/c i wanted to UNDERSTAND the fairness of banning blutto.
what i learned was quite surprising and not reported by ANYONE here.
1. turns out, magnetico was a mod here under a different handle (his own admission still standing)
2. turns out, magnetico admitted banning blutto previously (i pass no judgement but relay a fact )
3. turns out, magnetico freely goes in multiple posts about the blutto former ban w/o being told by any mod (of course i talk of what i saw in public) that it was strictly off topic to do so. imo, sounds like bullying with the awareness his back was covered.
4. turns out, magnetico's biggest problem was that blutto thought his, magnetico's, incessant, multiple (and still well documented) contributions in the thread about the disk brakes might have been market biased. again, i pass no judgement as to whether that is true, but having in mind the enduring lordship of the thread by magnetico - he's by far the most prolific poster in 'his thread - it would be by no means an unreasonable assumption.
5. finally i saw the new mod king boonen getting involved in defending a former mod who just bullied the banned blutto. specifically, he calling those supporting the blutto view (aphro...) to fall in line. i saw none, i repeat NONE of the public warnings directed at magnetico who -
no doubt - engaged into the personal jabs and personal bickering no less than his detractors (magnetico resorted to mental instability references etc) in a thread about forking disk brakes.
if i ever saw a more biased modding on this forum, this one would be among the tops...
again, i perfectly understand the dynamic (no single mod determines a ban)...btw, magnetico threw that very beat up phrase at the blutto face after he was banned some time in the past after an argument.
does not sound like the exemplary case for the new mod nor the magnetico dude. nor do i defend blutto.
just putting some details out for those who may want to consider them.
