Oldgixxer and I got off on the wrong foot a few months back, but I was just starting to like him...too bad. Anyone know what he did? Make sure he shows for the MIR event, I was gonna have him make a few passes in my car, seems he knows how to drag race.

Seems like racial slurs and insults are okay if you are connected.

Dunno why Brad is making it personal with a bunch of people, myself included. Evo isn't all that involved in our 55k stuff and I actually bought stuff from them. This is just not cool. Be bigger and let somethings go.

We all fight , we have all had some rough and tumble moments. Rob likely lost his internet temper, said awful things as we all have. Why not just ignore it? I realize in the heat of the moment the ban stick seems like the only answer but it really devalues the site to lose members that have made contributions outweighing occassional TOS violations etc.. etc..


MBWORLD should be informative and fun losing a member that contributed in both categories hurts all of us.

Plus its not like this is a mainstream teenie bopper forum. There's only a limited supply of membership for this forum. Why kill it by banning long time members/high posters?

But we will never know, because there has been a massive cleanup to hide the content in the thread in question.

I have nothing to hide, except the fact that I read Rocks posts.

This really blows, I talked to Rob last night about it and he explained the situation to me. I didn't read the thread yet but it seems like Brad pulled a Gustav, which is really strange because I like Brad and don't think he'd do such a thing.

But like I said, I wasn't there.

I saw the post that Rob made before it was deleted...... as much as I hate to admit it.... Brad at that point had every right to ban him based on the language used in the post (he said in no uncertain terms F' Brad and Evo). Rob pretty much made sure that Brad would ban him as a matter of principle. The events leading up to that point are completely ridiculous.....

BS

handle this stuff better admins because the only reason people keep coming back here is due to the user base.
The moment another forum (any mercedes forum) starts getting a significant user base people are going to be jumping ship.
Right now there is nothing about this forum that can prevent people from trying out other forums other than user base and an impartial admin staff.
The more we see the admin staff doing gustaf like crap ... the more the chance for change.

Btw I'm not saying OG didn't do something that you have cause for banning him.
