Did I miss something in that post? How did that thread ban him?

Vote: Un-Ban. This guy is in the middle of a monster CLS55 build. Maybe its me but, he would be doing this forum a service by being able to share his build with all of us.

I just hate seeing a seasoned member get hit with a ban. The CLS AMG forum needs him.

EDIT: So he posts pics of the parts he got for his build Then someone claims they where just some pics off the net? Thats crazy I sold him those headers. If that isnt proof enough.. I dont know what is? So he gets called a "poser". handles that rather well. then gets hit with a ban?

Sorry hooley, have to disagree with you. He is a hater pure and simple and did nothing other than cause devisiveness among us. This was a long time coming.

I can only hope it's a permanent ban.

Good riddance.

I agree that sharing info is what the forum is all about and it would be nice to have that info from him. Although he did tend to put down people and their opinions easily and 'shared' in a kind of condescending manner, imho.

I read all the posts and reasons why he was banned and it isnt as simple as him being a jerk-off (which he obviously was). Personally I could give a rats a$$ how "monster" his build was because he was a total ***** in virtually EVERY post and as far as I am concerned this is a community and the synergy is why I have been coming here for your years - even though I dont post much.

FWIW - I am in the midst of the same build if not bigger and should be done within 2 weeks. I will have plenty of pics and details.

On a side note I read on here for probably an hour per day and have spoken to several members/vendors on opinions for my build and guidance and EVERYONE has been very helpful. I am very appreciative of everyone who has helped me decide how to progress this build I am embarking on.

For the most part I think I am most excited about those MBH LT headers

Good point.

I have to say I thought Full Throttle was better than that, but lately he he had started to be a real jerk around here. True character always comes to light, no matter how you try to hide it or where you go. You can't change who you are in the ninth inning.

That was incredibly entertaining. I don't have much of an opinion but on a bright note it gave me a good laugh or two.

Gotta agree with you....

He did buy all the stuff for the car, we have all the receipts and the truck dropping it off at eurocharged on friday....

Yes he was harsh on some of the theads. But if you guys think thats bad you really need to venture out in some of the other subforums. There has been members just getting down right evil and not getting banned....

flashback to jrcart days...lol

Personally, I think anyone who wears their bank account on their wrist has some insecurity issues.

That being said, Full Throttle was harsh and seemed like the bullying type but I don't see why he got banned. He got probed and owned but nothing seemed deserving of a ban especially since the car is his. That is unless he was banned previously under another name for a real offense.

You'll have to read thru the thread. I guess he's really somebody else and has been banned from lots of forums(?) Apparently he has used different IPs to get back on, etc...

Oh, well. But he was pretty condescending towards just about everybody.

FT doesn't always choose his words carefully and he even rubs some people the wrong way but I didn't think it necessitated a ban.

Although unrelated to his conduct on this forum, the ownage was classic. I just spent a half hour reading through all the threads in the other forums...it got real ugly. At least he wasn't that bad here

There's a summary here:

1. He posts his pictures under 2 different accounts at Photobucket
http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af94/John-Horton/

and that lead me to seach for a Mister John Horton and CLS55 since I figure he would brag more about it - low and behold:

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...n+horton+cls55

Here I found he was an esteemed member of both Turboforum.net as Turbo Weapons and Supraforums as John Horton

in Turboforums he is trying to sell cars, since after all that is the reason he has any of these cars:
http://www.turboforum.net/forums/sho...9436#post39436

on here there is a phone number of 240.461.9595

type that bad boy in Google and you get http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...542006481.html

Which has Ananda Robinson 240.461.9595 Anandarobinbson@comcast.net

and this rings a bell of a big ole d-bad we had here before of mr Ananda Robinson - and you can go enjoy finding all of his other worthless posts on the Internets
https://mbworld.org/forums/search.php?searchid=5029032

So pretty much this guy was about 3 mins of googling

As best I can tell, he wasn't banned because he wouldn't "prove" his vehicle - he was banned because he's been banned before and was posting under a new user name (at least, that's how I read it). That's a 100% surefire way to get a permaban on most any site. Not to mention being banned from several other forums for TOU violations and a general lack of respect to mods/admins/members. Makes the "going fast with class" signature line acutely ironic, in the end.

He was a ***** for a few months....The last few weeks he has been more than fine and he seemed to have redeemed himself. He was very tough on people for awhile but came around recently. I was very interested in his build as well. Undeserved ban imo but I am new around here so my opinion is probably meritless.

I guess I just hate seeing people get banned. Especially when I'm use to seeing there screen name kicking around.

I look at you guys as friends who like to chat about a common interest, that my personal friends just dont share. Lets face it, if it wasn't for MBW... Alot of us would be forced to talk to our ol' ladies. Now that sounds like great way to spend a Wednesday night.

if it was because of the car - he shouldn't of been banned. . .if it was for other transgressions. . .that's outside of my purview as I am not up on all of the rules with forums.

I do agree with hooleyboy though. . . my wife has the rhodesian ridgeback forum and I have the RC-51/Ducati forums and you guys. . . as long as those remain - I see no divorce in my future

I always hate seeing your signature! I just sold my 01 996s this summer and deeply regret it! It was yellow with 1400 miles! I am so stupid!

If I understand everything correctly, Full Throttle is Ananda Robinson or L. Robinson in this thread. http://www.modularfords.com/forums/s...d.php?t=103571
You might want to look through a couple of pages of his posts. It sounds like he has a major lawsuit against Modular Fords

Thanks, 996s - that bike is already in the hall of fame, and with the Ohlins suspension. Judging from your sig, however, something tells me it won't be too long until something finds its way back into your garage

Yea, but I always do that crap and then the next one never lives up to the first. I just tried to buy my 03 E55 back from hotrodrealtor but he said no way. Like my wife says, I really have a problem.

+10 I stay as far away from the off-topic sections as possible. If I wanted to talk about things other than MB's I'd go talk to my family, my buddies, colleagues, or even the dog. My opinions are definitely not shared by all, so I keep it strictly MB related here.

I guess I'm forgiving as well... then again I only read the W210/W211/W212 AMG section.
