He knows the rules. Got banned, then came back. His habit of arguing for the sake of arguing is childish and stupid. He brought no value to the forum, as all he did was stir.
Good riddance.

Get Real.
He never ever accepted a warning gracefully ... EVER. Each warning resulted in PMs as to why no warning was justified. Any response was then argued in the same manner he argues on the board. He was FAR from graceful. Previously when he could not win a debate in PM, he has accused me of bias, stupidity, a lack of humour, a complete failing of understanding banter and mateship, among many other things ... but the very last thing one could say is that he ever took a warning gracefully!

well , more fool him then.
... but surely within his right to put forward his side of the story
(pithy communication classes could also help him by tbe sounds of that)

... needs to follow my example and thank the mods profusely
and ask for another.

but i all seriousness
from his POV he's expressing his POV
from your POV he's personally abusing U

Yes, he could come back under another nic from another IP address. But if the posting style was the same, then it would be obvious who it was.

Regarding P66 being bullied and hearing his side of the story.

I can confirm that there were many PM exchanges trying to explain to P66 why his style of posting was argumentative and antagonistic. And why many posters were complaining about him. He couldn't or wouldn't accept it. He also seemed to think that he never started an argument and that was justification for every single argument he had. His right of reply. He also seemed to think being argumentative was fun and he was fond of saying people shouldn't take it so seriously as though that somehow made the personal insults and bickering ok. He could not grasp the line between posting about issues and posting about personal stuff about other people. He had many many many many chances to 'get it' and he just didn't, or wouldn't.

I've seen some pretty ugly posts and stuff in PM's on here from time to time, but what P66 PM'ed to Simon, not once or twice but in a series of abusive PM's was outright offensive, vile and deeply insulting. If someone started PM'ing you crude, language laden insults about your wife, her and your sexuality, your kids and wishing that you would die, would you be ok with that? Anyone?

The mods have IMO been really really patient and gave him heaps of chances to change his posting style. Even in this incident, there was a willingness to warn and once again try to shift the posting behaviour away from the personal. But P66 snapped and let forth a torrent of vile and offensive abuse. No choice remained but banning.

Mainly because he debunked a lot of stupid posts on here. Upsets some being proved wrong with their opinions, so he made many enemies. Have had a few run ins with plugs myself but I don't have a thin skin.

Plugger was bullied but plugger WANTED it. He loved it and thrived on it and it generally didn't effect him.

I've copped a few warnings myself but generally just take it on the chin, sometimes question why but getting personal is just wrong and stupid.

Simon had no choice. Put yourself in his shoes and what would you do Gaz?

As I've said, this place will be worse off without him and will be generally very dull without much activity.

I think all supporters of plugger and his divisive ways should really show their outrage as well as indignation and all leave the forum in protest.

oh and don't slam the door on the way out.

thats a moot question SP , imo.
... it SHOULD never have been allowed (again!!!)
to get to this situation.
... Marts meltdown (pre warned from me in a public post 4 days before it happened)
sprang from the same slippery environmental conditions as Pluggers meltdown.

Ironic huh.

... people need to see What IS ... not some fantasy projection about how it should could or would be.

i might be one eyed
but in the land of the blind ... guess what !!

thankfully , for my personal sanity , theres still a few around the place
putting sanity before self projection ... and good on em for exercising
their humanity with class not cultural consensus

I don't understand why this should make any difference to what was reportedly PM'ed to BFUSA.

Regardless, there is no excuse.

P66 would have been fully aware of the impact of such PM's.

He is an adult, he is responsible for his actions.

Meh...I don't miss him already. Countered arguments with trivial semantics, rarely had a point, never let go and bored us all to death. He'll be back in some sneaky fashion by the end of the week I'd imagine. :mrgreen:

Sounds like he was pissed and way out of line.

But he has been called some pretty disgusting things on here over the years - in public not by private PM - and those people are still allowed to post.

There are rules on the forum. He was warned many times. He decided not to stick to them and blamed the policeman when caught.

Is this having a go at any poster putting a counter argument mods? Any warning?
