Just Sayin ...

Post by Oldvine Zin »

This board isn't the same without Rad's comments and wisdom. I hope that he gets to return soon

I'd be surprised if he comes back, as far as i know noone has been unbanned from here.
I like the fact that he was not given special treatment just because he was Rad, shows everyone that the rules apply to all.
Still would have preferred for him to play by the rules and stayed on but alas it was not to be

For every person who misses him I'm betting there are three that don't.
It can only become a more user friendly place without him.

I'm sorry salt bush but I can't agree with you. No one was forced to talk to or even listen to rad. He was just a member. Don't like what he had to say? Block him. That simple. But the fact of the matter is he was a very knowledgeable person, who used his free time to help people with this hobby. He ws a stickler for the rules but did so in the interest of safety and furthering the hobby.

Personally I think it's a shame that it got to this point. We're all supposed to be adults here, seems lately we are codling children to much.

Just my opinion mind you

He now has the unique opportunity to read, what other people think about him. Strange feeling I think. I think he doesn't care about those opinions, but it's an interesting experience. I am jealous. :lol: So I will write 200000 posts more and then look where is the next noobtrollwithchinesecrapplasticstillcontrolabvbytemp!!! :mrgreen:

and I have to practice his style (this is for you BlackStrap):

This thread should be shut. It could quite easily turn into people bad mouthing somebody who is not here to defend themselves. Not in any way saying that that was the original intention.

But then i found out i was mistaken.

Perhaps. But each new thread about this pins a highly deserved honor medal onto rads chest. Only few lost members are such missed.

There is always room for negotiation especially when it's in the best interest of the goal. Many may wish to ignore but Rad was not only a part of the foundation but also continually contributed to the growth of this forum. I respect the authority that controls the house but I think Rad added way more than he took away. I hope maybe one more chance?

In the past I have seen such instances happen. A otherwise contributing member exhibiting negative personality, or negative actions. Without fail, and for the good of the community, these members eventually find themselves banned.
Sometimes they become filled with hatred and revert to the very thing they once helped combat " internet trolls".
Sometimes they are never heard from again.
Sometimes, after their ass heals from the chappage, they register a new name. And they come back, realizing their mistakes. And are allowed to continue to be a member, without their previous familiar name, or status, or large post count.
A more humbled, regular contributor to the community. Realizing their shortcomings, and making strides to correct character flaws (which we all know we have).

I am here everyday reading, I see when you log on Rad. Almost everyday without fail. I have a feeling you want to be part of the community again.
Past is past I always say. Register a new handle, and come back. Be the leader we new fellows need you to be.
And leave the BS behind.

Would this be allowed ? Not Rad again, but a new entity, new name, and hopefully new attitude ?
