No that is not what happened.
I looked into this and OCA actually had nothing to do with the banning in question.
Pale Rider and Manfrommaine were having a discussion in the thread about the academy awards. Pale made a few comments about brokeback mountain that manfrommaine didn't like. His response was a personal attack on Pale because of his beliefs. The post in question was 'soft deleted' - which means it's deleted for all regular members but mods/admins can still read the post.
I think being kicked for the evening was sufficient and the ban has already been lifted.
I've been nothing but fair with everyone, including all liberals. I wasn't pleased with the email I received from manfrommaine after his banning last evening. The 'Contact Us' feature sends email directly to me. Anyone that knows me, also knows that if you contact me politely that I am willing to work with anyone for positive results.
Mike can sometimes be a little crass or aggressive in his posts but he had nothing to do with this situation!
Use your imagination.
Honestly i'm tired of the unfounded accusations that spring up everytime something like this takes place. For chrissakes i'm not even logged on when this happened and the board dunce Chump thinks I did it.
At the very least he owes a PUBLIC apology, i'm not accepting it through pm.
How many apologies should you have posted over the months I have known you?Grow up soft lad, always throwing your weight around, and no, I didn't pm anyone before you start whining on at me too.If you start banning everyone others might just follow them on principle, we are supposed to be building a board here, at least some of us are.
Grow up Mike or fuck off. Your choice. According to my "who's here" board, you were here when he got kicked.

PM coming...
It is possible for any member to appear to be logged in but actually not be. This is done when some one closes their internet explorer without logging out of the site. The messageboard server will keep the member active for several minutes and then log out due to inactivity.
If you're so tired of it, maybe you shouldn't have taken such public pleasure in banning people. That kind of thing spawns this kind of thing.
It's wrong that you got incorrectly blamed, but you go far and above any other mod when it comes to threatening people with your status and appearing to not care whether or not there's any reason beyond "because."
Case in point; OCA just now does not appear on the "Who is online" yet it is likely he has been gone for several minutes. I monitored his activity, he was viewing the same thread for the past 15 minutes according to his activity, it is likely he only viewed it for a few minutes then left the site without logging out.
Because I saw OCA call him a traitor, MFM responded in kind, came back to my ptuer 10 minutes later and MFM was banned and Mike's avatar was still up.
BTW, I totally disagree with not discussing bans on threads. We are all community members here and have a stake in its wellbeing. When a regular is banned, I think if the community wants to be inclusive, it should be discussed. Not talking abuot blatant thread derailing like RWA does, or those idiots who troll with ads or obvious flamming..
I kinda agree with this. Maybe we can have a board justice section? Discussing who got banned, why and who WE think should be banned??
