Thanks Glenn

I just noticed that someone banned EJC_74 "Metal Warrior for Life" or whatever nonsense his name was. Wanted to send a big thank you out to Glenn or whomever made that happen.

I think it's only a one-month ban.

It says "banned" under his name on previous posts, and his sig has been removed from those posts as well.

Oh cool! I had no idea the bannings affected the posts or was indicated like that. What did he do anyway? I mean, I know he was pretty "enthusiastic" sometimes but I must have missed something bigger than that. On second though.. doesn't matter if I know what was said, it's just my dumb curiosity trying to kill me.

Basically he was just berating everyone who disagreed with him on any subject with lots of name calling and other insults. He didn't seem to understand (even after forum members/moderators had told him a few times) that that kind of behavior isn't really tolerated around here and that you have to at least accept that other people are allowed to have opinions even if you don't agree with them. His posts were becoming rather distracting from the topic at hand on several threads.

I second that thanks to who ever was responsible for the banning. Hopefully, if he does come back, he will return with a better attitude and a little less ready to hurl insults.

Just read some of his posts.

Heh heh.


It makes me feel good knowing there's plenty of people out there to flip burgers, I'll never be hungry when I go to Wendy's.

You're so nice. I would have just said "because he's an asshole".
