    It's sad when this is a topic of heated discussion, when said member will return in a few days....yet, there is no mention of members who will never return to our forum.

    Keep crying aloud, about how your rights of free speech and rhetoric are soooooo policed and now it's just not the same anymore. Cry me a river. Think about who can't participate anymore and put that on your dashboard. I would value objection to year long veterans more than I would post oriented veterans.

    There's so much more to worry about, love and go crazy about but some folks have an endless obsession about someone who is probably shitting on his toilet right now.

    Get over yourself, think about the big picture. It's a forum not your marriage....relationship....and if it's a friendship, good for you and that rules. You know what else, it's a forum.

    The problem, Mark, is that it was totally uncalled for and everyone here knows it.

    Everyone? Name them please or REVEAL yourselves oh less than 10.....as I would love to know who thought it was overwhelming that it affected their daily lives.

    I didn't even know he was banned until I logged in and I didn't really care in the end. I cared when you were banned but not when Sal was banned....that makes me an **** huh? I can only imagine the flurry of emails that was created over nothing. It's sad, yes, it's sad both ways.

    Anyone who posts videos of their SDA's is crazy in my book....plus he looks like a hippy, and they usually cause trouble don't they? Or is that what my Dad said to me since age 12....ugh......

    If SpecK had a pass to come back, then why can't they [Shane and Greg] have a pass as well? I never knew them but I would think that you of all folks here wouldn't mention them unless they were a significant contributing member.

    Also, it's not really a heated discussion so much as confusion with seemingly no explanation as to what rules were violated. I am NOT trying to be a "troublemaker" or give any of the moderators of this board any grief and I DO respect the fact that I [as well as all of us] are guests of this forum, but I think I can speak for most [not all] of the members here when I say that we are just left in the dark with no explanation as to what happened.

    As a whole, everybody gets along here and everybody respects one another. That's part of what makes this a fun place to hang. When a senior member gets banned with seemingly no explanation, what are we to take of it?

    Seven days ain't squat, admitted. When anybody can expect it without knowing what we possibly violated [rules wise], then I would think that is the reason for some otherwise positive comments.

    Please take this into consideration and please don't think that this is an attack. It is simply an observation form a hopefully contributing member of this forum.

    If the rules have changed, simply let us know. That's all. We don't know what guidelines we have to follow unless we know which brings me to something that has been said here before concerning audio.....

    "For those who don't know, don't know they don't know...." but this time, we don't know.

    Peace, Love and all that Jazz. Thank you for considering my thoughts on this subject.

    It's a shame when a really enthusiastic Polk speaker owner and really enthusiastic Club Polk member gets ridiculed for his enthusiasm and then his looks! Sal's a great guy who is very generous and always willing to help someone.

    Just FYI, rocket scientists....I didn't ban him...neither did Russ, so maybe you need to shake your head around, doglike, and wake up. We're not allowed.

    I encourage you to side with whomever you want.

    I think you are missing the point. The point is you know why he was banned, info that others can't see or hear and that's why they want answers when they see a veteran member go on a vacation.

    If you, or any moderator had said why he was banned, for how long, etc right when it happened there would be 5 threads that don't exist and didn't require locking/deleteing.

    Maybe there should be a sticky at the top that whichever mod bans whoever the details can go there, so we can avoid 5 threads in an hour on "What happened to the What happened to the Why'd x member get banned?"

    If I may, it's not who banned them...but why?

    On another note, Via a PM and on this thread I learned that Shane and Greg are deceased. Don't I feel like the donkey. :o

    The problem here is that there is no clear line or set of rules. Some members get away with much more than others. The real slap in the face is when a long standing member gets banned for a perverted gesture, while a newbie stays after he threatens members with a firearm.

    I must admit I am somewhat confused as to why this happened as well, I saw almost all of the posts that were deleted, and only one I saw went a little far....I'm not siding anywhere on this, because I know first hand that not all the information/reason is/was out in the open forum...

    Yes. Nascarmann (Shane Mann) died suddenly of a massive heart attack. Gshisme (Greg Hart) died after a long illness. Both active and well respected members of the forum.
