Gypo,
That's not why he got the axe, and anyone reading the thread could easily figure out why, just reading it.
Often it's not about the position one takes, IOW, whether he is BS'n or not...but in how they present it. Kinda like telling a joke, they say it's in how you deliver it, right?
AS has to be one of the most lenient sites on the web, in regard to what is tolerable (the chainsaw forum), and it is not for everyone in that regard...but there is a limit on what is tolerable in most any environment, and AS is no different in that regard as folks do get banned. Even so, there are cases where you can come back as another identity and live a normal life on AS.
BB's posts read like a bathroom wall in a fast food restaurant. If he hadn't used such foul and disgusting language, I don't see why he would have been banned. As it was, he proved that it was more a case of penis envy. He was attacking most everyone who responded to him with foul and rude language, just like a kid. And there lies the irony, heh?
That said, I support anyone's right to voice their own opinion, and because of that I have been banned from several sites myself. I support folks like BB, even if I don't agree. But I don't support the attacking of people like he did, so I'm not sad over it. He did cause it himself.
Carry on!
