Keeping threads on topic

[JLC]

Judy has already been contacted by myself, and informed of the situation, and is already aware of my use of language on this site, as well as the members (plural) that pm'd me, and the people hounding me. Ive been defending myself and nothing more, if im banned, its on the premise my language was foul, but i alrady understand those consequences. Now how about that other list.....

I feel a need to comment on this, since my name was brought into it and some claims/assumptions made about what I supposedly knew and what my motivations might be for banning.

1. Yes, serpent fan sent me a PM that I received this morning when I logged on for just a few minutes. I INFORMED serpent fan that I am currently out of town and mostly off the computer and did NOT know what he was talking about but that I was willing to help if he would send me links to the thread in question and tell me who was harassing him in PMs.

2. I did not know the extent of his infractions and the language he was using. I had no idea it had gotten this bad or his disrespect for the staff and the site had gotten so out of hand.

3. When I finally get a chance to log in again...I find more PMs from him...but no helpful links to anything that might help me figure out what is going on. Just more whining and a message letting me know how much the admins of this site suck.

Well....I'm still not hardly caught up. I'm out trying to find a new house in a new city for my family to live in. Kinda busy. But I'll make it perfectly clear now, that this guys troubles are now over at this site. And NOT because of his language, which he could have recovered from, but because of his obvious animosity and disrespect for both the site itself and the staff that runs it.

No, we don't delete accounts. But in this case, I'm happy to impose a permanent ban for someone who obviously can't resist the urge to stir up trouble so long as he is given the opportunity to do so.

As for threads staying on topic....we've NEVER had any hard and fast rule demanding anything of the sort. Threads often meander, especially once the initial question has been addressed and answered. No single person gets to come onto MY site and try to demand that it be run THEIR way.

So farewell, serpent fan. Thanks for being the speedbump in my very busy weekend.
