Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

umd has been banned

I can't believe umd has been banned again. Really lame. I think umd is too helpful to BF members to be banned for two weeks! Something must be done.

Apparently...umd, 2 weeks: Harassment, High Maintenance

2 weeks is better than forever, IMO.

Er, yes, but that doesn't say anything about whether he should have been banned at all, does it? I have no idea what umd is supposed to have done, so maybe I'm not competent to comment - though I must say I haven't noticed him posting anything that could be regarded as objectionable - unlike others who are just as prolific, probably more dismissive, but seem to survive unsanctioned.

1. you do realize that these posts are a waste of time, and that it will be locked. yes?

2. seeing as you're his wife, you should be happy. this way the two of you can have a little more QT.

3. umd gets banned because bf is full of insecure dullards with itchy fingers on the report to mod button.

4. nothing will be done.

You know why they don't ban me? I'll tell you why. Because I am God's Gift to BF, that's why.



Make a note of it.

I can't believe this thread is still open. The mods must be sleeping.

He has a lot of good information but every response from him is so caustic and abrasive that I dread seeing his replies - hence the ignore button.

I think banning is ludicrous.

Now that I think about it, this is a good time to open up a couple of "Average Speed" threads....

I've never seen him post anything too harsh or abrasive. I think people should grow up and be able to handle it (especially since nearly any question ever conceivable has been discussed before). umd does a lot of good work, and is always quick with a helpful answer.

Is the post that he got banned for still around?

And yes, the only time '****' would be a applicable, and nobody's busted it out. A thread of champions.

Not really a waste of time. I remember from the last time that umd was banned that umd had conversations going on in threads and it looked like he just left the conversation for no reason. Announcing here that umd is banned will explain what's going on. umd hasn't willingly left BF.

Probably means the Mods have to deal with an inordinate number of complaints from other forum users. He's the king of ratholes - a typical thread should have long been closed but he'll get into an inane argument with another poster that will last for three pages and then the Mods will lock the thread.

If I may offer up an answer in the usual form that you post: correct.
