First there was Genghis Khan then Adolf Hitler now we have just a yellow badge.
This person banned me from the Maggie thread on the day she died for defending her against people not fit to wipe her backside, I was as abusive as the post I was replying too.
I fought for Maggie Thatcher in the 90/91 gulf war so that people like just a yellow badge could have free speech in a democracy, ironic isn't it.
Ok I'd had a bad day we lost a great leader and sty beat us at old Trafford, the last thing I needed was a MODern day dictator.

Since JAYB has been a mod, I have never known him to do something without good reason.

He has commented in that particular thread a number of times and has come across as pretty neutral (though I suspect he is pro-MT).
No doubt somebody will be along shortly to explain exactly why you have been banned.

I feel for the mods on this one though, that thread has all the markings of a potential disaster...

ETA - missed the fact you're a Man Utd fan, that's probably why.... tongue out

Really?

I find him to be the most hypocritical, antagonistic and ban-happy mod on here. I also found him to be quite offensive on the Thatcher thread, essentially calling someone a "drooling stgibbon bellend fkhead", before (a few pages later) warning others of their language and to play nice.

I know, head above the parapet and all that.

I believe with regards to the 'drooling stgibbon bellend fkhead' comment, he was explaining to a third party that he wasn't allowed to use that description as he had to remain impartial as a moderator. Instead he refered to the poster as 'special', quite restrained considering what the poster in question had decided to spout out for little reason.

I've never had a problem with him and find him quite amusing. I suppose it might be because I don't tend to resort to offensive and aggressive comments in response to points I do not agree with...

Do you really think his comment was there to prove impartiality? It only proved one thing to me, and impartiality it wasn't. It was clear as daylight name-calling, in the vein of "I think "x" is a paedophile ". Note I haven't called anyone a paedo , just commented on my musings.

Anyway, it matters little. That's my 2p worth, most likely to be disregarded, but at least I've said my part.

And no, I haven't reported it, as who do I report it to? JAYB himself? That'll work, won't it...

Make your own minds up...

Is that code for 'idiot'?
Protocol dictates that I cannot really comment.

Oh you know, some guff about my 'position as a mod' meaning it might be wise not to call drooling stgibbon bellend fkheads nasty names.

So I don't.

Just checking in to say I hate Thatcher too. Evil old woman. Helped the apartheid government oppress South Africans.

Her son obviously trained by his mum tried to continue this oppression in Equatorial Guinea.

I hope it was slow and painful.

Regards
Wishing pain and misery for the dying days of a frail 87 year old woman.

Special.
As I said, quite restrained if you ask me.....

People, a cautionary tale, if I may.

If you have at one point been a fairly well known poster, with a name like, oh, Raffish Doug, say, and you end up getting banned, and then subsequently rejoin under a different name, there is something you should consider not doing.

Drawing attention to yourself.
