OP has received a 7 day Ban for persistent abuse, & been warned that further abuse will result in a 3 month ban, followed by a permanent ban if necessary.
It's your Forum guys, & we all need to behave responsibly if we want to keep the Forum, &, perhaps, persuade our new owners that it's worth keeping.
Several senior Forum Members have written to me suggesting the fella was going too far, & then, today, the Suits suggested to me it was all a bit much, so that's that.
Personally, I thought most regular Forum users had the fella sussed & just thought it was funny, & I'm of that view too, but we have to draw a line somewhere.
In a way, it's a bit like the Referee stepping in during a one sided boxing match, where one of the boxers is getting a right pasting. Sometimes you have to step in for their own good, to save them further punishment. He was certainly getting beat up, & deservedly so, but it's a little unpleasant to see someone being so totally owned.
I expect the Usual Suspects will say we are Ban-Happy, & it's all so unfair. It's never good to ban folks, but sometimes it has to be done. So that's the third person (& 4th Account) banned this year.

Let's hope there are no more.
That's all very well but where's the "100 fcknquid "..?
Seriously guys I was never trying to get Mr Zen banned. I was merely engaging in a battle of wit and banter which admittedly i felt might provide the occassional moment of hilarity.
Mr Zen don't know if you can still read posts but if you can just let me say nothing was personal and i will be the first to welcome you back to the forum.

There was never any suggestion of that Mark. He was just pushing it too far.
Hopefully when he returns he'll be a little more reasoned & sensible.

Disappeared, out of the blue, apparently. Except it didn't.

Welcome back @zenbudhist
How about we keep it cool this time?
Have some bants by all means, but less of the gratuitous insults & profanities.
