Bye bye

true but we are only speculating on why he was banned - i cant see philly, noel, chris etc banning him for no reason, so he might have done something that none of us know about

That's the whole point - if none of us know - then it can hardly be a post that he's replied to or started - otherwise someone would know.

It will come out in the end - either this side or on the other! I suppose it's just more incentive to visit the other side.

but there are other things that get you banned - if there was a falling out by pm , or if he had a pop at the mods by pm , or if he was operating two accounts , etc - any infarction of the rules could result in a banning and only the mods would know.

frankly i'm not that bothered - i have faith that the mods here wouldnt have banned him without good reason, and beyond that i really couldnt care less - i'm certainly not going to start lurking over there so that i can find out what happened, life is really too short.

I wasn't suggesting visiting WWUk to find out what had happened to Jacob. It was more of a case that I had actually warmed to Jacob and felt that he did have a contribution to make. It appears that there are folk (Jacob) for one who don't or won't post on here and I do feel they certainly have a lot of knowledge of which I for one do value. it was for this reason - i.e. they won't (or in some cases can't) post on here - so one has to go there (i.e. where they can post) to see their opinions.

That's not to suggest that I don't value the contributions of folk here - I certainly do.

As someone who has a foot in both camps all I can add is that Jacob says

I think they've just barred my ISP (whatever it is). It says 'you been banned' as before. Could be a computer thing, dunno.

Until someone on the moderating team feels it appropriate to clarify the situation then I guess the speculation as to what has happened will continue. I personally find it sad that these sorts of things are allowed to fester rather than being brought out into the open - something which is rare on WWUK.

Others have been given a second chance, so why not Mr Grim? He hasn't killed or eaten any Babies as far as I'm aware.

That's because when you did go over there, they saw you for the pompous bombast that you are and wopped your sorry ass real good.

:lol: Very insightful Mr Grunter (if that is your real name)

Interesting first post...I don't think a 'welcome' is necessary - Rob
