I think some people use the forums for their intended purpose and those who use them for their own ego. It is quite obvious which members are which. I also think some are very knowledgeable, but cross some lines in the delivery of their replies.
Bottom line though is Forums need rules and people get banned for breaking those rules. But the rules are not that hard to follow if you have a life outside of the need to feed an ego in my opinion.
As i'm a new member i don't know what troubles have transpired but I'm also not stupid, people are people and can't seem to follow rules no matter how easy they are to follow, so there quite frankly i'm glad they have been banned.
As far as the people who are involved that are still here they obviously did not break the rules, or have behaved enough to gain their membership back. Non of which has anything to do with woodworking or a T30 spindle moulder, which by the way is already sold so isn't this a bit of a dead thread?
Whats the matter with people
