of course what you saying is to some extent right (i dont know the whole thing)
but still.................
i miss FB that is the bottom line
How would you like it if I went to some other forum and started calling you obscene names? Would you like it? If FB is man enough to apologize for doing that to some here, fine, he can come back. But, he was a coward - calling members names behind their backs, not to their faces. That's a coward in my book. And, I am saying that to his face.

I'm speachless. I am just speachless. He specifically commented admins on this forum, how does that not have to do with abxzone? It doesn't matter if it happend here or on mars, he still made disgraceful comments about people here. If you don't have something nice to say, keep it to yourself.

well the knee jerk reaction is to ban him. but cooler heads must prevail and we must all live with the simple fact that we cannot control what people say.

Personally I wouldn't care if I was called a bunch of names on another forum. People in a position of power will always get that and that is just a fact of life. What you guys did I can understand, but I wish we had a forum or judgment thread that we all can pass judgment on the issue. Let everyone see the facts for what they are and not hear about it later.

Right - Arutha, I understand what you are saying. Now, I have about 12,500 posts here. Check it out. 95% are helping other members with problems they have. I have never called another member here an obscene name, I have never disrespected another member behind their backs, I have never flamed anyone no matter how stupid there questions may have been, and I have spent 2 years here helping whenever I could. Do you really think that simply because I have a "postition of power" here that that makes it OK for someone to take shots at me, and others like me, behind my back? That somehow that makes it a proper thing to do? I don't think so, and I sincerely hope that the rest of the members here don't think that way either.

saying something about another member on another forum really should have no bearing on his status at ABX...if the offending comments were made here at ABX then I could understand that actions would need to be taken...that was probably the whole point of him saying those things on another forum because he probably thought that by doing that he could vent without being punished by ABX management...I read the comments that FB made at that "other forum" and yes while insulting it should not have lead to his banning from ABX (temp or otherwise)...it's the same as if you find out that your coworker has said nasty things about you behind your back to another person...does he deserve to get fired over that?...the answer is no

emotional gut reactions usually are the wrong ones and in this case the offended mods should have been the ones to take some time to cool off and then decide the next appropriate course of action...knee jerk emotional decisions are usually the wrong ones

no offense intended on my part to any of the mods/admins here...just thought I'd share my 2 cents

Yes, just because you get a little stain on your white shirt is no reason to rain daggers at Johnny. Resolution among peers has been a foundation of the system for a long time. An uneasy truce is better than forever to mistrust.
