There was one user who posted a picture of a downs syndrome boy, after he got banned that post got taken down, so events like that could muddy the trail somewhat. That is only speculation as to why but I believe it was part of it.

No I know. But, were you to say a guy was forced to work on his straight in a no-gun area, you know all heck is going to break out when the first person says "what a great environment to work in," or "I wouldn't ever work in an area that has those rules" etc, etc.

Man...

Well don't stock me via PM !!

That's a joke - pm me.

Since we're on the topic of getting banned;
I was banned from my senior prom for fighting a week before the prom happened,,I always wondered if that was fair.
,,not that I had anyone to go to the prom with, but I might have found someone,,,I had a week to look.

I remember that instance and will assure you that posting one picture is not enough to get you banned; in fact that member had a list of infractions that was staggering. In other words he had more than enough chances before he blew it.

In any event (and this is not just for Ed) as we do prefer to keep these matters private please refrain from citing specific incidents contact a staff member if you have any questions. Otherwise it only fuels speculation.

Funny-"Over there" they think we have overzealous moderators, and I know some believe the same over here about "them." I wouldn't wish the moderator's job on anyone, as I'm certain it's a PITA at times. In general, the shaving forums are much more gentlemanly than some of the fly-fishing forums (ironic since people erroneously think of fly-fishing as a gentleman's sport).

Sorry Ryan, I realised that the picture wasn't the only thing he did, and I realise that I shouldn't have cited the specific picture, but I think most people at the time would have spotted it.

On the other hand a very prominent member posted a post that I found quite distasteful and was going to message them and say so, but they had self moderated and pulled the post themselves, which is a good thing.

Later mate, I will have some time to compose something later

Nice to have fun at times but staying on topic in threads should be the norm rather than the exception ........ just sayin'
