Gents,

I intend for this to be my last post on this issue. All forums have their own set of rules and terms of use. Giovanni violated those at both SMF and B&B. Whether you or I agree or disagree with those rules, those are the rules. Did he read them in advance? I don't know. But when he joined the forums, he agreed to abide by all rules and terms of use. And then he ignored warnings. Frankly, I find it interesting that he seems rather proud of being banned at two forums. And I say that as a forum member, not as a moderator at any forum.

And, as a member of a forum, I question why he did not simply post here that he no longer participated at those forums and ask to be contacted by email. He went out of his way to "brag" about being banned. Had he simply posted that he no longer participated, this would be a very short thread. But now, look at the publicity. IMO, that says it all.
