Thread: A warning about razor discussions on Badger & Blade.

Yeah I got into DE shaving over there too. I don't go there anymore because I don''t like the atmosphere. Watch what you say and all of that. I couldn't believe it when I found out he had banned Lynn, Don, Papa Bull and others. As John said it is kind of a status symbol only it is a lot more then two. As you know John the water is fine over here.

I am not a B&B lover either, but was this the post you were referring to, John? I did not see any posts by Joel, just you lashing out at a bunch of posters, mainly TBS who by the way is a mod here.

In all fairness, it might be worth reading, before folks join the bashing bandwagon.

Ray, remember the hub bub when Leisure guy got banned ? I noticed that after they announced the banning and it generated all of that controversy they began to "disappear" members. One friend of mine PMed me and told me he had been banned for life. He disagreed with a mod ........ not even Joel and he was history. It never made the forum. That is when I started coming around here.

Getting worked up and making sarcastic comments would not be appreciated here either.
Look at the thread, look at how the mods reacted. Apart from the banning, they handled it well.

As for the banning, I cannot comment because I don't know if this was the sole reason or not, and neither does anyone else but John and the B&B team. It that was all there was to it, then it was an overreaction imo.

But let's not turn this into a B&B rag fest.

I agree with Ray, if you read the post, I can understand the actions on locking the thread. Lots of unneeded sarcasm. As for the ban, I don't know the full story so I can't comment. But read the thread before you make any hasty judgements on the other B&B mods.

They've got their forum, we have ours. Life goes on...
