Re: I am dumbfounded!
I might add to Spuds request to read the whole thread. Sometimes (a lot of the times) Ryan will come back and post a flame/insult post up the thread sometimes days later."
Exactly As you will see that the vast majority of attacks on Ryan are in defense of the attacks he made first. After hitting alerts with no response, after a while many took matters into their own hands. As you can likely check with an Ip cross reference the poster in question has had a very long history in this kind of abusive nature dating back to "Grog" then "Chaz" and many., many other entities that were all banned by the
Webmaster due to this behaviour.
I think a fair approach now is to make the line here and now and then if it's crossed by anyone, warnings be given. Too go back and sort through all of that is not going forward. The history may actually serve as an example for all to see why things needed to be done. Then we can see how moderation has given a new breath in these forums.
If one goes through all of the posting histories one will easily see where this all began and why it escalated.
I do not envy your position. Good luck on keeping things clean. I back this endeavor 100%
This is the last time I will mention other posters and their past actions and history in these forums. Moderation is what we were all were striving for and that has been achieved.
New leaf turned.
Forward.
Best wishes.
