Banned again

[Jacob]

I've been banned recently - for no obvious reason. I wasn't planning to return at all but I notice that my posts have been edited too. So you probably won't see this message for long either. Oh well! What can one say?

cheers

Jacob

 

[marcros]

I thought you had been quiet.

 

[Woodmonkey]

If you're banned how did you post this?

I enjoyed reading what Jacob had to say. I know that in the process of giving his opinion on this and that he annoyed a number of members but on balance I think he's an asset to the forum. I missed the posts that got him banned.

It's pitiful Jacob, you are a grown man, behave like one. You act like a scolded 5 year old.

I wasn't planning on returning etc etc........................... oh but guess what here you are.

The sad part is I'm sure you do think you have been wronged and that your contribution to the site is hugely important.

I used to be your biggest defender, however for the last 3 or 4 years I just think you are a prat.

Oh well! What can one say?

.......... goodbye

+1 doctor Bob, well said!

I too thought it was quiet without you Jacob (generally speaking, pleasantly so).

It's not that you're an "idiot" - IMHO a lot of what you say in response to "technical" posts (rather than to "political/social" posts) is clearly based on good experience and knowledge and is obviously very good sense.

BUT, as the Germans say, "the music is in the tone". One fairly recent one sticks in my memory - someone posted Q's about what he should do about a table he'd got which needed some work. He included a photo (the usual small one that the Forum allows). A lot of people put forward various suggestions clearly designed to help him.

What was your "suggestion"? Just 2 words as I remember it - "burn it". Ha, Ha, very clever Jacob.

In response to that typical "Jacobism" above, first I'd like to know how come you're "clever" enough to be able to see from just 1 small picture that yours was a sensible answer.

Second, the poster didn't tell us that, purely as an example, his grandfather had willed that table to him with his dying breathe. But without any thought at all for the feelings of that poster you went ahead with yet another of your (far too frequent) "pithy" one-liners! Why, have you no "human common sense" Jacob?

There are many other examples of your "wisdom", so if you really don't come back again although I for one WILL miss your often knowledgeable technical inputs, I will not for one minute miss your crass boorishness - except in the most positive of senses.

The above comments are of course purely my own opinion.

doctor Bob,
I'm quite surprised at you're post (Above) I thought there was 2 t'ees in Pratt!
I also thought Jacob was on his Hols.

Same here.

I have been enjoying some of the threads that Jacob would have derailed though.

Jacob, you know rightly why I banned you, no need for the "no obvious reason" nonsense. All you had to do show a little humanity after your behavior to a fellow member. You're of course quite welcome to stay and contribute, contribute being the operative word. If not, bye. And the only editing to any of your posts was the daft signature you managed to concoct upon your return.

And Bugbear:

Considering your past history might be an idea to consider your behavior too.

Time to move along folks....

I am involved in another forum and more technically a club with paid up members and we don't have many issues with posts needing moderation. We used to have one member who was a bit controversial but actually his posts prompted a reaction and did generate traffic / interest. Eventually it got too much though as he kept threatening legal action against the club when people posted stuff that he didn't like - getting a taste of his own medicine you might say. He actually left the club on his own but that was ahead of a meeting to discuss his behaviour. I personally don't mind a bit of controversy/ banter as long as it doesn't start to become personal. I'm not sure how many people are active on here but it's pretty safe to assume it's more than one and therefore forum users will have different opinions.

I welcome Jacob's input/knowledge and any 'controversial comments' can be ignored (as with other posters) - the good outweighs the bad.

 

[NickWelford]

Can't say I noticed Jacob's absence........

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Is the posters equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome creeping in?

And is there a name for it? Could we invent one?

 

[marcros]

Oh god, yet another "I love Jacob" thread is starting. These come around every quarter or so.

 

[Fat ferret]

Jacob posted some decent stuff that sounded like it was based on experience of doing things rather than experience of reading other peoples material and repeating that.

Never offended me, I must be a rhinoceros... thick skinned and/or thick headed.

 

[WoodMangler]

I don't post here often, but I do read it every day. I found Jacob's posting style a little 'robust' perhaps, but always worth reading. IMHO his banning is a loss rather than a gain.

 

[marcros]

he isn't banned though. it was a temporary measure for reasons that are known to Jacob and the Mods- as Noel said earlier.

 

[Doug B]

I prefer it when he's banned :shock: at least then he makes better progress on the second flight of stairs :lol: even if he does insist on planing 14' newel posts square with a number 7 :?
