did oldnewbie get banned?

[dsdsdsdsd]

hello, do I understand correctly that oldnewbie has been banned?

if so, I must say that I have benefitted from his time and energy, as well as from others; he (or she) deserves my gratitude and endorsement;

and, if so, can I ask why?

thanks

Oldnewbie was banned because he couldnt respect other members and insisted on badgering, harassing, and insult members in public. He was asked to stop, warned on numerous occasions, and was given months to stop. He sealed his own fait.

If you think that was the only reason, then you really dont have a clue. oldnewbie was warned time and time again, not to go after other members, which he ignored. It was going on for years. The trash was finally taken out. However, I find it odd that all of a sudden, a user joins, with the same IP subsets and same location as oldnewbie, speaks the same way, and magically, he now has 2 henchmen.

Let me be very clear on this. As long as everyone plays nice and respects other members, then we'll all get along fine. However, if these 2 henchmen and the obvious member proceed to cause problems or go after other memebers, then proper actions will be taken.

am i being considered a henchman here? i thought i would have served my dues by now :(

by no means, I was not referring to you hangalot. You are a valued member, we value all of our members, but you've been a regular contributor for awhile. The 2 henchmen I am referring to shall remain nameless for the time being. They know who they are.
