    Why was JML banned?

    Lurked here for some time before I began to post during part of the season this year (and then just got too lazy). Anyway, I just noticed JML got banned recently. I never tailed him per se, but I did respect his write-ups and occasionally was talked out of a bad play on my part. So, at the risk of sounding like one of his "boyfriends," it was a little disappointing to see him get the boot from what I could piece together from his banning. I'll be the first to admit that there may be a lot more to the story than a pissing match between Stiff and him, but that's the way it reads to me from what's on the site currently.

    During a good chunk of this season, it seemed like this place lacked from much good NFL talk (at least compared to prior years). Many of the discussion threads were anemic if not non-existent. In any event, I would think that the last thing that would be needed would be to cull the herd, particularly with a poster who actually had a track record of some success (whether it be secondary to skill or just dumb luck) and did tend to discuss things rather than just post picks.

    Again, there may (and probably is) a lot more to the story than I know. I just hope that there is a good reason behind it, because the last thing I feel a forum like this needs is trigger-happy moderators banning people and locking threads left and right because of a past history of disagreements.

    Hey thought that he had been here so long that he had enough clout to take a moderator on. Don't work that way. I ain't even got that much clout. Just when you think you cain't be banned because your a valued poster with immunity, is the time you go out the door. This site is for everybody to get together to share and have fun. JML wouldn't let it go and kept badgering a mod in what he thought was just enough to **** with a mod but not cross the line. There are plenty of places out there. Go there cuase this ain't the place if you didn't come here for comraderie and fun. We have enough mods here that monitor to make sure nobody talks to you like **** or that you don't talk to nobody like ****. Give respect and you'll get respect. Give **** and you'll get ****. JML is banned and it wasn't just one persons decision. Just to let you know, I can **** up and be banned. I watch my P's and Q's just like everybody else.
    If its fun, do it

              honestly, if Kevin didn't ban JB on the spot for that bomb he let fly in the cave i don't think there's much then he can do to get booted.....:beerbang:

                    I don't like seeing anybody banned. The bottom line is that everybody should respect others opinions. Sure, there's gonna be disagreements and that's great, but to constantly F with somebody isn't something that can go on here.

                    Mods are volunteers here. They're community leaders and long term guys who care about the community. None of these guys have egos. They dont' WANT to ban anybody. If they make a call, it's what they feel is best for the community.

                    Mods aren't into sensorship or pulling power trips. It's all about what's best for the community. That has meant that that a few guys had to go. Unfortunate, but the way it is.

                        He's awaiting trial on 2 charges of hybacthery. Its a misdemeanor and will probably get time served unless they run the 2 offenses consecutive. He'll be back soon.
