it's not like Ace to be that "confrontational".....maybe it was the Stoli's talking....I honestly don't know....
I have a pm out on that one.....he's a good guy of the finest grapes....
Ace is the head scratcher. He's one of the more 'normal' people who post
Seems he responded to one of GTS's post in a snarky (haha) kinda way which may have got him lumped in. Don't know really, but Ace wasn't a problem here in my mind.

Like I said in another thread, I think some of the bannings were behind the scenes type deals in private messages. Some weren't banned for anything they did on the open forum. Only way to explain the banning of a poster like Ace.

I'm use to catching flak due to being where the buck stops. Most of the hats I wear I'm in charge, so it happens frequently. I'm use to it. HOWEVER.... I *DETEST* people crapping on those who are volunteering for me. At my conference ... somebody stiffed one of my volunteers with a fraudulent breakfast. I had them arrested. It wasn't about $20. It was about you just crapped on somebody volunteering to make the world, in some small but meaningful way, slightly less ******. Likewise, when you call and threaten one of the moderators here, you escalate me directly to 11. At that point, I'm not interested in talking to you anymore. You can talk to my lawyer instead. And you and all those in your orbit are going to be exterminated from this site with ruthless efficiency scorched Earth style if necessary.
Nugget started phone harassing moderation. That crosses the line. He was removed. Any of his butt buddies not willing to immediately show contrition regarding this unacceptable behavior were immediately banned as well. If you have a moral uncertainty over whether or not it is OK to phone harass moderators, you're quite simply f*cked in the head.
You can say whatever you want about me. Don't *EVER* threaten one of the moderators on this site though.

Thanks for the update and info. I don't blame you, no doubt the phone calling is way over the line.
So let me get this straight. Guys on a message board, somehow got the telephone number of moderators and were calling them to give them grief about being banned, from a free message board, and they are adults?

The message I take away from that is that he knew the guy's phone number already. Read into that what you will, I'm not getting banned over it.

Enlighten me ... how does having prior knowledge of the phone number in any way modify judgement on the behavior that transpired? Or be some revelation unto itself? Tell me what you read into this. Inquiring minds want to know. You seem to have reached a different conclusion and I'd love to hear it. That answer, btw, is non-optional. I await your reply or your account termination.

Well, for one, I think it indicates that no one "doxed" anyone. Was it phone harassment? Maybe. I don't have all the facts in front of me, but if it was the proper remedy is to involve the cops.

That was the most accurate part of the post.
99beers posted Nugget's name and address. This is unacceptable and he was banned for it. Nugget got butthurt because he couldn't get a mod to answer to his beck and call in a time frame HE deemed appropriate, so he thought he'd get his way more quickly by calling LES. And me. Multiple times. And then shitposting about me online. And hey, because it's just the kind of arrogant assh*le Nugget is, he didn't hide any of this. He was proud of it. He sent me the FB link to Eaglepost himself. It's not everyday the person harassing people happily turns over their own incriminating evidence, but nobody ever accused Nugget of being very intelligent either. And the second most accurate thing you said was the remedy was to get the cops involved. Already well in progress.

WOW! All of this over a free sports message board!
NG is (was) very smart in an evil troller kind of way. I always figured he was a troubled soul with to much time on his hands but, WOW! I guess my impression of him was accurate.
