If you don't mind me asking, why?

In my case - because(not despite the fact) I spent a lot of time finding the right words, argumentation, logic etc to back up my points. Hard to say, really. I remember a red cloud obscuring my vision and a sense of injustice.

What rule didn't he want to comply with?

It's too bad that he deleted them all... He had said relevant and insightful things in lots of threads that had nothing to with the recent arguments.

Yep. This was the good side of Frank. His guide to T'ien Ch'i was excellent. Shame he had a dark side as well and his final act of deleting all his posts shows that dark side very clearly.

I imagine we all have that side somewhere, hopefully under control.

He was obviously upset. I don't think deleting all those posts shows a mysterious evil, unchecked "dark side", I do think it shows that he's a bit spiteful over what happened. Heck, I might be too if I were in his shoes.

Upset or not, it is just plain childish and severely immature. Don't upset me or I will take all of my toys and go home...

Ugh. I was not going to comment on this topic. That is what I get for lurking so much. If the post sounds hostile, please forgive me. I have the flu and the antibiotics are giving me a serious stomach ache.

I dont see too many others here ending up in his shoes. It was an awfully piddly little thing to take to such extremes

I'm locking this down. This doesn't need to be rehashed to death and unless you know all of the things that went on behind the scenes, you are just speculating. It's very simple, if you don't want to follow the rules, then don't post here. We're very laid back and believe in giving people second chances (and did so with Frank, I know other forums' administrators in my position would have permanently booted him the moment he started arguing with me); however, if you are going to keep doing the same thing you've been told not to do over and over and over causing multiple people to complain about your behavior, then you are just asking for trouble.

With that said though, we didn't kick him off and we didn't delete his posts. He did that himself and honestly that's a little childish on his part and seems like a last ditch effort to get attention. He's mad because he didn't get his way and thinks he should be allowed to harrass other users on the board if he feels it's justified. If this was his forum, that would be his right to do so and he could deal with the consequences (including legal ones if anyone decided to sue for harrassment), but this is Shrapnel's forum and we have to be responsible to the community as a whole and that's why there are rules.

If anyone has any other questions, you can PM me.
