    Hey walking carpet?
    I guess nobody ever taught you courtesy!

    Edit! Walking Carpet wrote a rude reply to my first post and it seems they banned him AND deleted his post. (maybe all of them, I am not sure.)

        But where is the carpet that walks?

        Someone hit him with a ban hammer.

        I missed things not being here over the weekend it seems.

    Hey Richard, you're right. I didn't think they deleted people's posts if they banned someone but I think that guy deserved it for his attitude in his reply.
    But it does make my next post look weird but I am amending that to reflect the missing previous post from that guy.

      They haven't deleted his posts, that one yes but I've seen lots of others. I know he was a bit odd but I didn't really find him offensive for the most part. Slightly high opinion of himself but I thought he was doing it for a laugh most of the time.

      I assume he must have been rude to you though as it was deleted.

      The mystery remains. Today I'm going to be Sherlock Holmes and find out why he was banned...

    I would love to know what you find out, Richard, if that's permissible. Yes, he was rude which is why I wrote that comment in reply.

      I'm just waiting for Watson to turn up. The blighters running late. I have my magnifying glass with me and my silly hat and will delve to the bottom of this mystery before long.

      I say well said old bean. I'll be back in jiffy as soon as I've uncovered the secrets behind this excessive mystery of the unexplained.

      Tally ho for now!

    All his posts except for the offending post are still there. Admin never before and probably not still do not discuss with others, the reason for a ban. Being overly rude when you don't have a particularly great history here could do that, but it's likely a temporary ban... a little time off to think about how he responds to people in the future.

      Well, if it is a temporary ban, it could be helpful for him. I learned a loooong time ago that being rude, crude and obnoxious never really got you anywhere in life. Hopefully, he'll learn a life lesson because of it.


      Haha! Let me expound on that. I was never rude, crude and obnoxious myself, but learned via observations of others who were.
