I heard that he got banned. Can someone link me the posts that got him banned? I am sure that the events leading up to it were very entertaining, and I missed it! Yeah, I am at work and bored right now.
I can't seem to find anything.. i looked under what he last posted and its not horrible.. So how long is he banned??? cause its been a few weeks i think since he posted.. or did he indeed just run away?
oh well, he probably mailed it in already. Just look at how the Lions are doing this season. Plus, he probably despises that a Viking fan is running this web site. ha ha ha ha I'm just trying to look at this from Zackman's perspective, which is fairly predictable.
I'm not sure why I was banned for 30 days. Here's a copy of the email I sent Vikingfan. I got no response. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></div> He did say next time I'm banned for life. So long fellas ... if this does me in.
Wow, you certainly covered everyone here in that one swing. Speaking as someone who has never really attacked your views and opinion, or responded to any previous attacks, you certainly make it easier to say goodbye.
That was kind of weak in my opinion....I always figured that when Zack decided to go out, he'd go out with a magnificent blaze of venom....im disappointed....
Zack, I never got your email, which is why I never responded...if you want to talk about this, we can take it to the private message board.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BearsFan1)</div><div class='quotemain'>pretty cowardly getting banned right before Joey sticks it to lions.</div> Is that a personal attack? Seems worse than anything I posted before I was banned for 30 days.

Shouldn't we ALL know if a PM can get you banned?

Zack, Seriously - either PM or stop talking about this altogether. You and I can go over this in private and I can explain why you got banned. Then again, if you just want to cause problems, then that is a problem that's easy to deal with.

Flaming is considered any personal attack against another member of these forums. Any verbal abuse of another member will not be tolerated.</div> Any verbal abuse means any verbal abuse. I don't care where it takes place - if it is on my server, its against the rules. Now do you want to take this private or not?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (vikingfan)</div><div class='quotemain'>Now do you want to take this private or not?</div> No need to take it private. I'd never heard of anyone being banned over a private message before. I doubt anyone else has either, so a public airing is in order for the benefit of all members. I guess we all need to be careful who we PM. For the record, I think a warning would have been the correct thing to do vs. a 30 day ban in this case. I also think it shouldn't count as one of my three strikes. I should still have only one strike in my opinion. Maybe a clean slate is in order seeing I was overly punnished because of a snitch.

In my opinion, attacking a member through a PM is even worse than doing so in the forums. It becomes more personal when you take the time to send a PM. Private Messages are here for the benefit of members to hold conversations that doesn't apply to the general population. There is never any excuse for attacking another member. PMs are monitored from time to time - there doesn't have to be a 'snitch' in order for a ban to be handed out. The members of this forum are expected to act like adults. Personally, you have acted like far less than an adult. Rather than come to me privately after I requested you to do so, you decided to air out your grievances publicly for all to see. You posted more personal attacks against other members which I am going to let slide (you posted the contents of the email that I never received). There is more than enough reason for you to be banned from this forum permanently. I am, however, giving you the benefit of the doubt. Turn things around and you are more than welcome to stay. Continue to badger other members here with insults, no matter how subtle they may be, and I will have no problem getting rid of you. As an aside for anyone else reading this - I never like to ban members, but understand that this forum makes me $0 and is 100% voluntary on my part (I actually lose a decent amount of $$$ on this). I do it because it is nice to talk football with people that I respect and I enjoy the conversation of most people on this forum. I do not, however, enjoy managing other people's arguments. The fact that some members cannot talk about football without getting personal is unbelievably ridiculous and unbelievably childish. If any member displays a pattern of causing arguments and general strife, I'll have no problem kicking them off, whether they've made 3 posts or 3,000. So grow up. If you don't think you can manage talking football without commenting on another person's testicular fortitude, then please leave. I'm not your babysitter.
Since there seems to be one set of standards for me and another for those who bait me, I expect to be banned for life sooner rather than later. The funny thing is I used the term "testicular fortitude" because it was used by another member (GWO) and went unchecked. Just one of many examples of the double standard that goes on in here.
At this point there is a different standard for you because you have been disrespectful of the rules on this forum and have decided to piss all over various threads with your personal grievances which should have been brought to me in private. You do not have to be banned for life - just follow the rules and you'll be fine. Come here with the intention of talking football and not harassing other members and you'll be fine. If you want to air your dirty laundry here, then go go somewhere else. I'm done wasting other people's time with this discussion publicly - we can continue it in private if you like, or we can just move on and talk about football. BTW...the testicular fortitude comment was in general to everyone - not you. I saw that you made that comment after I made this post...
