I am sure Maks did not ban him the first time he crossed the line. He is one of the most tolerant forum owners I have had contact with. That is one reason why I think once he made the decision to ban, he has to stick by it. But that is just my .02

 

I am sure the other moderators have had or are having private conversations on the matter as well.

Can't he (Radek) just make up a new username and be a member on here like every one else with out us knowing that it is him? Of course, if he doesn't make it obvious it's him...

Yeah he tried this. We saw threw the charades quite quickly.

Fixed that for you.

Yea we saw what was said in public. I believe what was said in private was the straw that broke the camel's back. With that said it was a compilation of offensive behavior he exhibited that got himself removed. I for one certainly feel he was given more than enough chances. Once his pending sales are/were completed he should be banned permanently so he can be someone else's problem.

Do we really need all that drama back?

Nope!

Can't we all just get along?

Sure......

 

Like I said..... If he comes back..... He would be on a short leash..... but if he can play along with others, then no worries.....

 

But I would prefer the banned..... stay banned....

This thread is making me crazy. I hate banning but I understand it has to be done. But I don't want this place to become a popularity contest where if your not part of the "IN" crowd then you are lower than most on the totem pole and banning will be done quicker. I also think banning should NEVER be permanent, unless something was done so horrible that it would only make sense.

2400+ members...... and I am pretty sure there have been less then 15 bannings..... maybe under 10......

 

This forum is by far the best around as far as letting people be themselves....

I guess I'm just looking too far into this. Lord knows I should've been banned more than once.

Amen to that!

Banning is like dumping a girlfriend. Once you make the decision it is done. Ya dumped them for a reason.

Yeah but we all know that at 2 in the morning and you just left the bar and you struck out so you call your EX and are like lets talk and this and that. So, it's the same thing.

Permabans are not taken lightly here, in most cases many other options have been exhausted. With Radick I was almost offended it took so long. He was the most arrogant douche bag this site has ever suffered. I had a front row seat to many of his escapades and he refused to see thing any other way than his own. We would give him slack then he would mock us for it.

 

I would gladly accept any banned member back here without hesitation. But Radick is best left wherever he is.

hmmmm, I guess this dramma was BEFORE i became a outstanding member on this site??

The best thing about Radek was that he was willing to say some of the things that many of us were thinking, but few of us were willing to suffer the forum punishment(and negative personal ratings ) for. He also was adept at making some of the more thin-skinned folks here go apoplectic. I saw the negatives, but his presence and occasional pot stirring made this forum a more dynamic and interesting place.

 

Free Radek!

Fee Radek!

Meh, i think you give him too much credit. He was merely an ignorant prick who was rude and callous to all alike. He might have gotten lucky a few times when blindly lobbing his insults, but generally his indifference didn't seem to be really strategically directed. I just don't understand why Ray has such a hard-on for bringing this douche back. There's something else at work here...

 

On a positive note, the guy would buy damn near anything! He was where old guns went to die.

Free Radek!

 

i like drama!

Maks did FREE him, he freed him to go bother another forum!

I dealt with radek a few times. Never had a problem. Was he going to be my BFF, prob not, but neither are most of you either. Radek's issue came from a general ignorance, cultural, gun or man.... not quite sure where to put it. Either the mods reinstate his membership and do away with the "soft ban" (double secret probabation!) or outright ban him and let it go. This thread does nothing for the situation as a whole and it's only purpose is to give the more quarelsome members here one more item to bicker over.

After all this time, I can not imagine he still has any deals in the works?

His deals are legendary.

 

Me and him have become good friends, so ease up on the negativity ladies.

Any friend of Ray's.....

 

I'll just wait and see how this plays out...

What I meant was that any pending deals should have been concluded by now, so there is no reason for him to be lurking around here. He may still be wheeling and dealing, but it is not on this board.

 

 

I believe the question has been asked and answered.

 

maybe ray ray is getting a pee pee touch.

 

 

Free pee-pee touch? ****, why didn't you say so in the first place!

Seeing as I got the Radek award today (thanks Maks), why did this guy get banned? Didn't he post deals and not follow up on them or something?
