Billy T was trying to change the world and was spamming a post about you contacting your congressman and whatever. Was kind of annoying, specially that except maybe 3 people here nobody knows their congressmen....
He chose the wrong forum for political activity...

the incident is probably the funniest banning i ever seen on sigh!
even so, asguard need not have followed the letter of the law in this case
but.....whatever
fortunately for us, it seems he will be back

 

/chuckle

the passion just warms my cockles to no end!

 

The fact that an excellent contributor like BillyT gets banned while some of the worst repeat offenders run wild and free....boggles my mind!!!

 

Billy T banned! That is utterly ridiculous. Cretins like Oil is Mastery, or electrafixtion and many others too numerous to mention are allowed to run riot, while a sensible, logical, contributing poster like Billy T is banned. Pure nonsense. If this is factual, expect a backlash.

 

Don't forget the difference between the person and the actions. While BillyT is a great and valuable poster, he was spamming and that's a bannable offense.

I think 3 days is a little harsh though. In his own way BillyT was trying to help with a sciforums public service announcement.

 

"wasting my time and fucking me off" is a lame reason

At least put the correct reasons. If that's the real reason un-ban him now.

 

I suggest people stop posting anything at all until he is reinstated.
Alas, this is '08, not '68, and a cohesive protest and strike is all but impossible.
Unless everyone stops, what difference will it make?

I suggest we stop posting at 8:00 PM/ET tonight (about 1/2 hour from now) and do not post again until he is reinstated or the 3 days is elapsed.

I'm doing it.
Who is with me?

 

Ok. And I've been active lately.

He did wrong, he admitted it, which is very mature. Let him sit it out, he's being a good example.
