You can say that perhaps Rob deserves it, but Alan definitely doesn't. He never intentionally starts controversy here.
I don't necessarily believe the posts were anti-Semitic. They were just nasty and trolling, and I don't want that here.
I am still not sure if HardEight is real, or if he is some other user here who might have been banned in the past.
However, I don't like the direction of some of his recent messages, and I don't like the attacks on Alan.
Like it or not, Alan started this place several years ago. None of you would be on this site if it weren't for him. I would like at least some level of respect shown to Alan for that reason, whether he continues posting here or not. I feel he's earned that.
He has definitely contributed over the years. He has posted the highest number of messages, and nearly all of them have real content. He has kept this place going & active for years.
So I don't want to see him trolled.
If you disagree with his opinions, that's fine. You can call him out in that respect. But no more trolling of him. In fact, I don't want to see trolling on this forum at all, but especially not that of the unsolicited variety.
This is HardEight's last chance before I ban him.
