some of his humour was very close to the mark and some made me wet myself, i think mmp is totaly entitled to air her views and not to be critisized for her thoughts.

i have never met mm but have had banter on line that has not hurt him or me.

but he is gone now

A lot of love for the member that we had more complaints about than any other. And the straw that broke the camels back was pretty unpleasant.

Always sad when someone is banned but Scott was warned/requested to desist again and again and again and wouldn't or couldn't. Even a temporary ban didn't work. Despite being cut more slack than anyone else, perhaps saddest of all, there was almost an inevitability about the ending, a question of when rather than if.

No doubt that Scott was an enthusiastic chap who provided some useful help. However that side got rather masked by the almost constant, casual bigotry. And regardless of the hoary defence of PC gone mad, that really has no place on a forum focusing on bikes.

Ed has summed up the situation rather well.

Hadn't intended to comment on this thread again, however will do so to clear up a few points.

-As mentioned in the first post the only reason for setting this up was because if I didn't somebody else would. We have done this in the past for other banned users.
-We have had more complaints about this user than any other. Most of the really unacceptable stuff from Marin Man will not have been seen by the majority. Either because the mods have removed it or because he saved his best for PM.
-The 'final straw' was not related to his '10,000th post' thread nor was it related to any incident with another user. Although there have of course been many of those. As an aside, yes it takes two to argue but generally there will be one who instigates things.


This is done now and will not be undone. Suffice to say if any of you were in my situation I'd have no doubt you will act in the same way.

Let's move on. The site is very much bigger than any individual.

Quote Stubbsy : " i think mmp is totaly entitled to air her views and not to be critisized for her thoughts."


Absolutely correct and I hope nobody will critisize her for saying anything.
