What exactly has he done wrong?
![[TW]Fox](/data/man-of-honor/2009.png){kind=avatar}
rypt is being obnoxious but I'm not sure he does it deliberately to annoy people. He simply posts what he thinks irrespective of its potential to offend and everything in his world is black or white. This is not something you choose to think, I think its just the way it is.
I've had numerous run ins with him as some of the things he says are hugely annoying but I think the key to this sort of thing is whether there is malice intended and I'm not sure there ever is with him.

I'm not going to go through and quote everything he's done wrong, but if you have read this thread I'd be mystified if you genuinely didn't know.
I fail to see anything wrong with his posts, not that I agree or disagree with them, I can accept some people may find them offensive though but they would have to be overly sensitive imo. I've seen far worse written on this forum.
He's trying to be offensive, and that is trolling. Talking about bacon sandwiches in a Ramadan thread? There's no reasonable argument for that.
Other people get warned for trolling, that he thinks he is right to be as offensive as he wishes because other people are deluded is symptomatic of issues of his own. Regardless, if he chooses to be civil from now on there will be no problem. The vast majority here can manage it.
Some of it may be deliberate but I take his point that in many other threads people are purposely offensive to other posters because of their beliefs in things other than religion yet that is ok.
The only problem I see here is that religion has a wider following so tends to offend more people. Because of his strong views on religion he shows very little respect for it and may come off a little abrasive/obnoxious, does that make him worse than someone who deliberately tries to offend or make fun of those who believe in aliens, ufos, conspiracies?

I can't get over that people are saying no, it's not like the mods get paid.
Sorry still don't see it.
I agree with him in part and with Fox in part, I don't think he's doing it on purpose he just comes across as obnoxious. The points he's made are imho, valid.
I don't think he's trying to be offensive imho, you think he does. Yours is the only opinion that matters really though isn't it? You have the suspend button.
While we are at this, of the several mods I've emailed, only one has bothered to reply to me (very nice and polite) as to why I was suspended. I wasn't aware I'd broken any rules. Still not being offered any explanation, so could you ask around for me Gilly?

I think Tefal should have to wear the special pants while he makes it, seeing as I've now seen at least 5 pictures of them in one thread.
Do you mean these pants?

I think overall yes but I still voted no.
I think the ruling of the motors forum is what really let's them down .... It's the area of the forums where rules and admin control seem to be thrown out the window,threads are left open far to long that have essentially turned into mocking someone etc.
I would say that my faith was restored in them somewhat after a certain numnuts on the gpu section claimed Reported me just bc he was too stupid to use google.

so surely the everyone should be voting yes then?
That was an example, and may I point out that this is not a Ramadan thread ... and equally that it would be perfectly fine for me to post in an "Aliens exist" thread and post something to the effect "I went to Mars and met Elvis ... really I DID!" - which is mocking a dead person (Elvis) and the OP who thinks that aliens exist...
At no point in this thread have I ever insulted anyone personally, made any racist comments, and so on.
So I do actually fail to see what your issues with any of my posts (other than the fact that I've been involved in an off-topic conversation) are, no other mod has taken issue with it (again other than Burnsy who asked me to stop discussing an off-topic topic, which I did)
Besides, it must be a cold day in hell if Fox defends me
And Tefal, get those things off my screen you giant toaster

Re-read the actual poll question..
Like I said, it needs to be re-done, I expect the results are completely unindicative of the collective opinion.
