I feel the need to post in this thread, despite not seeing the original offending post and it's aftermath. I have seen Mr Men's original post and the only bit I wish to clarify is regarding the comments he made referring to my honesty/integrity:
"RP2000 - 2 faced twit who blags his ps3 mates in e-mails then denys it to look cool and hard"
(the word blags should be replaced with an obvious word it rhymes with).
Last week I sent him an e-mail which I will post below (but not his reply). Basically one of the threads was digging about his age so I posted in the thread:

Let's stop the age digs at Mr Men if we can. I asked him, he explained he didn't want to say, which is fair enough to me (in terms of privacy).
I too don't agree with everything he says, but it's his life and if he stays within the rules we can't really start dissing him.
that is all...

Subject: references to your age on ocuk forums.
Hi,
Apologies for starting this off in a previous light hearted thread. I did not expect/intend for others to pick up on it and use it is as a joke. Your age is your business, and you right to privacy should be respected as much as anyone else on the forums. I don't like to see picking on/bullying/victimisation/cliquish behaviour on the forums, regardless of whether I agree with someone's views or not.
I am sure you know which threads I refer to.
That is all...

Not blagged off any ps3 or 360 owners by name.
I only post this as I know there is a copy of Mr Men's posts today going around as well as images of his rude xbox live messages. I am sure most people will ignore his comments, but I feel the need to clarify for newer members who do not know me and get the wrong idea of me (with my bad jokes and all!!).
After posting the above e-mail I did make one minor joke regarding his age, which he saw before I editted after having second thoughts. He discussed my e-mailing him in there so I asked for these to be deleted (justifiably so in my eyes as e-mails and forums should stay seperate)
I don't think he is a bad person, certainly anyone's, maturity/age can not be judged by forum ramblings alone, yet I appreciate that the words we type here are all that define us (I am 30 today and people express disbelief online!!), which is why I offer an explanation of his accusations to me.
My advice to anyone who is reading is we post no more quotes from him, no more xbox live messages, no more screenshots of his original forum thread. The man is not here to defend himself (his own fault!), or to defend whether he has subscribed people to porn etc (whether true or not). I am sure some of us may have posted replies to him via xbox live that may not be polite either, yet he is not here to post them. Personally I would not wish to report his xbox live misdemeanours as we all know he loves his Xbox 360, and to try to get him banned off that seems vindictive to me, but I have not received an overly offensive message so I am not in the best position to judge this.
Let him serve out his 2 week ban and come back like normal.
I know this is a long post, but I wanted to explain his comments regarding me in proper context, and give the guy a(nother) chance.
