I know the truth about the incidents with Maldorf and I have the PM's to prove how lenient I was for a very long time...too lenient and one day that ran out. I sent him roughly half a dozen PM's asking him nicely to stop bringing up politics, as that topic is against forum rules. Time and time again, he just ignored me. It certainly wasn't personal, I liked him and I told him that. I told him I didn't want to ban him, so please stop breaking the rule regarding politics. One day he sent me a PM intended for someone else. He was basically setting me up to look like the bad guy if he got banned and wanted whoever it was intended for to spread the word. He sent me a message saying he meant to send that to someone else. I told him that I've never been anything but up front with him but now that I know how he really feels, and the fact that he was trying to set me up over something that was entirely his fault, I was done being lenient! I was very clear that if he brought it up again, he would be temp banned. I'm not sure that I'm the one who temp banned him after that...perhaps, but it was warranted either way. He decided to leave which I still don't understand, as everything was his own doing. I hope he's well and his family is well. I would never wish anything bad on him over something so petty. I will say this, there are some big egos that get developed here but it's surprising to see how fragile some of those big egos are!
One other thing I want everyone to read, members love to blame things on the MOD's. Remember one thing, THESE ARE BIG A's RULES, we just enforce them! I've never once seen someone call
@Big A out and attack him. So, the next time the forum rules are enforced, and you don't agree, please direct your disenchantment to Big A and see where that gets you!!
