"Why I was banned"

To prove a point.
Being a Notable simply means that people read your posts because you offer something.
Whether it's serious games orientated stuff by the likes of Pro Evo or the demented halfwit babblings of me.

But, a big part of being a Notable, is taking flak unlimited. If we express an opinion on another user, it's "Oh you think you're so special" wheras if another user expressed an opinion on a Notable, it's fair game?
As Snuggly pointed out, I was a loudmouth clown before becoming a Notable, nothing has changed.

However, one thing I'm not is an abuser of other users. I remember, Dark Mark, when you posted about being bullied and feeling low. Can you remember which heartless Notable applauded your bravery in being honest and tried to help you out?
When Drunk Cow started posting, he got slammed and flamed by 95% of you for "spamming", yet myself and a couple of other Notables asked him to stay and carry on. And he's turned into one of the most entertaining posters here.

We all offer something different, humour/serious political/techy games info/movie knowledge and we all have a laugh.
Occasionally someone rubs you the wrong way, but the best way to deal with it is to either make light or ignore.

As Mendax/Ripper/Insane Bartender pointed out, me and him clash regularly. However, I'll always read his stuff and enjoy talking to him. Ok, so I don't want to take showers with him or tongue wrestle - but we respect and talk to each with no hostility. Why?
Because it's an internet forum.
If you put half as much passion into the world outside as you do arguing about consoles, then worlds would be changed.

I got banned for a laugh to see what would happen.
It was funny and kept me and others entertained for the afternoon.
Which is the whole point of these forums - fun.

So lighten up, stand up straight and just enjoy it.
And yes, being a Notable does mean I'm better than you. But I didnt make the rules.

They're all joking Mark.

No need to take it so seriously.

I never named anyone specific. And it was probably nearly a year ago when the bullying thread was posted, so it would be difficult for me - or anyone - to remember that far back.

All I'll say is that I'm sorry for any inconvenience I caused to anyone on these forums, and seeing as Goatboy and SHEEPY haven't been banend due to me... you can all stop hating me, provided you don't have any other reasons (which you probably do).

Okay, Goatboy, and Mark; Goaty, you've just gone ona bout how these are only Internet forums and just a bit of fun. And then what happens? Within the first 10 posts a minor argument is started, with a few mild insults.

Kerrazy.

Meh!
I still feel like an idiot

Goatboy, can you do it all again, I had to go for a driving lesson in the middle of the carnage and missed out on posting!

:-D

Er forgive me but I have not seen any "Ban Dark Mark" threads posted yet - oh apart from the "joke" ones by Grix and SHEEPY.

Let it go and just have some fun here from now on....

No, but I was referring to all the ban Dark Mark posts in other topics. And I have already let it go and it would probably all blow over quickly if you would all stop talking about it. I apolagised to Goatboy and the rest of you (yea, even you Flanders, although I don't know why) and I hope the events today don't change make your low opinions of me even lower.

But as I said, I apolagise to everyone - Goatboy especially - and unless I'm feeling particularly bored or there's something that needs to be brought up, it won't happen again.
