Dear Revere,

Please come back.  I found your psychosis entertaining.  Reading your posts was like watching a disaster in slow motion.  Has the show finally reached it's conclusion?  What's happened?  Did someone videotape it? 

 

Pablo banned him........again. He said that you can all lick his armpits when last I emailed him.

Yeah...way back when, we knew him as Old Man Wilson.  Everything he posted was inflammatory and offensive.  He affectionately became known as simply OMW.  He finally went and got himself permabanned, and he was gone for a long time.  When he finally showed himself again as 'revere', it didn't take a lot to figure out it was him.

If you didn't take him seriously, he was entertaining.  However, if you tried to rebut anything he said, all heck would break loose.

and it seemed to bother nobody. even most of teh staff here knew it was him

What did he do to get banned?  Must have been pretty out-there, considering the last few things that he posted. 

IIRC one particular person on this forum took offense to his postings. and permabanned him, idk if that is the case,its none of my business, but odds are we wont know for sure

I think I should chime in.. It was not pablo's decision to ban him. OMW / Revere2 / Revere69 was warned several times for instigating trouble on the forum. The moderators work very hard to keep things in check. We are not paid, we do this in our spare time and its a thankless job. I commend all the moderators & admins for their hard work.

If you have questions on this.. PM me.

I think I can speak for us and say thanks to all of you. 

Hey, we love this forum, and are thankful for its moderators...even if we don't always agree with them (for the record, though, most of the time I do).   

 i have been on many forums (musical instrument, political, firearms,etc.) and the moderators here are the most even-handed of any site i have visited. they're tolerant , allow us to rant/rave/vent to a good extent, let us have some fun whilst we're doing it- a great group of people.
to get booted here i reckon you'd have to be pretty heavy handed-and, a repeat offender.
thanks guys.

I'm a mod hare but I don't mod much at all, on a personal level i would not have banned him but i have to appreciate other points of view. Just as a matter of interest he is adamant that he is not / was not revere69.

i agree he was not revere69. but ill stand by mods decision here. even though i did enjoy his sometimes off hte wall rantings. lol i know most here did, but yes. ill also agree this group of mods lets us get awway with damn near murder 

he was mean 

lol.  I think there has been at least a couple times where i wanted to post somethign god aweful mean.  but i simplied resisted the urge because i knew "somebody else"  would.  Revere never failed.

Nah, he just wanted followers.  Some of you guys actually gave him what he wanted, which was kind of disturbing. 
I used to wonder what his house looked like.  Lots of cats and piled up newspapers? 

ROFL!!!!  i can seriously visualize that.  Ive been in some houses liek that on med runs with the local ems....and im allergic to cats. The paramedics and emts i ride with laugh at my nervousness around that environment.

he was mean 

as are you sometimes frankie lol

Gone again eh...

Frankie needs a time out too from time to time, but that won't happen.

I think he just liked a "wind-up" to get a reaction, yes he did go over the top and offend some people and some other people seemed to go out of their way to be offended.

Deep breath, shrug, grow up.......I dunno, I'm a leftie atheist so I was in the target area but I kind of enjoyed a bit of light relief.
