    Default Banned from Vinyl Engine

    I was banned from Vinyl Engine a few months ago. After a forum chat with a nice chap called caffe latte about the possibility of him visiting me when he comes to the UK, we took it to PM. I invited him to join AoS as an aside and the next thing I knew I couldn't logon any more. The one-word reason given was 'spam'. So from this I established that the VE owner:
    1. Is an arse of the highest order
    2. Reads member's PMs (absolutely unforgivable behaviour in any forum)
    3. Is so scared of little old AoS that he couldn't take the competition
    4. Hides like a coward behind his forum and will not respond to any external mail

    I had been a member for a good many years, too, but this didn't qualify me for even the courtesy of an explanation from him.

    Shocking and petty and dishonourable behaviour ! However, look on the bright side - it was only a vinyl forum! Surely it's about time you concentrated on digital. It is 2012 !
