    ive been around more than my fair share of forums and will confess i dont look at this one too much but my impression of people here were that they were a bit more adult than the stupid, childish drama queens ive often seen and moderated on myself.

    Seems its just as alive and well here as everywhere else judging by the attention seeking first post.

    Precisely. Pure and utter attention-seeking, drama queen behaviour, par excellence.

    I’ve now decided not to ban Alan. Doing that would be counter-productive, as then he'll think he’s entitled to ‘play the victim’ (and moan about big, bad Marco) on any forum allowing him to do so.

    Therefore, I’ll simply take the piss, by copying and pasting here any further remarks of his I see of that nature, in the hope that people’s reaction to them on this thread will embarrass him into not acting like a tit in future!

    That's quite funny, sensible too.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I quite like tits......................

    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Just goes to show perceptions vary. I just saw it as someone wanting to say goodbye while they still had the opportunity to do so.

    I really dislike the idea of banning. If the forum is supposed to be representative of a community, why not allow an "irritent" element that an community will have? I must admit I was a bit disappointed when Jez Arkless was seen fit to be banned and when that NVA chappie was ejected from TAS. I know, I know, I know, I know he can be pretty forthright in his views and I'm sure he would even admit that at times he can be his own worse enemy. Even so, I'd still rather include him than exclude him from a forum. That's my opinion anyway.
