If the three moderators think you have done something bad enough to be banned, then you must have. I have no problem with this. To me all this crap is bought up time and time again in this forum by the people who make absolutely no contribution to this forum except making stupid arguments like this. I think Chris W has admitted in r.g.c.c and to many other people that he has posted and again been a pain in here. So if you ban one of his other stupid personalities then you are still banning him. I like to join in a good argument when it goes to prove a point, but how many times are we going to have to put up with this same stuff being asked over and over again. And as of this day bruce you will not have to worry about this crap anymore :)
