A little birdie tells me that my friend "john" has been banned from this site . . how does someone with almost 1,800 posts get banned?
Maybe I was given erroneous information . .
Would appreciate knowing what has happened to my friend . .

I have no idea if he is banned.

SiriusBuzz does not typically ban people, nor do we like to ban people. We always have to walk a fine line between an enjoyable forum and keeping things here to a dull roar.
John and havashka were bantering back and forth to the point where they began new threads for the sake of continuing their debate (argument). After receiving complaints, they were both penalized with a one day ban. More like spending some time in the penalty box.
They are both welcomed here. All we ask is that those that participate in these forums consider others as well. Attack threads accomplish little, use up bandwidth, and create dissent within the forum community. They can debate, but let's keep it all within reason.
Before being sent to the "penalty box", both were contacted and asked to settle down. SiriusBuzz bans very few people.
Siriusbuzz has never banned anyone... other then spammers. John was not banned.

Thank you gentlemen . . . I appreciate the explanation!
I have never read nor do I follow the political thread and thus have no context for what has transpired.
For the record . . . in my opinion, john is a very valuable member of the Sirius Buzz community and one of the most knowledgeable posters on all things Sirius XM. I hope that after a brief cooling-off period he will return . . as most of us have taken SB breaks from time-to-time based on personal circumstances . . but, the SB community will be less whole if he does not return.

There was nothing wrong with that title it was used as to refer to what havashka had said about that guy it was used to show even havashka thinks that guy is worth reading. There was nothing insulting in the title. You went way to far and that is it for me. As asked before if it is at all possible to remove me from the registry please do so. A email response to that will be enough, thank you.
Charles, you remind me of the school board that suspended that 6 year old for a month for having a spork with a diny knife attached or that 17 year old that had a 2 inch pocket knife IN HIS TRUNK as part of his servival kit, all because of a zero tolerance policy.
Charles, you better get some common sense before this site gos from a ghost town to a dead zone.
I would not have even needed to reply here if you would have let one of the 2 responses in the main page articles comment section stand without being deleted. Then again I suppose Blabla Booye argurment with that other poster was more relevant then my comment to the article WHICH YOU LEFT, yea right.
There was nothing wrong except that I had asked you on a couple of occasions before to stop doing it and that I was getting emails from forum members asking me to do something about you guys... which by the way RARELY ever happens with anyone else.Quote:

It is not possible.Quote:

The name was necessary because of the topic, being that he was the one that said that guy was worth reading it was a way to get the people that believe what havashka believed to listen to just what that guy has also said on a different topic.
Now as for emails, I was also one that sent you a PM that said to take care of all the new threads he was putting up and that if you did not take care of it then I will also do what he was doing. So that havashka propraganda was not the only thing that was at the top of the POLITICAL section. YOU DID NOTHING, WHICH FORCED ME TO DO SOMETHING. The correct way to handle that would have been for you to have stopped havashka from doing what he was doing and then I would have stopped. BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE WHO FIRST DID IT AND THE ONLY REASON I WAS DOING IT, YOU TWIT. I have also gotten emails and PMs myself Charles, many on why they left and that was because of YOU.
Next as talked about before it was because his name was used in the title in an insulting way that was what I agreed to and said I would not do again. The title I used his name again in the last time was not done in a insulting way at all.
Finally who are you trying to kid. You just and I mean just removed the BahBah Booey arguement with that other poster, WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SKYDOCK. What took so long you left it up for days after you deleted mine and we are not stupid Charles you knew I would pull them up to prove that point. Otherwise you would have deleted their comments at the same time you deleted mine and not just a few minutes ago. As a matter of fact if you would have I would have not brought the subject up. Then again I know of at least several other articles I could go to to find way off topic comments that where left up in other articles. Do you want to go back and also delete them NOW also.
It was not only insults that we discussed. I had mentioned that if you want to address someone personally, that is what private messages are for. No one here is so naive that we would believe you were looking to engage Havashka in a friendly conversation.Quote:

I did not remove anything. I dont know what you are referring to but I am fairly certain Spencer would not have removed anything either. Maybe it was pushed on to another page?Quote:

ok, good!
Looks to me like everyone has had their say now . . and hopefully cleared the air . . . nothing wrong with that . . good to air it out every once in awhile!!
Now lets get back to making some money and going after the real menace to this site . . . Jim "boo-ya" Cramer!
No you twit, as said before it was to get people that believe in the same things havashka believes in. What is insulting about this: "This is the same guy that havashka says is worth reading." Using the persons name in a insulting way IN A TITLE was exactly what we were talking about.
Then fine I will also put up thread after thread after thread. Lets remember you said that.
What I thought he was banned for was putting up thread after thread after thread. As you noticed I stopp[ed when he did and started after he started again.
I am talking about when you had all the people that left months ago. and according to the postings of both sites you are lagging way behind a site that just started that does not bode well for you site.
I am sorry you are right it was still on there so you tell me then what the hell does any of these post have to do with the Sky Dock:

More nonsense from the feeble minded.
Sirius is dog of a stock and always will be.
It is also closer to 35 cents than it is to $1.00.
You’d be wise to remember that.
I would also not that NONE of your bullish “Predictions” regarding SIRI have come to pass.
Geez, I wonder why?
You may now return to contemplating the lint in your navel.

I’ll continue to post here until such time as the OWNERS of this site no longer wish to see my posts.

Are you kidding me LOOK at the second to last comment from the bottom it has nothing what so ever to do with SIRI.
You may call telling the truth where lies are spewed being an a agitator, I do not.
Again, no one is naive enough to not think you are goading. We understand why you wrote what you did.Quote:

Thats good because I will.
No, the problem is with you on your site it directly proves the point.
Surely you jest, you are "usaully" correct, really do you remember the arguements we had that is when I got several of those emails telling me how wrong you are and how full of yourself you are and P.S. they did not say it to kiss the site owners ass.
That comment of mine was just below those, KIND OF HARD TO MISS.
Bullshit this comment is doing just the opposite:
"I’ll continue to post here until such time as the OWNERS of this site no longer wish to see my posts.
If you don’t like my posts, don’t read them.
You don’t have a problem with not thinking so not reading should be easy for you."
Finally, so was I. I was not just talking about this but at all times. I expect it out of myself and everyone else.
I would expect nothing less.Quote:

So, it's OK when it's you but it is not OK when its someone else like Havashka does it? If you expect it from others then why privately send me messages asking me to stop Havashka?Quote:

Charles I dont know about you but I dont keep anything that long. The proof is look at what happen the first time people had a chance to jump ship. Now only a twit would not realize that and take it for what it was, a clear slap in your face.
Once again you are a twit if you think that had anything and I mean ANYTHING to do with SIRIXM. It was an arguement about an arguement and should have been deleted, if we follow your standards. Why you cant admit you fricked up when you clearly did is beyond me. This is exactly what everyone was talking about you where clearly proven wrong and you still could not admit it.
Finally as said before it was clear Havashka had done no research on most of the threads he tossed up. Also because the alternative was for me to toss up thread after thread after thread which is what you had a problem with in the beginning IF YOU REMEMBER. Since I now see you dont anymore, I will also do it. Just remember when your front page has nothing on it but politcal titles, It was YOU that said you had no problem with it. Now Charles dont change your mind AGAIN and say you were right again.
Or did you forget about this:
http://siriusbuzz.com/forum/showthre...?t=2503&page=3
goto post 23, dhaaaaaaaa, dhaaaaaaa, I am Charles and I have been proven to be wrong but yet somehow I will say I was correct, dhaaaaaaaa.
Who feels threatened by me? Why would you feel threatened by me? What can I do to you or take from you? I have no idea what you are even arguing, I have never threatened to kick you off this site or anything. You are fighting a fight that does not exist.Quote:

Maybe it will be when I have a chance to review everything this weekend. Maybe you are right, I havent read the whole thing. See, you see a nice long thread of back and forth conversation down a page... I am an admin so, when I login I see every single comment on one paginated table. I dont see all the comments pertaining to one single article, I see them all, totally out of context sorted by time and time only.Quote:

How does me saying "This is where we merge all of the inappropriately-titled-childish-bantering from the last few hours. " mean that I am wrong? I never said you couldn't post a bunch of political threads in the political forums... NEVER.Quote:

Again, I NEVER said you couldn't post topical threads in a civilized manner. Post all the political threads you want. In fact I say that I have no problem with it at all just a couple of posts down from your example http://siriusbuzz.com/forum/showpost...2&postcount=27
This is the best post of the day by far. Good try.Quote:

Yea I guess Newman and daimen where weak sheep, right. You lost many that came over from SA but you also lost alot of long time posters also. So dont even try to say you are correct.
No Charles, you dont get it most could not stand you. I felt sorry for Tyler because I knew why most left.
As I said and have shown I dont have a problem arguing with a twit. I like to show how much of a twit they are. Call it what you will I just have fun doing it and yes I think we should keep score at kids baseball games!!!
Hummm lets see here it took you all of a few hours the first time and then all of a few minutes the second time to delete both of my post but it will take you till the weekend to get to the others, really who are you trying to kid. How does it feel to be nailed to the wall again because I just did.
I am not asking for perfection what I am asking for is you to admit you messed up. That if what you say is the case then how it only took a few minutes to find and delete my post out of all the rest is just unbelievable. if we are to believe you.
As for what Havashka and I were doing was IT WAS YOU THAT FIRST SAID YOU DID NOT LIKE IT.
http://siriusbuzz.com/forum/showthre...?t=2503&page=3
HEY WAS THAT LINK CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU. So Charles who had the problem with it was it just me or did you also piss and moan about it.
Once again nailed you to the wall. God its good to have a good memory it took all of 3 minutes to find that post.
