I know one of the people banned on here and he has been super duper helpful to me. By him being banned it has taken alot away in the form of "help and advice" for me. I personally have not found him to be bullying anyone, but I haven't read all threads on here. But I think that by him being removed the loss is great because his ideas, fixes and advice are a treasure, money saving most of the time, spot on, and I have parts on their way to me here in Mexico because of him and his help! I wish he was here because he had me coming back again and again because he was so friendly and helpful.

I knew someone was missing from this thread. I don't think Mike is a bully, at least not intentionally. He lacks a filter between his brain and his typing finger. I know he has helped a lot of people with his gadgets. He does come off as "mean" at times, but I don't think he " means " to.

Very true coz, Mike and I have had some disagreements and back and forth banter in the past, but none of it was ever personal. Just a few guys disagreeing about a common hobby and butting heads....nothing more.
Sad not to see him here as I know he has done a lot to try to help a lot of folks.

The Boss started this thread on the 4th. If Mike's account has been shut down for a week; he can have it fired back up by asking...

The Mike being referred to is BlueKnight, right? I agree that sometimes his comments came across a little insensitive, know-it-all, and in an in-your-face way, but I sure wouldn't put him in a bullying classification. He's just one of those guys who have a hard time understanding why others can't be as resourceful and inventive as he is, and says so in so many words. But a bully, no, not in my book.

I think that without Mike on this forum it will be so boring that I may have to find somewhere else to play. We haven't always agreed but I know that Mike is not a bully or unkind, in fact he is one of the most helpful people on SL. I would much prefer to read his comments then to read the ones from people that have nothing to add to a conversation but they post anyway. A week or so ago there was a thread that got rather heated and someone threatened to report Mike for his posts on that thread, I guess they followed through with their threat, I hope they're happy. Edit: Actually, I don't hope they are happy at all.

I'm friendly and helpful....and I try very hard not to pee on anyone's tires.
The explanation given by Lamont in his original post seems pretty clear and self evident to me.
Many views of the thread seem more than appropriate. Many responses....maybe yes, maybe no.
Having said that, I guess I'm obligated to add my opinion to the mix.
There is a big difference between being a bully and being an ass-wipe.
Nevertheless, they share one common characteristic: They both irk me beyond words.
That's why I use the "ignore" button.
