I think Chris is lying. I think he built a subwoofer so powerful it caused a sonic shockwave that blew his arm out of his shoulder. So, um, can I buy it? :D

Take care and get well.

Good that you're getting back in business

If I only knew about this I would post a series of critical posts, knowing that WmAx would not get back with his sharp remarks :p

Are you maintaining the point is that he deserves a ban? Let randy take WmAx through what ever legal means that is available to him.

I have no personal vendetta against WmAx and as matter of fact have been the beneficiary of his help many times.

I haven't seen a single thing from Chris that would ever merit even a warning/infraction much less a ban.:mad::confused:

In my humble view that is undermining the authority and judgment of your fellow moderators. I think these types of differences of opinions should be discussed behind closed doors, so to speak, in future.

Well what can I say other than I disagree with you.

I believe my statement has merit both as a member and as a moderator of the HTPC forum.

While I understand free speech is reserved for public institutions I believe Chris deserves some of my respect and a show of public support. Obviously if we can't air out opinions of this publicly then AH wouldn't my my main board of choice. I believe that the sight operators do afford that hospitality to all forum members (mods or not).

Plus nothing of what I said (IMO) undermines anyone's authority here. Gene, Clint, et al aren't the insecure type in the least (nor should they be).

When it is all said and done I know Chris has created a problem that he needs to clean up. But he has contributed more than his fair share to the people at large here.

Randy has every right to be upset ( I know I would be ) and he has 100% legitimate options available to him. Which I personally suggest he takes. I would how ever like to keep the curds and whey separated so to speak.

Sight mods: If you feel that any of this is truly in disrespect of you or the AH forum in general, let me know and I will redact my two posts in this thread.

I'm not really concerned about the merits of the banning. However a decision was made and second guessing it I don't think can do any good.

My assessment is that Chris has suffered significant embarrassment over all of this, and I don't think this should be opened again.

Chris has been given a reasonable path to return in good standing. Until then I vote for locking the two threads involved, to avoid more piling on.

In the end taking a contrary point of view, as a moderator, whatever its merits can not help Chris in any way, and only invites further airing of an unfortunate situation.

Personally I think it is time to respect decisions made, close the threads and move on for now. I hope Chris will work to rectifying this issue, so we can give him a big and generous welcome back.

I'd hate to see anyone else get in trouble over this unfortunate situation.

No posting posts accusing or screaming at Audioholics, admins or the moderators UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR ABOUT ANY SUBJECT or, as another example, demanding answers if a "most favored poster" is banned. If you have a question, PM a moderator. If you start demanding to know "WHY???" on the forum where everyone on the Internet can see it, you'll get one opportunity to shut up, and then you will follow the "most favored poster." We are here to keep the forum running smoothly, not to play favorites, explain ourselves, or to exempt certain people from behavior that, if a newbie did it, would elicit screams of "Ban him!" from half the membership. If we do something, it's for a reason. If we make a mistake, we'll rectify it, but demanding answers in public will almost invariably make the entire moderator team annoyed at you and more determined NEVER to change the decision, so think before you do this.

And Rick, that provision hasn't been breached...

So far no one has screamed (I didn't see an all caps posts). No one 'demanded' anything from any mod. Basically a lot of quizzical scratching of the head. It has taken people by surprise and with that came natural curiosity.

Jinjuku,

If BoredSysAdmin thanks you one more time I think you
should put a restraining order on him for sexual harassment. :D

Its pretty obvious that the moderators stance that banned him wanted him to spend time on building and eventually delivering speakers to RandyB rather than wasting that time posting on forums.

I thank jin since I agree with his opinions and I applaud his debate skills and ability to eloquently express himself....

Well, maybe he should get that restraining order after all :D

it's not a permanent ban. once he finishes randy's speakers, he will be unbanned. (as far as i understand the ban, the reason being the quote below)

Its pretty obvious that the moderators stance that banned him wanted him to spend time on building and eventually delivering speakers to RandyB rather than wasting that time posting on forums.
exactly. helpful as he is ... he can help a million people out here (that he doesn't have to) or he can finish the speakers he was supposed to.
