Anyone heard from him? His last post was over a week ago and he is normally a frequent poster?

If you have to ask, you should probably PM a Mod. ;)

Hopefully he didn't rub somebody the wrong way so bad he's on permanent vacay... I kinda like the fella.

Unfortunately he could not only be very helpful, but also a major disruptor of threads in a manner totally uncalled for.
Maybe. But - and I realize perspectives vary - I just don't think he has posted anything more provocative than some other members who are still here. Just my opinion. I hope the mods reconsider.

I had a scan of that thread and yes, he pushed the boundaries of civility, but I don't think he was the only offender there.

Congrats on the AV10, by the way.
Agreed but that was just one example, there are other threads. I agree he is a loss in so many ways, but there is only so far you can go in tolerating a PITA.

1: I deleted many of the offending posts. So you lack that for context. It wasn't just one thread either.
2: Multiple reports by multiple members
3: When asked to keep non-steamvent threads civil he wouldn't. That's a big eff-u to mods here.

His ban wasn't without fair warning and reasonable ask to not go after other members.

I perm banned him. Unless Admin here see's it differently it's going to stay that way. I haven't banned an active member here in at least 5 years. Spammers, well that's a weekly occurrence.

It wasn't all based on what he posted. It was also where he posted. He was intentionally derailing other sub-forum threads. He and others have been asked to keep steam vent items in the steam vent. He refused to comply.

Another was the 'Love of Trains'. Your AV10 thread was where I asked him not to do what he was doing. Then he did it again.
Too bad, but I have to confess his ad hominem attacks were a major disruption on the forum and so unnecessary when he had so much to contribute.

This is usually out of character for Scandinavians, but may be his blood line was from the Vikings who plundered England and had half the country under Danelaw, until Alfred the Great got the better of them.

But in the end it was brains over physical strength. Alfred started research at Chatham on the Medway, to develop sailing boats that could sail multiple directions of the wind, not just at the stern sail and not require oars. It was an outstanding success and the Viking long ships were no match for these new sailing ships.

The final battle took place at Tilbury. That ended the Danelaw.

That is a long way of saying that regretfully you made the right call.
