I think even a temp ban was a bit much, but whatever.

I agree.

We all get a little angry sometimes. Warb was a good forum member.

It’s a temp ban. He isn’t barred from the club.
And I think some time to cool down could do him some good. He seemed so upset that he could no longer understand what people were even trying to say and started jumping to ridiculous conclusions that nobody was bringing up.

Come back when ya can, Warb. Till then, you’ll be missed.

Warbler is, and will likely continue to be, a good and valued forum member.

He has a couple of days off to hopefully have a re-think about posting inflammatory pictures without explanation or context - and also not actually reading posts that he is replying inflammatory content to.

A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

I still disagree with the decision and was about to write a whole rant on why, but I’ve decided it’s best to drop the issue at this moment.

I can see both sides of the argument, frankly, but as you say it’s probably best to drop it.

Warb’s jumped to extreme conclusions before, but we’ve always brought him back from the brink. His posts were hardly the most inflammatory ones in that discussion IMO, they were just the most outrageous posts that people bothered to read. I hope he returns.

Yeah, and even when you read them, half the time they don’t make any sense…so how do you ban someone when you don’t even know what they’re saying?

I heard a lot of references to AWK. I always kind of wondered who he was. I knew he was a fan of the prequels and the SEs (which he’s obviously entitled to), but this new information is not something I was familiar with, and is frankly disturbing.

New information? And where have you been hearing about him? Lol

Is that a New York Stock Exchange code?

I’d hear him referenced from time to time, but never heard this particular disturbing tidbit.

Hardly anyone knows what you are talking about because you’ve provided no context.

AWK = adamwankenobi

Read the OP for (a very limited amount of) context.

Has Bingo been banned?

Edit: I think it is just the way his avatar looks.

Not sure avatars that look like they’ve been banned is a good idea.

Where were you in '77?

Whatever you guys are yapping about it hasn’t made its way into my phone’s cache yet, so it’s not in my personal Cannon.

But once it is, you will fire it, correct?

I’d go so far as to say it shouldn’t be allowed.

Is Warb banned again?

Unfortunately, yes.

This time for a week - another cool-off temp-ban.

Dear Bingo,

Please fix your avatar. It’s extremely confusing.

Thanks,
