Nobody has ever been banned from this site for having an opinion.

What did he say that motivated you threatening him with a ban?

Towns that's what i meant to say really, seems strange a threat to that post. just finding my feet but a bit concerned incase i say anything that runs against the grain now.

I wouldnt be too concerned mate, you will be fine.

Im guessing it might be somebody who has had a run-in with the mods before under another name?

Just to clear up (because this is derailing the actual thread – mea culpa: apologies mods)

I don't generally intervene on this board. And, for the record, I've never banned anyone off it.

A previous poster was banned for serial breaches of the AUP on a number of boards (which is why it was site wide and permanent, and why I took action as an admin): and the ban I instituted was from a post on another board. devilsdumplins is that poster in another guise: I didn't threaten him – I reminded him that he was banned sitewide and permanently [and I didn't do it via PM as I normally would, because he wouldn't be able to read it

). Just to reiterate and calm any fears: no-one's ever been banned off this site, or this board, just for having opinions, or expressing them.

Were generally very welcoming
