<br>No, I'm not a member anymore. Andy ... you know him ... the guy who incessantly whines and criticizes Marv and MikeP for their alleged Gestapo-like tactics ... oddly enough banned me for next to nothing. Now he refuses to reinstate me and instead chooses to ignore the fact (which has been repeatedly publicly voiced there) that the vast majority of his limited membership enjoyed having me there. This, however, doesn't stop him from repeatedly mentioning me on the site like he's got some sort of demented schoolgirl crush on me. It's really quite amusing.

Yeah, I never got an explanation for the booting I got either. It couldn't be for me saying that the place was a hollow shell of a board...I mean what else would you call it? Up to the point I got banned, I posted as much or more music there than anyone else (6 songs I think) and there were gaps of days between posts. That qualifies as a hollow shell.
Hell, I even got an e-mail from Z no less stating that Andy needed to pretend to be BMOC for a while, but that he would relent and let both Motors and I back. I won't even mention the one I got from Andy thanking me for the contributions I had made to the site...um, well I guess I just did. Andy seems to be suffering from a Napoleonic complex...not a good quality when you want a thriving board.
I'm sure I'm not MikeP's favorite poster, but to his credit, he realizes all opinion should be stated. The value and acceptance of that opinion will be determined by board discussion, as it should be.
I guess some people just can't accept the truth: either that, or there is a strong anti-cetacean sentiment on that board. Anyway, I still maintain that Motors and I were the best thing to happen there, and I'm willing to bet Andy is coming to realize that now.
