Yes I realize this should be elsewhere but it will get plenty of views here till it gets moved.
I spoke with him on another automotive forum the other day and found out he was banned.
I'd like to take the time to thank moderator turbo/Andy for engaging in blatant moderator abuse by demanding someone apologize for a perceived slight taken by another member, and then banning xpensive for not kowtowing to his every wishes.
It's disgusting when a long time member who whether you agreed with him or not, was a great contributor to this site. He also was a legit engineer who knew his stuff far better than a lot of the purported technical geniuses with no actual real world experience.
Good job turbo...keep going with that Napoleonic complex you've got that shows up every time when you threaten posters in PM and they tell you how it is.
Edit: Maybe I'll get banned for this too. Wouldn't surprise me.
