The post that was quoted here has been removedIn my time on the RHP forums a few members stick out in my mind as being helpful and an important part of this forum - FatLady being one of them. MerchantParkPro's posts have been historically abusive and a large portion have been deleted, this is Fat Lady's first offense. Comparing this to the length of other bans on this site is almost laughable. Honestly, shorten the ban.
Originally posted by XanthosNZI think not alerting MPP when he verbally abuses people is the main problem, but Fat Lady should not have to bear all the heat for trying to fix the problem....As it happens, another user told me about this guy, his real name, and his history on other sites just before Fat Lady's post, so he has History......Are we shooting the messenger here ?
This is the real problem.
Originally posted by wormwoodFat Lady contributes so much that (in my humble opinion) this forum (Only Chess forum) suffers more by bannnin Fat Lady than Fat Lady himself does.
the rules can't be different even if the offender was a 'good guy' and the offended someone obnoxious, but a ban of years for the post which I did saw is ridiculous.
He has much support from us here, we (almost) all agree than the penalty fror his action is too harsh. He has got his warning for this, I think this is enough.
Please, lift the ban.
