Speaking of baloney.... I have popped up 3600 times, at least a couple of thousand times before CK got tossed off TM and came here. I have contributed to this site since 2003. You've been here since yesterday, have 5 posts, 3 are about CK and/or about long term members, all posted in this thread. Did I miss something here?
Anyway, I read all your posts. Please be fair and do the same with mine before you accuse me of popping "up whenever there is conflict and thrive on the misery and problems of others, never helping, but only exacerbating already heated issues. "
If you weren't referring to me.... ooops. _________________ Conn 6B

Forgot... welcome to the site. Being a contributing member is better than lurking. Lots of great stuff posted in the Forums. I've learned more from TH about trumpets, trumpeters and some about playing than I can state. Great site. _________________ Conn 6B

Hi
This may be a daft question, but has Capt.Kirk definitely been banned. Maybe I am misunderstanding, but his profile still says Heavyweight member, or do profiles remain as they were after people have been banned?
I suppose I was expecting his profile to say Ex-Member or something.
Anyway, I was just asking.
Take Care everyone.

If/when a member gets banned, he is restricted from further postings, but posts that already exist will remain. At least that is my understanding. _________________ Dan Burton

Quote: | Diversity and tolerance, kids. |
I would, of course, agree with the sentiment, (but I'm too old to be called a kid).
But those two qualities do not apply to CK-nor did he ever aspire to them.
It should be a two way street and I'm reasonably sure the moderators contacted him at least several times about his conduct in the forum.
Mostly, it was his way or the highway. He chose the highway. _________________ My and my son's horns:

There is really no way to get banned from a forum like TH. The code can deny an IP address, email address or username. Mr. Kirk can read these posts from another IP address. I am not a lawyer but have been sued over Internet Copyright issues. This is an emerging area. I hired better lawyers and won. Libel and slander have a very high standard and the WWW is the really the Wild Wild West.
Perceived anonymity can allow one to become arrogant and disrespectful. I try not to sink to that level but I certainly have in the past. I am working on that!
I find this entire situation rather sad but such it is on anonymous forums. When I was a union boss we did not allow anonymous posts. But then, we broke a few knee caps to get our point across.

It was a simpler time... and having lived in Detroit in the 1960s, a simpler place as well.
Merry Christmas to all. _________________ Conn 6B

You're correct that anyone can read the posts here (it's an open forum) but you can absolutely be "banned" from posting because privilege is reserved for registered members.
If Kirk was banned he can absolutely read posts here, and from another IP he can attempt to register under a new name, but because of his "unique" communication style he would be quickly identified.
The real-life identities of many people who post here (including Kirk) are known, so there's not as much anonymity as you may think. _________________ 1987 Bach Strad 37

... some of the posts on TH cross into the legal category of libel. They are definitely defaming craftsmen's character and are written.
If I am right, and I may be wrong, it would seem that TH and it's moderators would want to do their best to avoid being caught up in a libel suit. But I am just your average citizen and not a lawyer. |
Well, I am trained as lawyer, although my practice was in a very rarified form of finance and I am retired and not an active member of any state of federal bar. Deliberately causing the publishing of falsehoods for the purpose of harming another, financially or in reputation, is libel and the harmed person could maintain a suit for damages. (Whether the person harmed would win and if so what the compensation might be is always a difficult prediction.)
Someone knowingly aiding and abetting a person guilty of libel might also be subject of a suit -- although in the case of a moderator of an openly argumentative forum, proving that there was any duty between the moderator and the harmed person might be pretty hard.
Personally, I don't know what the moderators should do in the present circumstance. I don't like ugly controversy -- that's why I'm not a moderator of anything. If I were a moderator, I would resign.
Again, personally, I am quite upset at these events on TH. Through TH, I discovered DQ and received some of the best personal service I have ever encountered -- then I see that terrible name-calling going on in the 4-valve thread against Michael. There may no libel in the thread because there may be no actual intent to harm -- it's sophmoric and for sure there is no redeeming merit either -- probably just grandstanding by someone who wants to attract attention.

Hi
Thanks guys for the clarification.
I was asking, because as far as I remember, on the now ended Brass-Forum UK, members who were banned or who had asked to leave, screen names had Ex-Member written under their profile name, rather than Heavyweight member etc., and I have a feeling that their screen name was kind of greyed out.
You couldn't view the profile of these members, or PM them.
I just expected the same on here.
Never mind.
Take Care

Can I quote you on that? (Oh wait, I just did)
