Well Once you are BANNED you cannot look at ANYTHING but I have an idea as the English moderator took offence by saying I was hateful towards another person BUT HERE'S the thing... no names were mentioned and I merely stated something that I found peculiar (not by the way the 2 people were dressed, Oh No(but I noticed what they were wearing..Cops do !!) but when they spoke which is when I thought oh okay .) so I although I have told Harvey and Ernie over the phone the moderator called ME hateful, , and that I was breaking their rules and ALSO that by asking modellers how they were getting along in group builds(which I always try and support unlike the moderator in question, or ask how goes it... The man from England said that I was HARRASSING modellers and THAT IS WHY THEY DID NOT UPDATE THEIR BUILDS OR POST ANYTHING... REALLY !! MOST probably they didn't post because they had too much going on .. anyway according to him(and of course in his PM to ME he went our of his way to LOOK AT GROUP BUILDS I had followed and inserted those likes in the PM accusing ME if harrased the members... yet NO more wrote to ME to say Back off, you are harrass8ng us !! I was following Gazzas build over there and turning Japanese and he quote Turning Japanese thread saying I was harrassing !! he then also has a go at MY own thread of Oath Of Allegiance that I said I was proud to have taken father Oath for HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II to Serve Her and country .. the moderator picked on that saying "you obviously have not kept to the OATH If I am HARRASSING, being hateful and not addressing the issues he pointed out.. (I wonder how many times he did something in line of duty where Ihe got stabbed or hit head on By a driver who had stolen a vehicle which I was attempting to stop, or shot at several times and had to take cover in a prickly holly Bush till the police helicopter came to MY rescue) I DID !!.) But he has been the ONLY one the moderators who has constantly picked on ME... I think he i has a Napoleon syndrome!!. So as someone said, if you are not in their clique set of buddies or if you are nice and helpful and mindful , he will get you!! 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been a pleasure interacting with you on the other forum. Modern life is a funny thing, people type things on forums that they wouldn't even think about saying in real life face to face. There is a lot of aggression and unwillingness to see others point of view unfortunately. As Mr PanzerWomble points out - it is just bits of plastic, glue and paint, we're not dealing with life and death ! Looking forward to continued interaction with you here !! neil Thank you . Nice words from you. I look forward to being here. 👍 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, forget LSP, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere of LSM, Maru Hubert Hello Hubert, OMG ,, you're HERE.. I wondered where the Heck you'd gotten to..

Well this is SO NICE.... MY Mind was expecting it to happen from the day the new moderator came and Ian(from Cotswold UK, stepped down) I asked LSP Matt the Administrator to close MY lsp account and he said "okay well ... I won't burden you any further. if that is what you want I will respect your wishes ". and wished ME well and a happy new year.. 👍 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 9, 2023 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2023 There is room on the web for two excellent Large Scale forums, and I wish the absolutely no harm. None. If they find there is a staff problem, I hope and pray they get the issue handled soon. They’ve lost a lot of good members over the years, to the benefit of us. I wish them no harm, only good, but the poison pen can destroy years of work in a very few seconds. I suggest we all focus our efforts on building, we have a great and wide open GB going on, and let them sort out their problems, which I’m sure they will. We have the best bunch here, and it’s growing on a daily basis. Thank you, LSP, for your help in growing our awesome forum here. 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hey Maru! Whoa, I did not see that coming! I have also witnessed some rather nasty back and forth between members over at the other forum, but have NEVER seen anything but sincere and admirable behavior from you! I have been a member here for a while, though honestly do not post a lot. I visit the other one from time to time, and yesterday noticed that someone was asking where you were. Someone said you had left, and I really wondered WHY? I am sad to hear that someone (or some people) singled you out, as you are one of the most pleasant, thoughtful people I know on these forums. I have to admit, a forum that treats Maru that way is a forum I don't really want to visit anymore. Sorry for the long winded reply, it's good to see you are doing well here! 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
