What the Hell ever happened to? ...

[Sunrise Reptile]

I've seen some come and go. No big deal. And then there are others that are here one day, active as all get-up, and banned the next.

One I've never heard anything about was "Ccrashca069", a.k.a. John. I asked myself for a long time what happened to that guy. I know he visited Marcia a couple times, so I'm really stumped.

If you'd prefer not to say, then that's fine too. Thanks!

John and I are pretty good friends and we talk from time to time.. I prefer not to say what happened.. plus I don't exactly know the entire story anyway.. but he's doing well these days

If you have myspace, I can send you the link to his..

John had a problem getting a warning for using profanity on the general forums, so he started getting beligerant and abusive with the moderators about it. At the time, we had the "3-Strike Rule" so he wound up getting a 2-week time out. During that time, he kept coming back under different user names and doing the same thing, so he used all his chances and got banned permanently.

 

[Sunrise Reptile]

Yeah, not cool. I don't understand why, if you get suspended using one user name, you would feel compelled to make up another name and harass people about the same old shit? To me, it would be better to let both parties cool down, then attempt to discuss the situation after your suspension time elapses. It's easier to discuss things when all the tension is gone. I dunno. To me that road seems a little less bumpy. :main_huh: :main_rolleyes:

Anyhow, Thanks for clearing that up Marcia! :main_thumbsup:

 

[fallen_angel]

It wasn't like that.. I didn't want to jump in because this is basically hear-say.. but I remember him saying that the second user name that was created was actually his wife, and not him. He was always a ball of fire though, I can tell ya that :main_yes:

And I guess he was also upset because Marcia didn't really talk to him or acknowledge him at a show. Don't kill the messenger Marcia! lol that's all I ever heard about it, so like I said, I don't know the entire story.

He sent me a pretty abusive email after I busted him for using one of my registered domain names on another forum, and was very adament about how we were no longer friends and he never wanted to speak to me again. (I'll find the email somewhere...) I was vending at the Sacramento Show, and he never stopped by my booth. I did see him at the LLL Reptile booth, and did not acknowlege him. Why should I have? He made it VERY clear we were NOT firends, and he wanted nothing more to do with me.

It was him posting, not his wife. From what I understand his wife has pretty much no interest in the geckos and thus no reason to post animals for sale and etc.

First email I got from John-

The following message was sent to you via the GeckoForums.net Contact Us form by John ( mailto:[email protected] ).

--------------------------------

I would like to know why my ISP is blocked and why I am banned.
Is it because Marcis accused me of having 2 screen names? If it is I told her I didn't. I told her I have a network and it was someone else using my network. If you need to know more how home networks work and Routers ask Jim. So ask Marcia how does it feel to delete My Wife Jeannie's profile. Just because I used the screen name she accused me of using on GF.net on a different site does not mean it is me as anouther user on GF.net. Every site I am signed up at has my name. BTW Marcia you now lost my wife as a friend.

Is it because Marcia accused me of stealing her domain name "Geckos Galore"? I told Marcia I did not steal her domain. I told her how I came up with the name Geckos Gallore.

I BCC a copy of Marcia messege with my response to a few people. Is that why I am banned and blocked? BTW a couple of the people that read it say Marcia is wrong and can't believe I am banned and blocked. I BCC to those people so people can see the truth with their own eyes not what other people want then to believe.

Or am I blocked and Banned because I question things and stand up for what I believe is right?

I am waiting your response.

His reply to that-

If you ask Jim how home networks and routers work, he would tell you that basicly it allows more then 1 computer in your home or network to use the same internet. It will use the same ISP. So I do not see how you can accuse me of having more then 2 screen names. But just for ammusement check every ISP of every member on GF.net and see how many have the same ISP. I can't tell you every person screen name but there are at leaste 6 or more. So does that mean each one is the same person using a different screen name?
And we used my wife's sn Geckos Gallore on GF.net because I was showing her how to do things on it. And just because I used Geckos Gallore on a different site does not mean I had 2 screen names on GF.net. Where does it state on GF.net I can only use the screen name I made there on other sites and not use a different one on others? See again you base 2 different websites same person but different screen name. I still do not see how you can say I had 2 screen names on GF.net..

As far as talking to your mods, when they can stop messeging or emailing me without bitching, attacking or belittling me I will more then gladly talk to them normally. Point out to me what I am wrong about and I will appoligise but I will not appoligise when mods do the already mentioned things first. Now if the mods appoligise to me for talking the way to me then I will appoligise back. When I was Banned in August because of the email I got from Debbie, it was an email bitching that I reported a post and I suposily got a email response from you expaining something to me. Like I told Debbie then and I am telling you now, if such an email was sent to me I never got it. Also since then I barely posted anything in the forum in the last month. So just because I did not see the point of Debbie posting the link to the Bio about Repster in the Shipping section when the Bio was not about shipping I just stated that. I personally did not care for how David responded in the Bio but the Bio was not about the Shipping. If Repster is so bad then why does Marcia have their logo on her webpage?

This is the main reason I waited a few days. Because I wanted to make sure of my wording and make sure the messege would not read as an attack or anything. So instead I get a response back getting exactly that. I will send this email to the people that feel me being banned and block is wrong and let them make their desion to email you about it or not. I believe in showing everything not just everything one sided so people can make their own descions.

Thanks for having such a closed mind and not investigate.

John

The guy's a loose canon and was verbally abusive one time too many to the mods. I have no use for people like him on GeckoForums.

 

[fallen_angel]

Yeah I was just re-iterating what I had been told, long long ago.. I tried to never really get in the middle of it

 

[JordanAng420]

He sounds like he'd be more fit for the Fauna boards :main_laugh:

 

[Sunrise Reptile]

Kelli, that's not fair! :main_no: I'm sure John had a couple more excuses he wanted to share with you.

:main_laugh:

He's pretty all over the place in his messages. :rolleyes4: The guy strikes me as a bit of a loose cannon. :bomb:

 

[yellermelon]

You guys should see some of the off the wall stuff he sent me. I had a trade deal with him...8 months later he emailed me (after being banned from here) saying an enigma he bought from me died..8 MONTHS later...I would have no problems working with him..it was all the ...childishness and e-thuggin i couldnt handle. either way Maybe hes reading this...still waiting on that Fattail to fullfill your end of the trade John..lol yeah doubt ill see that one!
