Well, I'll Be Damned!!
But look here….?!Originally posted by Karl View Post
First, you guys (administrator and/or moderators) banned Sickko forever from posting on this message board, and now you guys are bigging him up, knowing that he can’t respond, and that he’s probably still too angry to even visit this forum!
Boy, I tell you…. My people are something else.
(
P.S. Karl, my friend, this is NOT necessarily directed towards you. I know you are a good person, and someone whom I’ve grown to respect highly over the past several years 
. I just linked this comment to the first moderator I saw, which just happened to be you.

Is that what happened? I thought he just stopped posting here on his own."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment

Nope, He is Banned
No, Islandman, he was banned. I have no idea what led to the banning, but if you check ANY post made by Sickko on this message board, regardless of date, you will see the word “banned” next to his name.Originally posted by Islandman View Post
Actually, SkengD is the person who made me aware of the ban when he posted a thread on this several months ago. (I believe that it might have been that thread in which I contributed by briefly recalling the “challenging” poster, Booma, who was banned almost a decade ago.)

Sickko was never banned from the RBSC Forum.
I am a bit surprised and disappointed that you, Historian, could be so...so...liberal with the truth regarding Sickko's status on the Forum. You have always been so careful with your choice of words, sentence structures and facts that I must say I'm a little flummoxed by this.
I mean, you could have asked!
Tsk, tsk!

Congrats to Paul A Reid. The man has always done good job with his writing. I have always said that. As far as I am concern the man was rude and offensive to me but it doesn't take away from his work.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

Sickko made a personal request to me to put his account in a banned state so he would not be tempted to post on the forum as he wanted to take a sabbatical. I tried talking him out of going the banned route but he was very persistent. I therefore gave in to his wishes.
So yes Historian, I am the one who banned Sickko. You can contact Sickko and ask him if what I said is the case or not."Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

Thanks, Tilla! I was trying to rile up Historian and you had to go and spoil it!
