Lawnsaver banned JA because, and this is what was told to me, there were disrespectful profanities directed at LS by JA in a PM(s). Obviously the whole thing started on the open board as far as I know but the bottom line is our Mods are to be treated with respect, not because they are simply Mods but because IMO as well as many others, our Mods have earned the respect they are due. Hell, I will say that for the amount of behind the scenes work that Mods do, they should be treated with respect by anyone gracing their respective boards. Thats just the way it should be.
Honestly, I like JA. I even called with him on the phone awhile back in order to clear up a pretty serious issue because I respected the way he felt about that situation and wanted to clear the air so to speak.
But no matter how much I like someone, I cant and will not, go against one of my Mods' decisions especially one where the Mod produces specific PM's in the Mod forum that back his claim of being blatantly disrespected. Somewhere, sometime, a standard needs to be set and as much as I like JA, through the PM's I have seen, I agree with Lawnsaver's decision.
If making sure that our Mods get the respect they deserve gets us labelled as a "bad" board, then so be it.
Again, sorry to the staff for wasting bandwidth with this. I too would much rather discuss the improvement of our bodies through safe means and continue to help educate those who are in need of it but sometimes situation do in fact have 2 sides to the story.

I know you and I Biggie as board owners have had our differences but with your post you took the words out of my mouth... it was to the point, correct, needed and respectable and my hat tips to you!
I have had 2 mods here ban members where I even got into it with a mod before trying to get them to change there minds and unban them but when they want them banned even though I own the board and may disagree with them I will still let the ban stay and back them 100%!
I say JA just move on maybe later on if you want to post there they can unban you or you can get a new name and post then! Sorry for all involved this had to happen but as I originally said in my post above do not blame the board for what a mod does!
