That's a different type of ludicrous, in my opinion! You didn't come on and say anything! You usually do! I having nothing else to say!
Let me try to explain a bit, what Seanchai said was inappropriate to a certain extent. MrKnockOut is a friend/person I know in the real world, so yes I didn't like the name calling and temp banning being leveled at him, I'm biased. Even if I didn't know MrKnockOut I'd still think the situation was a bit harsh. However; Seanchai is British, (not an excuse) "cunt", "twat", "bullocks" etc, while still negative terms are much more common in their vernacular than our American lingo, so I don't see the word as being as harsh as some whom may not be familiar with it's use in the UK. MrKnockOut sole intent was to cause trouble with that thread, as I had answered all his queries regarding the matter months prior (IRL) to that incident, and he still brought it to the public forum as if we had never had those discussions and even twisted my words for his own agenda. I did respond in MrKnockOut thread on nearly every single page, but you must be doing what he did and ignored my post, thats not my problem. This forum is part of Seanchai castle and as the owner he can say what he wishes. I have always tried very hard to be fair and can't recall any name calling "toward members" (other than one incident in which I publicly apologized for). You yourself have done a good share of name calling to me personally, both publically and through your venomous hatemail you send in PM to me, and yet here you are. So no, everyone will not get banned simply for name calling but if I feel the situation warrants it I will do what I feel is necessary. In many instances YOU don't see the initial actions I take toward a member causing trouble on here. I usually issue an infraction first along with a couple warnings sent to the member stirring up trouble through the PM system. It is usually after these steps have been taken that I actually ban someone, though there are instances where someone gets banned immediately.
