My Ban Update

Well its been settled. Gatehouse sent me a PM and explained why I was banned the second time from HBC. He said the second thread I started was confrontational. Whatever.

He gave me the choice to be reinstated, all the while making it look like HBC would be doing me a favour. I thought I would give him one last chance to do the right thing, and he decided not to reinstate me.

I have never dealt with such arrogance and immaturity from a fellow hunter.

A site I enjoy is Graybeard Outdoors,,'go2gbo.com'. It has 38960 members, 1500356 post & 190336 topics as of today. Lots of info there, and no BS like HBC.

Hey, I took the time to contact you and see if you wanted to be reinstated, left the ball in your court. Sorry, if you aren't going to be able to dictate how you are to receive a free service. As Cariboo pointed out, there are lots of other forums. Or you can do what most of the people banned form HBC do and just join up again with another name and stay out of trouble.

Its one cowardly move after another. You don't get it. The onus should not be put on me to decide if I should be reinstated. I have presented my case now it is up to you, HBC, or whoever makes these decisions, to decide. Why can't you just get down off your high horse, accept at least part of the blame, and make a decision.

Can you explain why you didn't just send me a warning after that comment I made about you sleeping with a blow up doll?

Many members have sent me PM's about being banned themselves from HBC with no explanation and for no good reason. I have looked up their usernames, looked over their posts and found nothing wrong. HMM.....intersting.

Seems like we have a difference of opinion. I'll leave it at that.

(Usually posts that get people banned get deleted, BTW)

Its obvious that you realize banning me the first time was wrong, and you aren't man enough to admit it. Now be a man and do your job as a moderator, and decide whether you should reinstate me or not.

Actually, just the opposite.

I tried to help, you want to fight. So be it....
