| I know the banned member pieter from a distance and not as well as many of you guys. I have spoken to him on the phone many times, He like to call me seuntjie. Yes he is a passionate koi keepr and has huge amounts of knowldge and will do anything for friend or stranger if koi is involved...a nice guy if you get to know him but he also has another side where he can be a bit direct. (In other words he calls a spade a spade).
One must take resposibility for your actions regardless if you where provoced or whether it is in your personal nature and as i understand its not as if he did not get warnings from the admin prior to being banned on many occasions.
This is the first ban ever on this forum but its not Pieters first ban from a forum.
I do think a 1 year ban is a bit excessive for a local member that have positively contributed to the forum on many other occasions but that is my personal view in the matter and im not going to try and get admin to change the rules for a particular member. In the end we must all adhere to the rules and regulations of a forum if we want to take part on it.
So can we now please accept what has happened and move on? This topic is really putting a damper on the rest of the forum. |

| Guys, this specific matter has a long history of which you do not know all the details. After consultation with various members, I decided that it is not in the interest of either one of the two individuals under discussion or the hobby or this forum to disclose the history. This is why all posts by this member on the same issue was continuously deleted since 2008 in the first place. There is also no sense in discussing it further without all the details available. Lets concentrate on more positive aspects of the hobby. This matter is now closed and I am locking the thread. |
