This kind of thing does split the supra community. There is not one single place we can all go.
If there's a ban that is unjustified, you let me know about it and I'll take a look.

With banning contributing members they are gone and their knowledge on current issues is lost.
When a member runs a group buy, we excpect... No.. We
demand that they conduct themselves in a professional manner. Jaguar did not, and went the extra mile to start a flame war, tell everyone he's 'doing them a favor' and that they aren't his customers so they can just go to hell if they have a complaint.
Those actions led to my telling him his group buy days were over. His reaction to that? A calm reply? A request to reconsider? No, instead we got an embarrassing public meltdown, complete with name calling.
That subsequent set of actions led to a ban. Why? Not because he called me names. People call me names all the damned time. But because he disrupted the peace of this forum and went unhinged. We learned long ago that when someone loses it like that, they aren't going to stop. They are going to drag it into every thread they can, edit posts and just generally act like a two year old. That disrupts the forum, and that's what we don't allow to happen. We ban them quickly. Is he ever welcome back? That's up to him.

Not trying to be "disobedient" but Mike you have become "the man"
Hell, you don't have to be "obedient" - you follow the rules - you aren't banned - and disagreeing with me isn't going to put you in any jeopardy around here.
This forum is constantly growing. And our members keep coming back, and the number of unique, logged in users, grows every day. Over a thousand people come to this site every day. Over seven thousand people visit this site on a regular basis. That isn't because this forum is poorly run by some tyrannical maniac.
Less than 1% of users have any level of problems around here. Less than 10% of those reach the point where bans are issued.
That 1/10th of 1% can go elsewhere, we don't need them, no matter what they bring to the table (knowledge, experience, etc) is overshadowed by their bad behavior and disruption to the site.
But as I said, you don't have to agree with me, you're entitled to your opinion. And as long as you present it in a way that doesn't disrupt the operations of this site, no one on the staff will even say "boo" to you about it.
Jaguar unhinged, and that's why he's not welcome here. Period.
