Seeking a Moderator for the Moderators (4 Viewers)

Hmmm...

I seem to remember there was also an Isaac who behaved much the same on UA and was also banned.

Nah, cant be the same guy...

I remember UA's owner Gord Hubbell banning several well known members, including @ColinEssex, over trivial petty posts.

Could you elaborate on that statement please?
For the record, I have never been a member of UA. Although years ago there were some pretty spiteful characters here on AWF who may have used my username to tarnish my good character. (Not Pat)
Col

I joined UA in 2008-09 under a different handle, (no, not Frank). I remember UA's owner Gord Hubbell banning several well known members, including @ColinEssex, over trivial petty posts.

Perhaps you were confusing @ColinEssex with myself. We are both from the UK but aren't the same person!
I was banned from UA (my username at that time was ridders) around 2019.
Apparently it was for questioning why the owner had censored some posts in a thread both by myself and the OP. The gist was that I had mentioned this forum by name in an answer but because I questioned the owner's actions, he banned me and deleted all my posts.

If you and Frank aren't the same person, perhaps you should clarify what username you were using at UA over all those years!

I never terrorized anybody, my posts on UA were well behaved - in fact, I was VIP. until I got into a tiff with the moderators for how terrible they treated newcomers. It was because of that tiff that I was instantly banned, not any pattern of behavior. I am very open about the fact that I was banned from UA, and have brought it up several times, it's nothing hidden. In fact, I'm proud of myself that I stood up for someone who was being victimized by Jack Leach's awful arrogant and well known behavior toward newcomers who knew less than him. (apparently we know now why he was such a jerk - he was a *********).

I'll try to take a breath right now and not get upset, but I'm not sure why you would even say that. You know I got banned, but you're saying something completely and utterly untrue - I never misbehaved at UA, and IF you know the situation, then you know full well why I got banned - because I spoke up and said something pretty mean about Jack and another super moderator, which was to basically tell them they were acting like jerks to newcomers. I was instantly banned at that point. Prior to that I was a valued member, contributing substantially to the site and not only asking questions, especially in the Excel VBA forum. Prior to that speaking-up, I was a perfectly good member in good standing for a very long time - Years. My banning came because of a sudden speaking-up to defend a new comer who was being mistreated, not beaause I "behaved much the same on UA". I was a valued member for years.

So I"m not sure why you are taking this opportunity to slander me in an untrue way, but I'll let it go, because "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change".

Maybe you are just having a bad day and need to take it out on someone. I hope your day gets better!

Looks like UA had some bann-ers with trigger happy fingers. I tried to defend a newcomer who Jack was mistreating and got an instant and permanent ban, prior to that I was a VIP for years.

 

[Isaac]

Uh oh..

No, i'ts not. I've been very open about why I was banned from UA and anyone who was in the inner circle (Jack, Banana) knows what happened. There's no secret.

I'm not sure why cheekybuddha is lying about my behavior on UA, but the truth is I was a VIP even on the site for years, contributing substantially to the site until I got into an argument with the owners about how terrible they treated newcomers. For defending this person, I was instantly banned. Now we have more insight into just who Jack Leach really was.

I was just goofing around, I barely went on UA

Yeah I know, I'm just I was a little surprised at David's comment. I know David does not particularly like me, which is perfectly fine. But saying that I just generally misbehaved on utter access is completely untrue. I was a well-liked member of the site for a number of years and received dozens if not hundreds of profuse thank yous for instances of helping other members.

Out of curiosity, as I can't recall myself, what was your username at UA and when were you active?

Sent you a direct message

Still trying that argument?

I'm not even convinced that Col and Rich weren't the same person 20 years ago.

I meant to quote this as well:

"We are both from the UK but aren't the same person!"

Wasn't there a big debate about this years ago?
