Anyone can see a members public information under their profile and ID. Kevin had already been given a public warning several months ago (as anyone can see). It's clear I don't care for the way he acts. However, A moderator not necessarily "liking" a member is never a reason to oust them from the board. IF that were the case there would be a few others banned for that reason alone. But when Kevin continually made divisive comments AND then challenged me saying nothing could be done to prevent someone from being on the board, well, that was enough. You don't point a gun at cop and dare them to shoot. As was said, it is ok to question everything. It is ok to question how this forum is run, any auction house, myself or any other moderator, member or company. However, if you challenge someone you should expect the challenge to be met. Kevin thinks it's easy to hack everything on the internet, including this forum. I don't think so. Sure, someone can crawl in without being verified enough but that is a far cry from hacking. (imo) My goal to not ban folks remains. It really does take quite a bit to be banned. A lot of members think it should be done sooner or more often but that is not our (my) MO on the board.
