where is the poll? And I hope you are not going the direction with this I think you are going. If so, it could be your last night here.

I think the point of this is to prove that he, along with others, here for help and assistance. I think we (don't know if i count) have been harsh and rude towards him. Some more than others, If the answer is already in the forums just politely point it out and if you don't have the patience don't respond. Remember the saying "If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all."

caveatipps please create an actual poll otherwise I will need to close this thread since we already have several threads that discuss nothing at all

We try to minimize the junk so that way people can always get substance when they come here. Thanks!

Ok caveatipss, you've been banned for 1 week because as Martha Stuart would say "you just don't fit in."

Take this mini-vacation as a chance to figure out what you can do to become a better, more responsible member of Mac-Forums.

Unfortunately iWonder, I believe what you're perceiving as rudeness is just frustration by the members. caveatipss was given many, many, many polite tips and answers early on but chose to ignore them all.

I myself have PMed him several times asking him to change some of the things he was doing however he completely ignored it all.

Unfortunately I believe his intent here was more to cause drama than for anything productive or useful. Perhaps his temporary ban will help him think about what changes he needs to make when/if he returns.

My advice to him is if he can't change, he shouldn't come back.

you even PMed him about his attitude and he didn't listen to you. then i guess he deserves his 1 week vacation.
