It's a pity, he is a knowledgeable chap with lots of useful info to share.
But completely insufferable at times (most of the time)

Indeed. I’m sure his charitable work is commendable and the UNTAC submissions were fascinating.

Obviously your call, but somehow I found a lot of the times he was accused of dissing the k440 crowd, it came off as a bit odd since the way I read him he wasn't, but somehow a lot of people read it that way. Like his comment in this thread about the mother is better at English than a lot of posters didn't seem to focus on belittling other posters, more to emphasize that she was more than able to communicate in English. But not being an English first, I might of course have missed it if the nuance of the dismissal was indeed offensive.Alexandra wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 5:53 pm
That is not the case. Ot Mean Loi is not happy here and he is unable to contribute without pointing out how little we know and how stupid we all are. He has been warned several times but clearly that was not enough for him to change. When warnings don't stick permanent decisions become the only remaining option.
Either way, somebody needs to draw the line in the sand at times, and it's rarely an easy task.

I think it's clearer once you notice the pattern - the English comment wasn't a one-off, he always made disparaging little remarks along those lines. The funniest was his claim that his $75 hotel was better than what most 440 posters could afford.Guru Meditation wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 4:57 pmObviously your call, but somehow I found a lot of the times he was accused of dissing the k440 crowd, it came off as a bit odd since the way I read him he wasn't, but somehow a lot of people read it that way.

He had a point in fairness.
If for no other reason he should be banned for shit he posted about 440 on the other forum.

So I take It you took offense or at least found the English comment inappropriate by the above?Starving Pelican wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 5:36 pmI think it's clearer once you notice the pattern - the English comment wasn't a one-off, he always made disparaging little remarks along those lines.
Is the reading that he just praised the mother's English skills, by suggesting that she was better than the forums average really that far-fetched?
I don't remember the other instances I noticed where it too me looked like a similar kind of err on the side of taking insult well enough to quote them, and it probably doesn't really matter. I am not questioning the mod decision or defending the banned one. I am just trying to understand what I am missing when I read several of his posts that triggered widespread negative reactions, and I could not really understand those interpretations.
In many EU projects I have been working on, it tended to be the UK/Irish people that struggled the most with the EU broken English, since they notice all the linguistical errors and less than perfect phraseology, the rest of us seem to be more used to struggle for nailing stuff in English, and kind of by default have an active "let's see what he/she could have meant by that" process running in the background.
My friendly interpretation might be a spillover from that.
Edit - A clarification regarding the 2nd to last paragraph is in place, In order not to get banned for belittling English skills
It is not intended to question or make fun of the English and other skills of my UK/Irish co-workers, just an observation that they tend to have a slightly higher tendency to ask what was just said at times when somebody with a rather heavy accent is speaking.
He deserves to be banned for the increasingly regularity of the number of times he would quit 440, only to come back a week later and post to tell us that he no longer posts.
Fuck sake - if you’re gonna flounce off, do it properly. Alexandra was just putting the poor fella out of his misery.
