SDN is no doubt free to do as they wish with people. Banning, IMO, by the sheer heck of it. You don't like someone just because of the username? Heck, ban them. You don't need to try to justify it to others.Cpl Kendall wrote:Part of the reason why the thread was locked was because you posted an OP with nothing in it and expected people to cater to your whims. I suspect if you had filled in the blanks yourself you would have found that an actual discussion might have taken place and it would have remained open.
Of course, it's best to keep in mind that others will be judging you based on your behavior. Sometimes they might end up disliking you because they think the banning was unfair, wrong or for whatever other reason. That's something you're also going to have to live with.
As for the thread itself. To me it seemed more like he posted a thread with the goal of quantifying a Marine. To this end he even posted a bunch of rather specific questions to get the details he wanted or thought were important.
I'm sorry, but to me this just doesn't equal someone expecting others to "cater to his whims". Call me crazy, but people asking questions on forums seems rather common to me. In fact, threads that ask the simple question of "how good/impressive is x" seems to be crawling around forums that regularly deal with vs. debating.
And if someone reading the thread doesn't feel like partaking in the discussion, they can choose not to do so.
