Wow. Hope he is OK.

If that guy, in 80,000+ posts, hasn't learned yet that he has pissed away well over a year of his one and only life on an absolutely worthless endeavor, he'll never learn.

He has posted nothing since January 9th. I hope he was placed in "Time Out" rather than.........

He cannot receive PMs.

Hopefully he cannot send PM's either. I got a little tired of the threats....

I spoke to him on phone about the action and he said the crest was intact.

He should be back as soon as his time in the corner is over....

I'm kind of surpised if he was suspended. ISS has been quite a gentleman the past few years. He has calmed down considerably from the confrontational days of 6-7 years ago and his elk and Vietnam rants. I've enjoyed his posts for the most part.

He has threatened several people before, and was banned before because of his threats.

Saeed,

Does he get a cooling off period or the boot?

Saeed
Andrew,

Not sure yet about him.

Others have been given cooling off periods and it worked.

Sometime cooling off periods do not seem to work, so the ban becomes permanent.

I really hate to do this, but ultimately individuals have to learn that actions against others do have consequences.

Saeed to my mind the AR crowd does not suffer fools (or bullies) easily and can self-police most of the time. It is precisely this robust debate that makes AR better than the sponsored/heavily moderated sites. I don't know ISS from a bar of soap but it would seem harsh to bar him completely. I remember a few threads where his grand assertions were quickly cut down to size by the rest of the members.I can't imagine what he could do to get himself booted permanently??

Just my 10c (South African!)

I somewhat agree.

But having dealt with Rich personally...I can tell you for sure...to get Rich to that point...it takes 2 to Tango.

Just saying.

Rich has never been anything but friendly and gentleman-like to me.

It takes 2.......not hardly

He called my wife a tramp on AR some years ago.

He has not met her nor does he know her.

On a different occasion I called his hand on his infamous claims of killing over 30 Boon and Crockett elk.

I received a lengthy PM from him inviting me to SCI so he could teach me a lesson in manners and then he eluded to inform me of his hand to hand combat skills

I forwarded the PM to Saeed and Don

ISS/Rich is a freaking riot, he is like having our own Roy D Mercer, all you have to do is pull the choke and yank the cord. I would like to petition Saeed to remove him from suspension immediately.

He once sent me a PM. Within it he stated how he was going to run a sharp blade through my guts and watch the life leave my eyes while the blood dripped off his elbow.

Heck, I don't even remember what set him off, but I do recall it was something minor.

Other than being a compulsive liar, Rich does have a lot of knowledge. He just gets riled up when someone disagrees with him.

The issue there is the Political Forum. I went in there once and posted something about a US Supreme Court ruling and read over a few other threads. I have never been back.
