Yes, but again, one-dimensionalizing the rule and using the public to put pressure on the Mods to interpret the rule in favor of one side without taking the historical context into account isn't going to make the mods any happier. So it's okay for GINO to speak his mind at the cost of another, exempt from retroactive action and therefore exempt from responsibility...
... and so long as you can see his lack of cussing and outright personal attacks isn't baiting TE then you can justify calling for a strict adherence to the rules while benefiting from the fact that the mods are kind enough not to enact that rule retroactively if they pleased?
Don't push their hand into crafting a rule that says, "any kind of manipulation of public opionion to advance a personal agenda and to influence moderator decisions would result in a permanent ban" getting passed, then enforced immediately.
As far as i am concerned there is only one dimension to a rule it either applies or it is pointless.
What Gino has or hasn't said in the past is of no consequence if it were then it should have been dealt with at the time it is too late now to justify current attacks by TE on what was said in the past before this rule existed you cannot police the past only the present.
It is quite clear you are heavily biased toward TE for whatever reason i do not know nor care.
I do not particularly care for Gino or TE i am not clouded by personal opinions i am stating fact the rule is in place and has been broken simple as that.

I am not pushing to change opinion and by the way that particular little quote does seem like some kind of veiled attempt at telling me if i don't shut up i might find myself banned.
If you believe Gino has broken any rules since his return from his suspension then by all means the punishment for those rule breakages should be enforced.
But do not insult me,Gino and every other member here by allowing another member to openly flaunt the rules.
If you have a rule then stick to it you can't change it willy nilly to suit.
Great post Gary - I agree with you 100%
I've just gone back to the beginning of this thread
The question was "Who makes the most accurate helmet?"
And Gino answered "me!" and qualified
Sure he was arrogant, but I didnt see him breaking any rules.
However (self proclaimed) TE directs the following comments to Gino....
Quote:
Some expert you are. Just go back to being a liar and a thief.. it suits you better
Quote:
purchased the helmet for a TON more than your piss ant shit offer and lies to him. Some stand up person you are. Never knew I was aware of that huh? Truth hurts huh? Loser
Quote:
You cant even wear that total POS you are charging $850 for
Quote:
If you would like to know the WHOLE story of gino's misdoings and lies, PM me
And thats just a selection.
IMO these comments from TE are a disgrace and have no place here. His misconduct far outweighs anything Gino appears to have done.
Cheers
