I think he had a slap on the wrist for being an ar$e and didn't want to be seen having to 'conform' to the rules of the forum. Each
to his own I guess ...

While he has certainly raised my ire a few times I hope he returns.
I had loaded this Avatar into my archive some time back but decided not to use it due to the fact there was a 'Resident' Calvin.
Seems appropriate now though

Kind of ironic now, mind he was pretty ironic himself, just blind to the irony of others.

its like the end of an era. 
Still, he had the choice between behaving or leaving, rather sad its ended this way. Unable to bite his tongue?

For a moment, yesterday, I thought he was back -
"All I will say is "SEARCH" or "SVA MANUAL"
These are basic things covered over and over.
How can you build a car without these tools?
I supose it is just lazyness?
You can even get a free sva manual download if you do a search! "
But no

Whilst I never meet him, we have a had a bit of a chat before and he was most helpful. Not at all like the argumentative git he could be sometimes!
But then who isn't at times?

He had the balls to say what most people thought to someone trying to sell something and that person complained.
So because someone that joined the forum just to sell something complained we lost a person that would go out of their way to help others even if he
didn't know them.
I've had my not seeing eye to eye bits with Mark but when I asked for help he was more than willing to.
Shame that we've lost his input, even if it could be abrasive at times.
PLEASE NOTE - Responses on Forum Threads may contain Sarcasm and may not be suitable for the hard of Thinking.

Actually the complaints were about the abusive language he chose to use not that he complained.
There is a button for complaints which I know for a fact fozzie follows up.
What remains of the thread is here if anyone really wants to rake through the bones.

Totally correct....... complaints about abusive language in that thread, being the plural, not the singular!

Im sure mark is the sort of bloke you get on with just fine in reality, id even go as far as saying friendly, but on here he acts, at times, like
forum police crossed with local gangster. Its not his place to decide who can and cannot advertise what, and it certainly isnt right for him to be
abusive or tell people to f off (i cant remember his exact words cos they're gone, but that was the gist).
And it doesnt take balls to speak your mind, it takes respect to know what is appropriate to say when. If you choose to respect him, do it for his
help and banter, not for his abrasive moments.

As "we" (read my brother Phil) have had many a set-to with Mark and as abrasive as he is, few people are actually like this in reality. I
personally will miss him, it was fun while it lasted... lets hope he can contain himself and return with added (well maybe not) vigour! :p

Well, sorry if this goes agaist popular opinion, but.... I thought he was a bit of a T*** and I'm glad I won't have to read any of his
s**** anymore.
Just my personal opinion
Even when he had something of interest to say, he was so self-obsessed and full of himself, allowing no-one to disagree, pity 'cos he did have
something of interest to say every now and again.
Just checked and he's deleted every post he's ever made here, his bat and ball are definitely at his house
Is this honestly all 'cos he doesn't like being asked to use more forum-friendly language ?

I'm sorry he's gone, it was fun baiting him, not to mention easy, otherwise not too bothered really, just too self important.

Hmmm, was on holiday...
Too bad it happened again.
Was a warning not possible? So he could get a second change, and delete his own comment?
He didn't post any dirty piccies, did he?

He deleted all his own comments, must have taken some time, as well as his photo archive, nothing like self righteous anger to focus ones
attention.
He removed his avatar picture as well after I posted it earlier in this thread, shame I'd uploaded it instead of remote linking............ .
