Rodney may not have been banned but he definitely had his vendor status removed. And on that note, the people having issues with Rodney were simply not documented as well as Frosty's experience with Paul. Rodney is still a god damn crooked shitf*ck and I believe all of those people when they say they were getting screwed over, but there is a huge difference here.

Frosty had more detail with photos and records than most of us have or ever will see come from anyone claiming on a forum that they got screwed over. He basically left nothing to the imagination, and there was really no other side to this story that could justify the way he was screwed over. Personal issues aside for Paul - he put himself in an indefensible position. This is what we might call a "slam-dunk" in terms of how thorough Frosty's documentation was.

While there are no absolutes, you'd have to be a lead paintchip eater to look at what Frosty documented and think that he fabricated that, or was anything less than 98% complete in the explanation and detail.

I applaud the ban. Let him go back to the "go forum" as someone put it and leave all of us no-go all-show kids here. 'Go' in this case predominately refers to hacks slapping random J-series parts together with some porting and some A/F tweaking and timing advance. Not really that impressive. I'd wager the good people we have on this forum rival the numbers of the good people on other forums in terms of tuning and knowledge - as such I am perfectly happy with Paul being practically as non-existent as he was before.

That is the go, this is the show. Not be belittle you "Goers" on here but that is simply how it is. Even more-so until a couple years ago. No other way to go about it.

In other news, this thread should be...

There's a reason we call it "the other forum".

We are all part of the same family, whether certain people want to admit it or not. Not understanding all the hate...
