i'm also a member over there, and i'm sure the banning is not to save him, or something shady like that. it's much more simple. he does not do business, but does put through a high volume of repair threads, no drama. the point of the section over there is just that, technical repair threads. so, to put it simply, what you did was bring drama to the section of the forum, and nothing else. and he has not. that includes any scamming, to the best of my knowledge. i'm sure he would get the boot, should a problem arise. i often wonder what he has going on do have all these different amps, but don't really communicate with him. i'm sure it's just something local. before you ask, i do not want to sturr up drama and get myself bant either. sorry.
