It's okay Jackie...he was here a few years ago and was banned so you don't have to worry about running into him here. He calls himself "The Tourist" and he's been banned from more than one forum.

A member ' over there' posted all the forums he has been banned from. He listed at least 15 or more.

He didn't get banned from there , he just left. Seems the ADMIN over yonder liked the fellow.... :censored:


And that folks is why many of us have found a new place to play.

Right on CC. :thumb: :clap:
I have forums that are empty. They are no good. It's the members that make the forums. We (myself and the mods) try our best to give you a fun place to visit on the internet. If it's not fun you'll find someplace else to visit.

I thought the tourist was banned from over there. He requested to be banned from all of my forums. At the time he 'thought' one of the attachments or images on one of the forums infected his PC. It didn't but oh well. He earned his banned marker on FF, but on here and my other forums he is banned at his request; so he will never be back here as 'the tourist'.

The Tourist has established a reputation in a whole lotta' places.

quite frankly, I suspect he's got a bet with a biker buddy on how many
Fori he can achieve "banned status" from in X months.

other than a lack of Rx drugs or alcohol, not a a lot of available explanation for his behavior / "attitude"

some Forums/group admins choose to explain this as "individualism" - unfortunately the "Tourisit's" attitude of "lead, follow, or get out the the way" really does not mesh with the reality of "participation" - he's certainly not a leader, he can't follow his own babble, and is only "out" of the way when he gets banned.

and "banned" is a very soft term - sometimes The Tourist opts to "ban" himself by changing his "logon description" - altho the "Forum" admin has no idea what he's talking about - see "bet with biker buddy" -

The Tourist is all about "show & blow" - look up his posts on FoddieForums.com - that is a spot where real, actual, knife nut beings hang around - The Tourist got thoroughly eviscerated on his technical points. so,,,, his "sharpening/polishing" expertise may be more ex- than -tise.

Not only did he take a beating on "Fred's" at foodieforums but also on "in the kitchen" at knifeforums.com. I give him credit for not giving up. Oh, and also for being the only professional knife sharpener I've ever met who spoke poetically.

I got a PM from bunyap (at the other site). She had a problem registering. She goofed and somehow got a 2010 birth year and was rejected. HMMMMMMMMMMM Why would 1 year old register on a forum? LOL Any way can anyone (Doc or mod) help out to get this straight. She really want to join the forum.

Peeps, I just tried, and I don't see a way to help her. I think we need Doc or Jim to fix it. I'm going to report your post so Jim picks it up. He'll probably be along shortly.

I just did a report post so Doc would see it.

That kind of repair is admin only, once a user name is rejected it can't be reused unless the admin resets it.

NCT seems to be reliving the surge of early 2009 when the DC exodus took place. Good. :a1:
