    I think he posted a while back that he had done a close inspection of the road surface (broken shoulder IIRC?). Might just be keeping away from the forum so he doesn't get frustrated. But with the tour on now...

    After his accident I think he decided to take some time away from here and probably spend quality time with his family. Can't blame the man really. I'm sure he will be back along at some point.

    He's been banned I think.

    He was explaining to someone the dangers of racing mentioning the accident he had and two trolls (guess the name of one them) accused him of moaning and to mtfu and Napd responded by calling him a male bird....and was banned I think. Thats why all of his posts are logged as 'guest'
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Really sorry to hear about your crash and subsequent injuries Nap D. Hope you are recovering well at home. I look forward to hearing from you again on the forum. :wink:

    Read NapD's account of the accident - not nice!
    Badly injured - I don't think he is able to ride at the moment.
    Was talking about not racing - maybe moving to TT's.
    Hope he recovers quickly.

    Sorry to hear he was banned!
    There are a few that might deserve that, but he wouldn't be on my list.

    He always seemed a decent guy, I hope they let him back.

    Mind you I've just been suspended from cyclechat, the email said it was for vulgarity.

    Yeah, also sorry to here he was banned.

    One of the most helpful members on the road forum and he probably earned a bit of understanding for a meltdown following his accident.

    A ban lasts forever, my previous account was banned because I asked the mods to ban me, and it's still banned now.

    In the circumstances I wasn't at all surprised that NapD was more than a little disillusioned with cycling, and vented on BR, given that his livelihood and career had been derailed by a nasty fall in a race (whatever the cause). Yeah, maybe in that last thread the bitterness was bit out of place, but it's a shame he's gone (at least for now) just when I guess he needs friendly support and understanding of his difficulties. And he was always a friendly and helpful poster. For those reasons, I would have hoped he could have been cut a bit of slack.

    If you're reading, NapD, I hope you are recovering, and getting your mojo back. And even if you never want to race again, I hope you can rediscover the pleasure of cycling.

    If NapD was actually banned then I have lost a lot of respect for these forums. I hope the mods will clear this up.

    Have just looked at the thread which saw NapD banned.

    :shock: :shock: :shock:

    I can't believe he got banned for that.

    NapD - I think you need to do a markwalker.

    Having read the OP i am astonished that Nap D is banned. Would like to ask the moderator is He banned and if so WHY :?

    I am shocked NapD has been banned from this site - he has always been helpful to many on here including myself with good advice and has never been condescending to those asking for help. In addition he also organised a couple of good rides for fellow BR's the last I participated in which was bloody hard but excellently organised.

    All that goes to a burton when he finally loses his rag (which given his accident he must of been fairly close to) due to continuous posts by someone else, who followed from thread to thread - seems a little harsh IMO.

    I have read through all the thread that was mentioned and cannot believe NapDwas banned for that (do we know if that is the case??). As others have said, I have seen much, much worse on here. Without coming across as a NapD fanboy, I think his posts have always been funny, very helpful or usually both.

    Good luck with the recovery Nap, here's to a miraculous markwalker-esque resurrection :)

    I've got a lot of respect for NapD, but I'm sorry to say that I think he lost the plot a bit. Hopefully he's just taking a break though and he'll be back soon with his sharp wit and helpful posts.
    More problems but still living....

    This is very bad news, NapD has made a significant contribution to the enjoyment of this forum for me. To be turfed off for reacting to the goadings of a couple? ( or the same troll twice ) of trolls is harsh. I feel sure that he will surmount his physical difficulties and deal with this additional setback with the spirit of a Fighting C0ck.

    His reaction wasn't surprising given the near-trolling by someone whose already posted on this thread but as usual the moderation on this forum is distinctly lacking...
