    I read it as him being on holiday, but as you put it that way...

    If he cannot think of anything appropriate to say, he should restrict his remarks to SCR.

    So that's a yes.

    Ridiculous.

    Others have been suspended/banned for a *lot* more, and plenty have not been suspended/banned for a lot worse.

    I detect a personal animus. Piss poor work, gentlemen.

    Brilliant, a "holiday" from DDD. He'll just have to talk to himself, after all he does love the sound of his own voice!

    What's he actually supposed to have done aside from being DDD? I've looked at the threads here and on Pro Cycling and it all seems to be his usual sort of thing.

    'Fraid so.

    For every poster complaining he's off for a week there's another who's PM or flagging complaints about his behaviour.

    He'll be back soon and hopefully it'll be back to the DDD you lot like!

    Really? By banning him we'll suddenly make him more agreeable? We can just ignore him. This is only the internet after all, it doesn't actually mean a fecking thing. Maybe just shorten his leash so he can't make a mess on the Pro Race forums.

    But what has there been to complain about? He's just being DDD. It's not his fault (well, not entirely) that no matter how banal a thread he posts it generates about 40 pages of twaddle; it's sort of endearing in a way.

    Still, I suppose the irony is that if you didn't want to listen to DDD, nobody forced you to look in a DDD thread; just like nobody was forced to look in "Girls in" threads!

    Anyway, do tell whose been blabbing to mummy and we can burn them internet style.

    With all due respect, that's bollocks.

    The PMs and flags are (I wager) nothing to do with what he's done over the last couple of days, no matter what they say. They are payback for DDD having done a number - successfully - on CakeStop by gutting it.

    It is disgraceful to see the admins who backed DDD then now turn round and suspend him because a bunch of people want to see a score settled.

    ^ This. I do think the man is a troll - not because he deliberately wants to wind people up, but because he likes to be the centre of attention - and what better way then courting controversy? - but does he really deserve to be suspended? The biggest fools are those of us - and I'm as big an offender as any - who rise to his nonsense.

    it was fun reading ddds rubbish live!

    but rick was right to suspend him, just to give him time to cool off!
    i would like too think it would give him think, but there is not much chance of that.
