I have Locked the account and blocked the IP address of Savlon, who may or may not be a previously banned individual, for his many violations of forum rules. (He also had the annoying habit of PMing me with insults about my religion… what kind of person does that?)

I have also Locked the account of XV Brigada, who recently felt impelled to declare this was a forum of people with mental problems. I'm sure he will be happier elsewhere. grin

Well to be fair, I am a member and I have metal problems.

The pile is very big and just keeps on growing!

XV Brigada might have a point, I wrote about some of my figures having access to a computer

Arteis28 Apr 2012 1:44 p.m. PST

Never heard of Savlon … he must have frequented other boards.

I did know XV, and though I often disagreed with him, I felt he was usually quite fair. I never even saw the post where he apparently took the Hof approach of accusing people of mental problems. If he did so, it must have been a oncer, surely?

XV Brigada been booted out? That is a real pity.

No worries, just another tumbril departing from the Napoleonics page… and Cap'n DEwell, from Bill's description it sounds like the two in question overcame their own selves.

Savlon was spoiling for a fight.

cfielitz Supporting Member of TMP28 Apr 2012 6:06 p.m. PST

My wife thinks I have mental problems. She's probably right.

I don't have mental problems. When they are really out to get you, being paranoid is JUST GOOD THINKING.

Eh, I would recommend they both listen to the Thomas Jefferson HOur to learn restraint in insulting people.

For shame, how about keeing some of the Idiot Tendency from the Napoeloenic Board currently in the DH off permenantly?

79thPA Supporting Member of TMP29 Apr 2012 9:13 a.m. PST

I don't know savlon, and my one recent experience with XV Brigada had to do with someone asking about 28mm figs suitable for the peninsula. Brigada's advice was attach a color plate of infantry, tell the OP to use Google and to find something that looks like "these." Really? How is that helpful. No wonder people don't get into historicals (especially something that can be as complicated as Naps), when some folks treat you like an idiot and state or imply that it is too much trouble to help you out.

Maybe the inmates should be just kept in the asylum (Rubber Room Board) and not allowed out to the rest of the boards.

Isn't Savlon an antiseptic cream?

Never heard of savlon, but apparently no big loss either way.

I had been wondering what Savlon's previous name was.

Savlon's previous name on the current account was "Anti Septic." Haven't been able to match his IP address to other accounts, but by his behavior, he's been on TMP before.

ochoin deach Inactive Member29 Apr 2012 10:13 p.m. PST

I would assume 'anti-septic' means 'anti-American'.

This assumption is based on rhyming slang for Yank= septic tank.

If so, this could well be dave hollins who is quite virulent. On the other hand I don't think Savlon appeared on the Naps boards.

One of Life's Little Mysteries.

Etranger29 Apr 2012 10:15 p.m. PST

Rhyming slang : septic = septic tank = "Yank". So "Anti-American", if one chooses to take a cynical view of the name…..

Rebelyell2006 Supporting Member of TMP29 Apr 2012 10:17 p.m. PST

I don't know anything about that, but Canadians have septic tanks too.

I Pointed out the meaning of 'Anti Septic' to Bill last week- I thought it was Dave Hollins, so grabbed my Torch and Pitchfork early.

He WILL be back, whoever it was. I never quite see the point of banning people.

Glad to see him go – maybe we wil have one less politics thread around Salute time each year.

And to you who pressed the complain button on Mr Creamy – I salute you (shame about lunch though)

How on earth did he find out the editors religion?

Either way, good riddance. Grown men who can't behave on a toy soldiers forum. sigh.

I for one would be delighted if Dave Hollins came back – I thought he had a lot of good points to be made and someone has to stand up to the what he termed the 'Idiot Tendency' on the Napeolonic Board.

stenicplus30 Apr 2012 7:53 a.m. PST

"How on earth did he find out the editors religion? "

It was mentioned here ages ago, I don't recall who or how nor precisely when but his knowledge of it lends credence to Savlon not being a new member.

I cannot seem to remember seeing a post from either one of them…
Maybe I don't frequent the boards they hung out at.

You mean 'For' rather than 'To'?

Bill's religion is a matter of public knowledge, both here and on other Fora.

And I no longer have a metal problem. I had the steel plate taken out years ago. A true statement BTW.

Maxshadow Supporting Member of TMP05 May 2012 8:31 p.m. PST

I wqould expect if it was Dave Hollins he would have been on the Naps Boards making some comments. I didn't notice this Savlon there and he seems to be Australian,. I don't think Dave Hollins is. He obviously wanted to be banned.
I'll miss poor old XV Brigada. He seemed like a nice bloke.
