Threat to be banned

[aerpix]

Hey, you guys have read hundreds of posts from me, and have realized that I quite frankly speak out my opinion. I also like arguing, and some of my posts have been very critical on the USA. Since this board is in the USA and run by Americans, I acknowledge that some of you do not like this, above all Lord Chris. In one of his last replies he put up the threat of a ban for me.

I just wanted to let you all know that no one is going to ban me from a board more than once. So far I have only been banned once, in a German board. All other boards are happy to see a diversified opinion.

So if I am going to be banned here, I will not come back, and have all my photos removed from the database. Goodbye then, JP.Net.

Chris, it is up to you to loose a valuable contributor just for frankly saying his opinion.

Regards, and bye to all, should this be my last post I can type.

It's not your view. You said he sucked so he banned you. It's in the rules that you have to respect the staff. You pictures and photography advice will be missed.

[aerpix]

So far I still seem to be able to post. I basically respect everybody, including staff here. But someone who condemns a whole religion just sucks, regardless who it is.

Regards,
Peter

Aerpix, as much as i dont like what you post here it would be a shame to see you go.

Just lay off the bush bashing and you'll be fine

Joe,

[Greg]

When your name goes off the memberlist you are gone. if you want withdrawl advice I'll be glad to give some...

[Chris Kilroy]

I don't have any problem with "Bush bashing," or nearly anything else for that matter. There are far more people here than just Aerpix who bash Bush, and nobody has threatened to ban any of them. In fact, the only person to have ever been suspended or banned from this forum agrees with me on almost everything.

However, every one of Peter's posts is inflammatory, insulting, and filled with double-standards and mischaractarizations of what others have said. Not to mention personal insults such as "you suck!," which is a bannable offense if said to anyone, not just a moderator.

Posting outright lies, calling all Americans "idiots" because they don't agree with your views, and making numerous posts for the express purpose of inflaming other users will get you nowhere on this board.

This is where my problem lies.

If you feel you are too good for this site, or above the rules, to which everyone else (including many, many with whom I disagree) have abided by, that's fine.

Test me.

[aerpix]

You and me, Chris, come from areas in this world where the right of free speech and free opinion rule. I am grateful that I have this right, and you should be, too, Chris. Many people do not have this right, too many.

So what I am doing here is exactly that, writing my true opinion. That is valid for each and every post, be it aviation, photography or poliltics.

If this is where your problem is, Chris, then you can probably not be helped. It is up to you whether you want to remove me, but I will not agree to a ban. Either you accept the right of free speech, or you remove me once and forever.

I do not test you, but I will continue to reply to your, or any other's posts that I feel need a reply. The decision is yours.

Regards,
Peter

Respectfully pix, you have your right to your opinion, and I respect that, but the overkill of your posts are what is revolting to say the least. I could care less that you are anti Bush, as you have a right to be that way. Spewing mud at ALL the US however is overkill.

OK..... HERE GOES ....

Peter first off , you really produce some very good images ... of that i have no problem !

what i do have a problem with is this... it seams to me you cannot stand to be critisized .... we all need to be critisized in one way or another... thats how we learn , that is unless that you are the only person in existance that is perfect !
The other site you were banned from ... may i ask why you were banned and did you learn anything from it ?

Peter you really need to take it easy ... i really dont want to see you stop uploading to JP however there are more diplomatic ways of expressing your self... dont take everything so personal and for gods sake you dont need to argue ... you see whats happend here .. irts all come to a head and people are going to fall out .......

ok.... there is a time and a place for arguments and arrogance ... im affraid an aviation forum is not the place !

As i said .... i do not have a problem with your images... just please cool it....

All said Tony

Aerpix, I value your posts well above that of anyone else. Not just because we share similar views, but how you eloquently make and support your statements. You are by far in no way nearly as offensive as other users on this forum. OK, sometimes I may not agree with some of your statements but you have the right to make them nonetheless and your voice is a welcome defiance in the Off Topic forum of the hard-liners. I will sorely miss you if you go.

Chris, you did call PK246 an idiot and have grossly disrespected a religion you know nothing about. I have also sent you personal messages about NWA Flyer757 (now DeltaCappy) and JeffM who have made statements by far more insulting to a wide range of fellow posters.

By the way Peter, your pictures are great! Both on this site and on your personal site. Aerpix.net is a great site!

[Chris Kilroy]

I have also sent you personal messages about NWA Flyer757 (now DeltaCappy) and JeffM who have made statements by far more insulting to a wide range of fellow posters.

.. and you don't see JeffM posting around these parts anymore, do you?

[Richard]

He was banned? Well thank you then. I retract that part of my statement.

[PANC]

These shots are awesome Peter!!


Dont remove those shot Mr. Frei!

[herpa2003]

If aerpix goes, who will I argue with??

But, I will repsect the decision that Chris makes, no matter what it is.

[aerpix]

Thanks a lot guys, for your encouraging comments, much appreciated. As of now I am still here and allowed in. Of course I will respect Chris' decision, whatever it will be. I do not threat with the withdrawal of my photos so that I can stay here, I have my own site and can publish any photo I want there. I am not really after hits in any of the image databases in the net, but do not mind publishing a couple of shots now and then either.

I have a clear policy. When I am banned, I will go, forever. This has happened only once so far, and the reason was (for Tony) that I complained about pop-up advertisements and recommended other users also complaining to install a tool like Webwasher to kill them. This was found to be offending, and I was banned. This board was no database, just a discussion board, the largest aviation board in Germany. After I was banned I requested that my account was deleted once and forever. That's my policy, and this will also apply here, should I be banned, for whatever reason.

So for the time being I will continue to reply to those post I feel need a reply. And I will continue to issue my own personal oppinion, whether liked or not by other users.

Regards,
Peter
