I reviewed his last posts and saw no evidence of anything outside of “acceptable” – in fact I kind of liked him for his attitude. ---

They have their reasons. You’re better off emailing them. We’re not supposed to ask about it here. ---

Search and you will find. Try the thread called ‘Tax Rant–If no-one else will’ ( haven’t linked to it but it’s there) ---

Well, I did search, and I did read all of hudley’s contribution to that rant. I didn’t see anything in there that made me say “uh-oh, this guy’s gotta go, you can’t say THAT!” So, really, MODS, et al, I have no agenda here (jeesh, I don’t know the guy, don’t subscribe to his views, don’t really give a monkey’s cuss for anything, just curious) – why was hudley banned? Actually, one GOOD reason for finding this data, is to know what limits there are here. And, you know, I’d kind of find it a bit creepy if “They have their reasons. You’re better off emailing them. We’re not supposed to ask about it here” was the bottom line. I guess that in some deleted post hudley just lost it – but why delete it? Sure censor it for reasons of taste or decency, or for legal or moral reasons, but say so and leave it. ---

We do not discuss banned posters on the boards, if only for the reason that they like the attention. If you want to know about the banning of a poster, e-mail a staff member. Maybe you’ll get an answer, but there are no guarantees. There will be no on-board freak shows about Those That Didn’t Make The Cut. This thread is closed.
