I post on a message post that has no rules or mods and it is the best music board online.. sure everyone pretends to hate each other there but no one takes it seriously or to heart plus it gives me what I need and that is a balance and the ability to know how to confront people, oh and a bloody good laugh. There is nothing wrong with that, people could learn from this 'moron'.
To have a board that is only full of positivity is to like cutting your life in half. Lighten up a little and relax.. let your hair down and learn to love everyone not just people that want to suck your d|ck.
If this person flooded boards or if people complained about it then sure do what you have to do. But From my point of view I haven't seen any reasonable arguement against him that wasn't just a whinge.

No-one is pretending for one moment that this forum is meant to be a sanctuary from confrontation and discord to which everyone can come to take part in 'circle-jerk campfire sessions' where all of the members have the same opinions, hold hands, agree on everything and be on their way.
This is a music forum and music is one of the most contentious topics... we expect controversy, arguments, and the clashing of opinions (in a civil manner of course). Everyone listens to music, everyone has their own opinions on it and everyone is stimulated by different things. It makes a music forum much more interesting when you have members who challenge the way others think about music. However, there is a difference between having and backing up strong but unusual/contentious opinions and egregiously trolling to get a rise out of people.
Musicbanter is a very high profile music forum and requires moderators to maintain it. It would go to
shit without them.
