Why did he get banned? IIRC his only "problem" was having an alternate view to most posters on here. Is that a crime? As often as not he shot himself in the foot anyway!

The offensive and personal posts that he was banned for were deleted.

Cheers Alex. Shame he couldn't rein himself in. He was a healthy antidote to the happy clappers!

The problem was that he tried to make this board into his personal fief, much like the other one already is. Some of his views were valid, but he delivered them at tedious length, often in officious lecture mode (complete with extensive quotes from the coaching manual). If that wasn't enough, he usually repeated them the next day, and the next day etc. Plus, he had personal agendas, and he couldn't stand being disagreed with.

An interesting enough poster when he first started, but he eventually committed the unforgivable crime of being boring.

Never you, pal. You can lecture with the best of them (so can I), but at least you're courteous.

From what I've subesquently learned Charlie's crime wasn't "being boring", it was far worse. Now you on the other hand....
