He might be on that hunting trip that he was wanting the Retumbo for???

 

[phatkaw]

Uh oh!
He did get banned...


It happens.

Looks like he's been banned. Don't know why but all I know he has been conspicuous by his absence. One would hope the mods would overlook his, shall I say, does not suffer fools lightly, style and acknowledge all his contributions to the reloading forum. I miss him. I hope the ban is not permanent.

Check out this thread from 9 days ago.

I had a similar question on a different thread … I wonder, with Mark’s strong constitution of what’s right, if HE may have permanently banned TS.com, never to return.

Been gone a long time for a misdemeanor offense… Easy guy to understand … but if you tweak his nose you know what you get …

me thinks we are better with him here..

There are members like mg1polo who are well respected and watched on ts.
If they are banned, It would be nice to know from the moderators. What the issue is.

 

[Rick Barker]

I would think second guessing the decision of of the mods could be problematic. If Mark were gone for good, not sure his name forum handle Would show up in doing a search which is possible whereas in the past, someone banned for good never showed me results of a search unless something in programming has change, Be patient.

To be clear, my original post did not question the judgement of the mods. Just curious as to his fate.

I have always liked Mark. Real smart guy on everything reloading and much more. I know he can come off as a little brash on occasion but his information was always spot on.

 

[shotgunner50]

MG knows the reloading business well and is willing to share his knowledge on this forum. However if someone ask his advice and then questions his answer the rookie will hear about it. He has helped a lot of reloaders on this site with very valuable information .

 

[rosies dad]

I cant say I ever felt Mark was "diplomatic" about disagreeing with anyone. That could be what got him in trouble.

 

[Mr. D]

I could say something snappy but don't know MG well enough to go have coffee with him.

 

[henrydog]

I learned a lot from his post, I mean a lot. He has answered questions I have asked very politely, but matter of fact....nothing wrong with that. It seems everyone now offended by facts.

I don't know the man, but I think a lot of us get tired of the same "hey looking for a 1200fps load" were the poster has never bothered to look in a book or find a published load . From his post he firmly beliefs in using only published loads, whats wrong with that? The final straw typically is when someone makes some grand claim about a fake 7/8 load. The guy is a a walking reloading manual.

Marks posts were part of what brought me to the site. As a new shotshell reloader (35 years of center-fire), he was full of good data and always shared with me what he knew without question. I noticed his absence a while ago. Hope he gets out of detention soon.

MG’s flash point was when some naredowell would expound on some unverified cocktail load & insist their alchemy skills produced the holy grail of reloads. MG’s style is reminiscent of some of the skilled veterans that taught me my trade. Unwavering & firmly rooted in the facts. One just doesn’t argue with this sort & not expect being called a fool or worse. I’m comfortable with that. No doubt he poked the Bear & I’ve no doubt right or wrong he believed he was justified hence the vacation. Let’s hope MG’s not locked out for much longer.

That is the very reason I would go have coffee or a beer with the man.

 

[paul Harm]

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with most of you guys. Yes, he was a fountain of knowledge when it came to loads, but he had a very rude and unnecessary manor of speaking if he didn't agree with someone. He was like some bi-polar people I know. One minute nice, next minute very disagreeable. Maybe he would go off his meds - I don't know. I wish him the best of luck.

 

[pheasantmaster]

MG was straight forward and truthful in his responses. He frowned on ignorance with vengeance!

But in this "cuddle bunny" here let/me/hug/you for what your being paid to accomplish society, he was just to old school with some of his responses for the "faint_of_heart" society has developed...
