318 pages of OC experiences ruined by BeerMe's mocking of open carriers.

Instead of deleting the whole thread and destroying all the progress we've made, it would have been nice to have just removed his post.

I've wondered time and time again why he hasn't been removed from this forum.

instead of closing, deleting, locking threads!

He posted something COMPLETELY inappropriate this morning, about 5-6am.

Yep, I saw it too. Thanks BeerMe for screwing it up for those who were reading REAL positive and negative OC experiences for new OCers to learn from. Thanks for furthering our rights brother!

Edited to add:

I check the OC experience thread everyday as well. It's a shame really.

I'm proposing that we send PM's to John (Administrator) to restore the thread and simply delete his ignorant post.

That thread has literally been YEARS in the making.

Two things:

1) He has been banned.

2) I screwed up ... I thought I had only deleted his post but I must have deleted the thread instead. I apologize profusely. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get back such a thread. :banghead:

Mistakes happen John and we understand. It sure is a bummer though. If you can't get it back maybe we should start a new one soon?

What really bothers me about this is the fact I talk to people almost every day and the first thing I tell them is to do alot of reading on the forum first starting with the Experience thread...
