Why has Nick JD got the arse?

Something members of the community would have noticed.

Yeah. I had a post moderated & had a Status Update deleted the other day when all this was going on (received a very courteous PM from the Mod's to that effect). Quite frankly, I deserved it, as I don't remember writing any of it (I had a very BAD day...) & on reflection, it wasn't pleasant or anything I should've been writing about here anyway.

The Mod's saved me from myself, there....Thanks guys!

Edit: No warning ensued.

Yes, we are adults and should be shielded from the effects of our drunken rambles. That stuff is just childish.

Are the Mods available to help on the occasions I send pissed texts, emails, photos etc. to my ex-girlfriends, boss, mates, mother etc.?


It would really help in keeping me out of the shit.

Rumour has it that the second coming of Nick JD has finally come to pass

... But who is it???

 

[MartinOC]

PLEASE don't tell me he's been reincarnated as Kevin Rudd!! This country can only handle ONE overly-opinionated potty-mouth (apologies to Nick JD).

Would that it were true, Mattress, I might still be employed by a complete arsehole. Clouds have silver linings sometimes....

Vale NickJD. I'll raise a glass.

+1

 

[bullsneck]

I'll miss Grumpy Cat

+1. True story.

TFTFY.

I hear he has decided to follow one of his passions away from brewing...

 

[hellbent]

He may have at times been a "nick the dick" and he may have had faults, but Nickjd was a big asset to this forum, and that shouldn't be forgotten. When I started to BIAB and had troubles getting around it he was, as were others, always to the fore with tremendous help. A lot of "nubies" out there in AHB are going to be the poorer for Nickjd not being here with his help and advice, I will miss him and the help he has given.
I'm sorry to say this but I feel that some of our members in AHB have sadly mixed up their ambition with their ability causing high ego's and perhaps a tad of jealousy to take control of the way they think, I just hope I'm wrong.

AHB is going... has gone?.. the way of many other internet forums. As it has grown in size member wise it has attracted a large melting pot of people. And by melting pot I mean fcktards, idiots and so on. The good information is still here just the quality of some regulars has dropped which frustrates some I guess.

Being a alcohol related site one must expect to see over the top pissed comments from time to time. AHB members are AHB product to sell to make money and do as they please with. That's life on the internet.

Abide by Wheaton's Law and all will be ok.

 

[mrTbeer]

OP question remains unanswered?

 

[Maxt]

I disagree Cube, I reckon they were just as many dicks when I joined in '06, perhaps even more as there was greater ignorance of good technique back then (and with It hotly contested debates)

 

[mikec]

I disagree with this entire principle.
Trolls should be banned. Was Nick a troll? No.
Did he offend someone? Maybe. I don't know what it was but surely it could have been resolved with a simple apology.
This banning shit is just silly. All it does is hurt the advertisers and sponsors.

 

[djar007]

He would be disappointed a thread dedicated to him was still on topic.

 

[manticle]

Trolls should be banned. Was Nick a troll? No.

As much as I often disagree(d) with Nick and as much as I often found his style of posting slightly arrogant, unfunny and downright shitful, I agree wholeheartedly with this.

He wasn't a troll, he brewed, he shared his brewing experience with others, was active in his local brewing community, etc, etc.

I still wonder if he hasn't disabled his own account (or requested that it be so) as usually when someone gets banned, their status is 'banned'. His is still 'blah, blah, blah'. Anyway, while signal to noise ratio was questionable at times (lots of times) I don't think i ever saw anything that warranted a ban and the suicide reference I believe was innocuous rather than deliberate.
