this whole forum has been markhamed

part of the problem is even if you have him on ignore he derails decent business threads with his stupid arguments and ideas and ruins them every time. it's hard enough to get people to talk shop without him rambling on about magazines, free porn and wedding photographers.

You know what ? Let him ramble, everyone else does, if you do not agree with his opinions , then dont look at his posts:2 cents:

clean your glasses and read what i wrote again.

It would be very interesting to see fatfoo and paul markham in a debate :2 cents:

No !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3d word shithole? You must be one of those incredibly ignorant hill billies.

Well, if there's a vote, I say unban him. No idea why he got banned but it was a run in with DamianJ I think (wasn't paying attention, sorry).

He's harmless, but rules I guess are rules so he got a wet kipper in the face to cool his banter down.

Very doubt it's a permanent banning....

While he's out though and unable to post, I might as well say that I couldn't stand his old-skool stance that the golden rules are xyz. Damn, he is stubborn!

He's just a pink troll that's fun to have around ;)

I guess it was this:

Pretty lame to go cry to the mods when you troll someone every day incessantly. :2 cents:

I do not mind Paul. Sure at times he is a bit much, but when that happens I use some level of self control to keep from taking the bait, just ignore him/his posts, or do not even bother to read them.

I have not been following this bullshit, but if Paul broke the rules, he should serve out his ban the same as anyone else. I suppose Eric could allow him to come back early if he would like to make a public, sincere apology to DamianJ for whatever it was that had gotten him banned.

The point here is, Paul simply had gotten wrapped up in the heat of the moment and apparently used bad choice of words, or bad judgement in whatever he had said. It can happen when you are relentlessly trolled day and night by the same people. We're all only human after all.

Paul can choose to serve out the remainder of the month ban per the rules, or I am sure he could contact Eric and work out a resolve. Either way, it is up to the MODS should a rule have been broken.

Paul is annoying at times, but at least he has some relevance in this industry. There are many more malicious trolls on this forum that deserve a ban beyond him. Paul may have needed a time out, and received it from the looks of it. But there are many others who relentlessly attack people and their business just because they do not like them. Those really should be the one's who should be getting the hammer dropped on them.

That being said, if Paul broke a rule, he should be treated the same as anyone else.

:2 cents:

50 broken rules.

my glasses are clean and I did :2 cents:

yeah i dunno lol

he speaks an incredible amount of shit

entertaining and annoying

i think hes too stupid to not to get himself banned again anyways

1st violation - Banned for the remainder of the month of banning

8 days to go!

Have a heart Eric.

Paul is harmless. Can he be ungrounded early?

He can use the 8 days to refine his thoughts and condense his statements into less words.

That's never gonna happen. The main reason I stopped reading his threads is because of the length of his posts.

Give him a senior citizen discount...let him come back early.

There ya go:thumbsup:thumbsup

Free Paul!!! He's old, he may not have 8 more days.

I will donate 2 days towards his 8 :thumbsup

All donate the other 6.

Thanks Aaron, now if we can get the mods to make the deal:winkwink:

I can't believe people actually care what he thinks. Magic joins

yeah, how about sticking to personal insults

Brno rocks :thumbsup

I'd rather read Paul's posts than about 99% of the fucking bozos on this bus. At least he's in the business.

if he got banned for a reason, let the ban stay, lifting a ban for one person means another person should be unbanned for doing the exact same thing.

think so, he'll be back

i dont think there really is a such thing a permaban, everyone eventually comes back.

it's a bullshit ban, he got goaded into an argument with Damian, who's no angel. Paul got the worst of it, by the ban :2 cents:

still, only 8 more days and he can post. bs or not.

congrats to the losers.

Do you know that was the reason for the ban, and not him accusing someone of fucking underage girls?

And I am an angel. :)

Anyhoo, he'll be back in under a week to share more tales of how good it used to be. And how traffic is easy to get. And how free porn ruined everything.

And, um

And that's about it.

Why can't the people that hate him just ignore him? At least unlike many others here, he mostly talks about business. Yes, he has rose-colored glasses on about the porn world operates today, but all you have to do is not read his posts. How hard is that?

i had him on ignore. but when he starts posting his nonsense then the rest of the thread is people calling him and idiot and the thread is derailed. how hard is that to understand?

Did you forget what this forum is called ? Please dont be sanctimonius:2 cents:

I say let him back in, my sig will be worthless otherwise.

Paul for President in 2012!

I don't get why they don't understand it either.

:thumbsup
