Apparently I was "Dragging a thread off topic to continue an argument from another thread"

This was the original thread in question which I was threatened not to post in again and argue my side:

I felt the comments I made in the second thread were valid as they pointed out the hypocrisy of some posters there.

The forum moderator "billy the squid" doesn't have the courtesy to respond to my PMs so I wish to bring to your attention the double standards of Limerick City moderators.

90% of this posters comments have been advertising his pub in Limerick.

I don't really mind this but when you consider some of the overzealous moderation over there such as my ridiculous ban surely he should be banned as advertising is strictly against the boards.ie rules.

He waited 14 minutes.

A reply has been sent to him.

He was asked not to post in a thread which he was dragging off topic, he tried to continue his discussion in another thread which had nothing to do with what he wanted to talk about.

In a thread about traffic resulting from the JP McManus ProAm tournement, Jigga went off on a tangient about the tax status of JP McManus, referring to people who "supported" Mr. McManus as idiots no less than four times. As he had made his point, and that he was being a disruptive element in the thread, I told him not to post in that thread again.

Today I receive a reported post that he is continuing his arguement about tax exiles with another user in a different thread. again this thread had nothing to do with what he wanted to talk about.

In General Jigga is a disruptive element in the forum and he got off lightly with a week long ban considering his previous conduct.
