Is it ok to ask why a member was banned?

[DECLAN]

Same as the other forums, his MO I think is create a thread to either rile up other members or ask a question then when others give genuine feedback; he dismisses it and tells them they’re wrong which kind of makes the thread pointless to begin with.

I don't think I knew better. I was just genuinely interested in the answer and the source riding didn't appeal to me. Anyway I will try to improve my approach.

Nooooo.
It's about the guy that was banned or deleted or whatever.
He was asking questions he knew the answer to and whatever answer he got back, he just made fun of.
The sealioning thing is about his trolling but I just thought he was not feigning ignorance to continue with it.
Do you know what I mean?

The thread that started it here. Marvel at the genuine feedback.

You'll have to point me to those threads. TNation, Excel Male, here, SST, recently PM.

Just remember who drew first blood here. It is funny even Millard was kinda shocked at the absolute shit that was thrown at me.

Nevertheless, I'll work on my approach. I'll do better. Thanks for the feedback.

I do. Curious who @AlexDavis43 was referring to? He is a sharp fellow.

Thanks.

@iris my recollection is the term sealioning was thrown around previously. Fyi.

Not a who, a what. That being some of the points you listed here. Just some things in common with sealioning in general.

My apologies if the intended "who" exhibiting the "what" you described wasn't targeted at me. I am not here to troll.

Your points about the $$ are well taken though. My goal is to address this. I am not trying to take money out of your pocket or any other member's pocket.

@readalot , lol didn’t quote the post about the troll, my bad. It wasn’t you like Iris said, I recognized his handle hence I asked him about it.

Everything getting mixed around in this thread lol.
