Pickton is/was not a pig farmer. He's a slimeball that happened to have a few pigs on his property. IMO pig farmers have been getting a bad rap. I like bacon

I agree though, real tragedy. I'm telling you Mike, its in the water there. Makes some of the westerners a weeee bit strange.

Just my two cents...
This is not a funny thread, no one desereves to die like that. I like seeing a joke like the next guy but this is NOT on of those times. Just think if it was someone close to you they found out there.
With that said, in my opinion there is nothing else to say and this thread needs to be locked

I also do not understand why Tim was banned (again)
It was my understanding that forums like these are to allow people to express themselves in a constructive way.
I am just curious, if Tim was not banned for bad taste in joke, why was he banned?

I don't aspire to some higher moral code that you, Tim, and all of the other Western snobs* hold themselves to. I was making a joke in reference to Ricks previous post about Tim and his loyal fanbase here, of which you are obviously one.
For you to come on here and call out the admins for banning Tim without knowing any of the facts is not exactly "classy" either. A more respectful person would PM the admins and deal with their concerns in private. But I guess "class" is only a 1-way street with you. You expect it, but certainly don't display it.
*Not saying all Westerners are snobs, just pointing out those that are. We have our fair share in the East too.

Forums are for people to post and be constructive. Tim rarely posted and when he did, it wasn't constructive. Never mind his other activities that just didn't sit well with me.
Claudio, I don't see why you need to know any more information of why he was banned. I can only suggest you contact Tim and ask him what actions got him in this position? I really cant be bothered to continually explain why 1 trouble maker gets banned again (was my mistake for letting him back).
I can handle distasteful jokes, i will not tolerate anyone trying to affect my business.

Just curious... I thought yesterday was day one of his trial... Have they convicted him already? I thought we lived in a country that believed that everyone was innocent until proven guilty. We do not know for 100%, beyond a reasonable doubt that he did those things to real people.
Sorry, I just take offense when people presume the end result without knowing all the information and jumping to a conclusion on their own accord.

That thinking can be applied to all aspects of life, including forums
The world is a dangerous place already because of people assuming.
