Seriously? While I am not the most active poster, I read a lot here. But I'll have to rethink my coming to his site, I don't enjoy being on a forum with carebear moderators.
I agree that he was direct, cocky and even snarky at times. Crossed the line? I'm not sure, maybe. ......... I've noticed he is still active on the MKVI forum.
Moderator power tripping
Yep agree with this, I think because he doesn't own a MK7, but does have/had a MK5 & 6 (not sure) they corralled him in there.
To moderate a forum is VERY difficult..........
There were a few threads on remapping diesels etc where some new forum members were asking about remapping their small diesels etc..........
Unfortunately the comments that "the Bruce" put were very short & along the lines of "you should have bought a bigger engine in the first place & if you remap your car it will blow up & so will the gearbox"..............
He should have been more informative & polite......................maybe this is why he was banned as if you look at his post court & "senior member" status that sort of attitude coming from such a person only deters new members from this forum.....................mods don't want that reputation for their forum!
My 2p worth...........
The Bruce has made statements where he alluded that English may not have been his first language.
This may explain how he came off to some people.
It may explain his directness.
If so, it should be taken into consideration.

Banned??!!
He was one of my favorite posters on this forum.
His knowledge -real knowledge, not boy race bs - was excellent.
I never found him to come off cocky.
I hope he can come back.
I'm sure this guy will just come back under a different name, so the only loss to this forum will be his previous user name. And I'm sure he's reading these posts So knowing he has a fan club will entice him back!
Time to start a "Bring The Bruce Back" petition
