He had received a number of warnings from JimRob. I speculate that he drew enough fire for his attitude and comments that the Mods decided he had become a liability.Wow, Puget’s gone?? What happened?
Kind of a shame -- he's obviously a bright guy and his technical insights were valuable. But his obsession with finding flaws in Apple products and declaring them abject failures was often over-the-top, and inaccurate (note that the products are quite successful despite their flaws).
I wasn't there when it happened (I'm not sure what thread finally did it) so I can't say for sure beyond the speculation above.
This account has been banned or suspended.Maybe just a suspension, I hope.Hate to see a FReeper go; no man is an island and all that.
Of course JimRob and the Mods gotta call them as they see them, and that's that.
Maybe, I dunno. It's also possible, given that Puget displayed a fairly strong sense of pride, that he may choose to not return even if invited back. It's his choice to make, if it's only a suspension.
Or maybe to come back with a different handle. Such is life on the interwebs...
The problem with PugetSound was that he made a lot of personal attacks. That is not the defining quality of a FReeper. Argue about a subject all you want. But personal attacks are beyond the pale.
He was given more than enough time to change his ways.
