Mo Pinel banned from BBE...
« on: January 16, 2010, 02:25:46 PM »
This has been discussed in another thread here at BR.com.

I feel the need to share my take on it as well -

I have posted 3 times to BBE and recently paid more attention to the site since I had seen that Mo was posting there.

I believe he felt it was a "safe" forum where the moderators would keep the forum threads civil and a place he could reach out and educate independent bowlers, pro shop operators, and anyone willing to read what he was posting.

It would seem that Mo was banned simply for "violating" the terms of service at BBE.  Those terms apparently don't apply to everyone that is a member of that site.

I will likely spend a lot less time there now that Mo is no longer able to share technologically/scientifically accurate information there.

That's not going to change.  Society as a whole gets worse every year.

Agreed SO I look at the topics I might post on BR and take into account the responses I might get and go from there.  Do I want to waste my time or not?

I find BBE more of a waste of time.  I could care lil about Lane #1 and most revolve around Lane #1.  And I like my Blue Death so I am not anti-Lane #1.  Take a look anytime and over 1/3 of the front page are Lane #1 posts the majority of the time over the past month.
