The disrespectful attitude of the banned contributor was totally unacceptable, and their ban inevitable given the petulent outburst and provocative challenge to do so.
However the mis-spelling of the name is debateable. After all, Robinson's products have been similarly abbreviated to 'Robbos' and Robbies' in quite an endearing way by their supporters, with no disrespect implied or taken by anyone. It was only the Guimbal helicopter's name that was similarly shortened, but this was not directed at Mr Guimbal himself, just as in the Robbo's case.
On a far more serious level, how can it possibly be acceptable that a poster banned for changing Guimbal to Guimbo in a playful way, when other contributors persistently refer to Crapinson Flimsicopter, and keep getting away with it? It is nothing short of blatant bias. This changing of name is far more disrespectful, inflammatory, and potentially libellous, so how can the moderator possibly allow such derogatory name calling, laying PPRuNe and the poster(s) open to legal action from Robinson?
Blatant moderation bias, pure and simple.
