I can remember being picked apart by him in one thread in a ruthless manner!

He had an authority which could be very " putting down" to the point of rude to those who dared cross him
Having said that you dont come in these forums with a thin skin and I did develop a certain admiration and friendship with him.
Having developed that friendship he would be the first to dive into a thread I was getting beaten up in and help defend what I was trying to say but wasnt the best at saying in his usual authoritive and detailed way.
I for one would like to know why he was banned if he was?
The forum is a lesser place without his colourful input and I cannot imagine what he did which would be so bad as to instigate a prolonged ban.

Ditto.
I did always chuckle at his Swiss Tony thing with guns, but he certainly knew his onions.
