It sounds rather sad to me but it happens to a lot to people who don't have self-confidence. I think a few too many punches were thrown in order to make the point but that is just my opinion.
As a site which is full of honest, non-egos, it's completely unnecessary to act that way in my view.

One reason, yes.

Agreed but in every group of people you will always have exceptions to the norm, surely?
Fair enough. I'll miss him, wether he talked bullshit or not I neither know nor care but he was entertaining!

Well of course - this is the WWW after all.
Why was Jake banned? Just for being a bit of a harmless fantasist? Seems a bit harsh if it was for that; its not as if he was fooling anyone.

My point in a nutshell, thank you Matthew

Where does it end though?
If he was saying it was sketches for example, we'd all be asking for advice and insight.
It's a dangerous game.
Jake maybe a fantasist, but he can't go around threatening to give out peoples details that he’s collected from a website that he set up, and people from this website supported and joined. I think that is just rude. I don’t appreciate being threatened in anyway shape or form. You may think that’s over reacting, but I don’t.

Really? Who in there right mind, after reading any of his posts, would mistake him for a writer? Its clear from reading one line of any post hes ever put up that hes not the full potatoe.

I read your first "interrogation" of him and dismissed him as a fantasist. I never took another post of his seriously after that. I guess you could argue that the longer he stayed the more he fooled but new people would have seen through him too. He didn't have the intellect to write a script and that came across very clearly?
The only thing I saw was some mild bullying of someone whos clearly a little nuts, but there we go, if hes threatened to release people details or whatever then hes been punished.

Nope that is new information (about the website) and for that he should have been rightly banned

He kept pm'ing me that's why.
Anyway it's over now.
Unlike the Champs League Final - nice work John Terry.
Quote: Griff @ May 21 2008, 10:33 PM BSTYeah I agree with Wayne. I've always thought of Jake as harmless and even quite entertaining at times, particularly since I could never work out what on earth was going on with him, but that threatening comment of his was a bit out of order. (Although he was coming under heavy fire and did apologise.)
Still, if he does try to sneak back on under another username, I'm pretty sure we'll spot him.
If I was harsh then sorry folks.
Utd win!! YES!
