Where's Mori?

I wasn't following the board closely enough to know why Mori - or pretty much anyone else who has disappeared - is gone. I hope he returns. There are no regulars on this board that I dislike. It's a good mix of personalities, and I believe I benefit from the exposure.
He's not coming back. I put in a good word but to no avail.
The sad part is that the 2 BITOG threads there are a couple of the most active.
Most important question: Is any of it true?

I enjoyed mori's participation here for a long time too (at least the large majority of it...). I'm sure that there are things happening (or that happened in the past) that I'm not aware of. That said, in reviewing the Noria thread, it seems that mori was all but challenging us to remove him. No, let me rephrase that -- he WAS challenging us to remove him. I regret his departure, but he himself made it all but a foregone conclusion.
All I can say is be careful what you ask for -- you might get it. . .

But one of the forums there is geared towards the consumer re automotive engine oil: "Car and Truck Lube" There also is an oil analysis forum. The problem is there is very little traffic at Noria forums and so you can get more entertainment sometimes by watching hair grow. That does not mean it's a bad site and the low volume of traffic may be in part attributable to a low level of superfluous posts. BUt I haven't been over there in a long time, so who knows.

After checking out the Noria forum I can say that the board is so infrequently used as to not come close to being a meaningful competitor for BITOG. All I heard going on over there was crickets.

I just reread the BITOG terms of use and it says behave yourself on this BBS... not the whole entire WWW. We can't be sure someone registered as Mori somewhere else is the same guy. Nor should we care about a barfight that stepped outside into an alley, or some jerk who confronted a cop out of uniform. The adult thing to do would be to turn the other cheek...

If you are a member of my Wine of the Month club by day, but by night you are a member of the Anti-Alcohol Alliance and have a blog badmouthing my club, I am going to ask you to turn in your membership card.
That being said, I completely agree with you that one would hope this Mori over at the Noria place is not an impostor.

Maybe Mori will find a new life after BITOG. I'm sure he's still in the detox phase right now. Don't worry big guy the shakes will stop in about a week!
Mori will probably get a hotmail account and reapply to BITOG as "My name is Earl"....

Absolutely, you'll notice some high school sports teams and "ethical" professionals like lawyers have terms of conduct that clearly apply both on and off the field. While we would appreciate Mori being considerate towards us elsewhere, there isn't anything (yet) that, alone, would do him in.

I just find it funny that the final ban was imposed for stating a self imposed "ban" or freedom of posting due to perceived or otherwise favouritism to the person offering the self imposed ban.
That's the bit that doesn't make sense.

Wow....just noticed this today. Guess I'm out of the loop.

You never know......
The concept of troll or banned member accounts is older than the hills. There are many members on Internet boards who have multiple identities and actually support their own positions or increase their reputation with the voice from an assumed identity. LOL
