Lol no. I posted a message about a brass model that I've got for sale

Well the 'automated' private message was from his user ID, so I presume so.
Not that I really care - if RailPage admins want to bully people into not
talking about sensitive topics that's fine, but a lot of people will ignore
warnings about not talking about certain topics and talk about them anyway
(just like we are doing now).

You know what the funny thing is that David B re-opened the discussion
on that topic.  So with that being said will Shaks have the balls to
issue David B a 100% warning level?

If nothing else it shows that the forum admins don't have a clue how to run
a proper public-domain forum site. 8-)
