MKelly was probably banned because Hardie didn't like him and cried to Laurie about it. MKelly was quite entertaining and could have provoked some interesting debate about the state of windsurfing.
Offending Kitesurfers is still ok though, just check with Hardie before you post anything to make sure he agrees with it.
Far more offensive posts are not deleted, like this racist and violent effort:

MKelly made me laugh too. I dont know why he was taken off. He never really offended anyone from what I read. He was a funny bugger.
Now MKelly, you just go and stand in the corner and think about what you just did,.. mmm ukay!
I could use it to bonk anyone that goes past me!
Yeah but ****stirers can be good value. He brought up relevant points as in the average windsurfer moans about the wind 90% of the time and has grey hair.
Just as its relevant to question which team someone bats for when they stick their shorts outside their wetsuit and whether kiteboarding is a form of sailing or a form of ritual suicide.
Every day, people vote against posts, vote for posts and write to me about member conduct.
We make decisions .. some right, some wrong, some borderline .. some content we miss .. we are incredibly consistent at our inconsistency though!
Like the wind & waves, perfection is hard to find, yet we never stopping striving for them!

One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, there is really is no good or evil there is just power and who has it after all. In this forum it is Hardie who is controlling things and keeping it as boring as possible.
Maybe because Hardie has over 1300 posts, and Laurie has developed a fairly reasonable idea about the sort of character that he is.. more so than someone with less than 10 posts??
There's a time and a place for s**t-stirring, and obviously MKelly just got lost in either space or time on his way there..
Red5 is sounding dangerously like he's stopped here for directions to a similar destination??
I'll reserve judgement until he says something intelligent about windsurfing!
I could use it to bonk anyone that goes past me!
he takes pride in his work.
It seems I owe Hardie an apology, I don't know if he complained about MKelly or not so I should never have accused him of it.

.....Anyone got a shovel?
Its amazing how an innocent remark can get you guys started.
Wineman, you gonna get me in TROUBLE
Elmo, I was not trying to bait anyone, someone else started the thread wondering where MKelly went, I was simply frustrated at MKelly being unfairly erased and I responded emotionally which I regret doing as it is how the weak respond. Obviously MKelly pushed a few people's buttons and evoked a bit of an emotional response eh!
I agree with you though, it is an established fact that the windsurfing population is rapidly aging and the subject requires no further discussion.
