He ordered a wiring harness, he may be waiting for it to show up.

Banned? I never saw anything from him that seemed controversial. He asked a lot of questions. Wow.

I enjoyed his questions and input too. He must have crossed the line somehow...

Is this a joke? Do members get banned and if so what and who bans them?
Does anyone know?

Are we sure his posts were legitimate or a "storybook spoof"? He did ask a lot of very basic questions that anyone with the slightest mechanical aptitude could have solved. I'm not condemning only being a little skeptical.

Maybe it has something to do with his references to 'Queequeg' , the tattooed harpooner from New Zealand

Banned??? Really? I read his questions and seemed like a fellow with very basic skills that required assistance. Never saw anything inflammatory on his behalf.

The guy was totally benign. If he said something about Queequeg, it had to be innocent. His humor was right out of the antique jokebooks he liked. I'm inclined to think he may have become victim to baiting by a Troll.

He came across to me as a guy with a car that he was in a little over his head and needed help. I just looked at his last posts, and they certainly seem legit. I wonder what he did? Mods? I remember on the H.A.M.B. once a very legitimate thread got deleted, but was later re-instated. Same kind of mistake maybe?

I can assure you he is legit. I delivered an engine to him from California. He is a very nice guy with very little automotive experience.

His banishment was short lived, if it even happened; see his latest posts about famous car owners.

Nope. Still banned. Look below his name on that thread.

And why was ken ct. Banned? If none of my business I totaly understand.. a bit rough when I communicated with him while he was rebuilding my 50 Merc carb and fuel pump. No reason to be banned though.? Randy
