Come on, Raven isnt that bad! Not like Geri. Raven hasn't done anything wrong, so why should he be banned?
It's just stupid. Whats even stupider is the people that signed it that I recognise Mnemonix, las6, Dead Glory, The_Masked_Coder, even indi.

Quote: "Michael King - Didnt know the guy, but heard that he is a complete W*nker "

What kind of garbage is that???

Quote: "Eoin - I'm sick of his big head, i stoped posting on dbpro.com coz of him "

Too bad, your loss. You dont even know the correct URL.

Unless the same idiot who made the petition made those signatures.

Nothing wrong with Raven, just don't insult his 3D work or he'll tear you to pieces

He is one of the biggest jerks of all time. Here is a quote of his I loved:

Quote: "Don't lecture me"


Hmm, who do I know lectures on 3/4 of their posts !!!

*droops head in shame*

Sorry Raven, cant remove my name from the list.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm the one with the wacky name, Jukomae, wanted to stay in disguise at first.

Hmmm, that's a little harsh. OK So Raven likes to voice his opinions in his own special way, but I'm sure he'd be the first to say "If you don't like what I say, then don't reply"

I think it would be a bit dull if Raven were banned from here, some of his posts can be entertianing, although that's not what he intends.

My god, I'm defending the man hehe

Never heard of it to tell the truth. Must have me confused with someone else.

Yusuke also said indi was enforcing it.
I'm sure Rich will have a different say about this.

I signed and i'm proud. And yes i do have a life. Raven seems to be the one with no life, making these huge and pointless posts to everyone just to show that "he's right about everything." Yes i'll admit it, it was the music topic that got me pissed as hell at Raven, I can't stand it when some dick that knows absolutely nothing about what I have dedicated my LIFE to tries to show me up and make people think he is more educated then me at it by providing false information in "sophisticated grammar", simply because he is afraid to admit he's wrong. If I were to see ONE post from raven admiting he is wrong or that he made a mistake about something, I would have much more respect for him. Until then, I just see him as a hypocritical a**hole that gets off on trying to prove people wrong for no f*cking reason. Now the mods can take this as a flame or insult or whatever the hell they wanna call it and they can ban me. I really dont give a sh*t anymore because I'm leaving this community.


Goodbye for good

Well... my two cents....even though I know you don't care...
I'm on the side that says this is stupid.
I think I have said this before, but I agree with yellow.
I think I agree with him a lot.... strange.

You know, life is too short to care how someone posts on a forum.
It's not like he comes on here saying racial, sexist, terrorist remarks or anything like that.

Even if all the things you people say about him are true...
it amounts to nothing!!!

I have no problem with him.

Sure, I throw a couple jokes at him every now and then but it's all in good fun. I wouldn't sign something like that though and I'm sure a lot of others wouldn't either and judging by the very few 25 signatures, I think it's safe to assume I'm right.

I'm just wandering, is Raven the same person as Raven Vegeta? No offence or anything, R.vegeta seems ok...but i haven't seen much of R.vegeta around(since Raven popped up)

I personally don't care about the pertition thing(it was pretty funny though when I saw it)

Sorry guys I'm locking now and removing this thread later. As much as Raven seems non-plussed by it, it's not the sort of thing I want to promote here, quite frankly I think it's childish. If you have an issue with someone, deal with it, I don't need to read about it.

And incase you're wondering, no Raven didn't tell me about this thread or request I lock it, I'm doing it out of my own actions and would do the same regardless of who it was aimed at.

Cheers,

Rich
