As RLent said, one does not know just by words.
Mike (mrgoodtude) has posted a great deal to this forum. A majority of which have been very positive, entertaining (at times) and has provided a great deal of information. He also can be quite sarcastic (been around him to dang long), but he's genuine and honest.
His post that was made was not putting down the A Team, but rather commending them. Unfortunately, the words he chose were misconstrued by a Mod and thus, removed. In return, he was very upset and made a post (several of the same in a row) and sent a personal message to that Mod which banned him from the site.
I rarely post on here, but I do read up on what is going on. I have also noticed that some of the moderators appear to be biased and "stuck on themselves." Just my humble opinion.
Mike has great respect for the A Team and their accomplishments. While Phil may be pompous, arrogant and all about himself, he does contribute some very good information on this forum. One must learn to read between the lines.
Mike is down with the flu as I write this and hopefully he will feel better tomorrow.
