I actually did not see the content of the posts prior to Mike editing them. However, I just received an email alerting me to the fact that there were repeated posts on this thread by the same user that were confrontational in nature. As such, the user has now been suspended/banned from the site, based on the forum rules which include:
No Personal Attacks. Do not harass, belittle, threaten or “flame” another member. Do not call other members names, even in jest. You may dispute opinions and facts, but do so with facts and not by taking it to a personal level. This forum is intended to operate in a positive environment. Please help us achieve that goal.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Hey mods, any chance of banning this two year old, immigrant, crook?
mvandor
why is "immigrant" a word used to discredit this guy? You kinda threw it in there as some sort of slur. Big difference between immigrants and illegal immigrants. Even if this dude is from another country, it has nothing to do with him selling a bogus jersey. Let's work hard to keep politics off of this forum.

His english was too poor to be his first language, indicating to me he was not raised in the USA, meaning in all likelihood he'd immigrated here from elsewhere, legally or illegally. To the best of my knowledge of the language, "immigrant" is not a slur but a word used to indicate a person being from another country. Given that my wife is a legal immigrant from Europe, I fail to see the slur you see.
"Hey mods, any chance of banning this two year old, immigrant, crook?"
Clearly, the word was used as a slur. Did you mean well when you included "immigrant" between "two year old" and "crook?"
Yes, immigrant is not a slur, but in context, you had meant for it to be a demeaning term.
And I believe you failed to answer bothteam's question as to why that remark was relevant to his banning? His poor English indicates that he came from another country... therefore you must make note of that and advise the mods? Let me check again the forum's policy on immigration history.
