If, as you guys and
@Apricot say, that being "a dick", a "repeat offender" or "posting grossly abusive or offensive comments" gets you banned, how is it that threads like this are allowed?

Pretty sure there are some repeat offenders in that thread being "dicks" and posting abusive comments, yet they seem to get away with it without any bother at all. I notice a few C words flying around there too, yet none of the mods bat an eyelid. It's always the same handful of people, we all know who they are, yet nothing ever changes.
The guy they are attacking has done nothing wrong at all as far as I can see, and has added a lot to this forum in the past - yet he has to come and defend himself against baseless comments and accusations referring to his very successful business, and the mods here allow it to go on. Not a single person in that thread has been adversely affected by the guy they are attacking or even complained because they bought a service from the guy that wasn't up to scratch, not one.
Like I said before, all members on BHW should equally play by the rules, some members seem to be more equal than others though.
Is it any wonder that people like
@MatthewWoodward don't post here any more, and many people like him with good knowledge of SEO have disappeared?
Do your jobs Moderators. This starts with moderating without bias. Maybe if you did that people would feel more at ease about posting helpful information here, as they will be less fearful of a baseless attack.
