Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

Last night, he made an EXTREMELY obscene remark at another forum member. The post appears to have been deleted. I guess that was the one that finally made nilsjohan decide to have a serious chat with him.

Oh, that's too bad. I don't know what he said, but it couldn't be that bad, could it?

As far as i can tell, even Spatula realised he went to far and agreed with a "temporary" ban

I will not repeat it, but when I saw it I couldn't believe my eyes, and I'm not prude at all. Sure, he has his moments where he is flooding the forum with lower-quality posts, and he admits that, but this time, he really went too far. You can ask nilsjohan if you really want to know. But who cares, he realized himself that he had to leave. I hope he will be allowed to come back at some point. It's fun arguing with him, and he often has good and thought-provoking posts.

Spatula is not at all banned.
He just got a reprimand because of a very offensive and obscene comment towards another member.
I don't know why he decided to "voluntarly ban" himself, maybe he felt so ashamed...

For your information, nobody will be banned from Piano Forum just because of one or two offensive or inappropriate posts. You will first have to ignore several warnings before you can qualify for the ban list.

Yes, I think it was.  But I don't know for a fact.  Besides, why does it matter to you?

If it was toward her, I think she is entitled to know. I would want to know if he said that about me.

Was the post deleted?
If it was not I can't understand why he decided to autoban himself since anything I've read last from him was not that bad or dirty
Was that post about sex sicko?
If so, what the problem is?
I have seen a lot of worst and more vulgar posts
I think in the 21 century we should forget about hypocrisy, political correctness and bigotry

To me, looking from the outside and afterwards, it seems like he made a big martyr out of himself and people totally fell for it.

Oh good. That means I am probably still safe after my smartcracks about the "beefcakes"!
