I think he was banned when it was discovered he'd taken one for the team and punched that weirdo who runs Monster in the face.Quote:

it does, if you read it from left to right.
post #65 of 1061/19/11 at 8:04amI'm not sure who runs Monster tbh. Why did he 'take one for the team' and where did he actually 'punch this guy in the face'?
I was only looking for impressions of the W ES5 and have come across a madcap crime caper. Great stuff. He seems well informed.
The reason I am intrigued, is because I came across a video on YouTube by OwnDIZZL3 who has been banned from here. I enjoyed his video on ES5, the way he talks about the free t-shirt in particular... but some have said he is a stammer. Something which I'm not too keen on getting involved with.
So there you have it, a world of mystery.

When you were banned, someone pm'd me to ask what had happened.
I told them you'd had a tragic accident on your "personal mobility scooter" and that if he wanted to know more, he could ask Anaxilus.
I felt a little bad when the person took it totally seriously.

Ah, no worries mate - there are more conspiracy theories regarding my premature death than Elvis. In fact, me and the Pres often get together for a pint and have a little chortle about the more wacky ones.
My mobility scooter, on the other hand, is mortally offended by your cheek.

For a moment, I thought you were posting these in Anaxilus' thread because you were saying that Anaxilus was Steve Guttenberg.
Sure... we can start that rumor right now.Really??? Steve Guttenberg is Anaxilus?? Oh man, that's great !!

I can see the headlines now...Steve Guttenberg -- banned from Head-Fi... !

Damn it!
And I thought I was dead set on getting the UE RM's. Now I'm seriously considering getting the ES5's. If this wasn't such a big purchase I wouldn't have this much of a problem.
I want accuracy... but I want realistic sounding music I can enjoy as well...
