difficult one...he chats utter crap. Amusing to us sparks, dangerous to everyone else.

I think he should be given access to the arms to preach his **** in here so we can all laugh at him, and hes then not giving out terrible and ridiculous advice lol.

Can't understand the guy, the most deluded mong ive ever seen. He can't be right in the head.
 
Have to agree about him but his threads do create some interesting debate. Bet you the wholesalers round his way love seeing him coming to get all the bonding cables he needs lol.
 
Yep...i wonder who he works for, or if hes self employed what the hell does he tell his poor customers?

Would love to step inside his mind for 10mins, he's a character most definitley.
 
I think he should be banned before he gets someone else banned,I for one am biting my tongue with him at the minute.
 
I tend to ignore his rants, so close the threads and ban him

He's not Ban-all-sheds in disguise is he??
 
He actually makes me laugh, been working nights recently so not been sleeping properly but this fella just makes me laugh.
 
He is online now, I am drunk and tired see how long I can entertain him for before he starts insulting me.
 
At some point some unsuspecting sole is going to follow his 'advice' and it's going to go horribly wrong for them. With the culture of 'sue everyone' he's going to be in the gooey brown stuff, and if it's posted on here then there may be issues for the forum too.

If I want amusement then there's plenty of opportunity to get it on the internet, TV, and seeing the results of some peoples work. Personally I'd ban him, make the posts sticky and give the reasons why his opinions are utter ****e.

Changed my mind now, the bloke is a complete arse who needs to take a long walk of a short pier.
 
I bet there will be another amendment by then too, that will be really interesting to see his opinions then.
 
I can't see any benefit in keeping them open and keeping his membership other than amusement for us but that amusement very quickly turns into exasperation then to rage.
I'm glad he's gone because his stupidity could have gotten a worthwhile member banned.

Close them and hide them from public viewing, he's a dangerous man who is winding everyone up, good Job he has now been removed, no good for the trainees here IMO.

Can see everyones points of views, and when im putting my serious head on - mods you've done the right thing in banning him. It was only my selfish self that wanted him to remain, for the light entertainment - one of the finest comedians ive ever listened too. But, he's a menace and quite rightly banned.

All im left to say is...RIP David, i know most members wont miss you, but my selfish self will. See you in 2014 bro'!
 
Oh Dear! From Sky News 7:30 PM update-
Since being banned by a well known electrician's discussion forum renowned author Mr D W Cockburn has announced that he intends to spend the ban writing and self publishing an illustrated guide to the generation, transmission, and use of electrical energy. As he has so much time on his hands he expects the book to be extremely large "I'd guess at the moment it could run to as many as thirty five pages" he told their reporter.
He also said that he intends to dispel all of the myths involved in what is actually not a very complicated field despite what we are led to believe by the electricity supply companies. "I intend to show conclusive proof that electricity is actually thought waves generated by giant hamster's dreams while they are asleep and that you do not actually need to employ what is laughingly called a qualified electrician as contrary to what you are told they are all charlatans and only I know the full truth" he was heard to say.
Sky news believe that the self publication of this book could be delayed by his detention in a hospital for the criminally insane.
