Per Wabbit2313, he’s not banned. The banned avatar you see on his profile page is from someone that wrote on his wall. His own avatar is lower on the page.

I guess I can be glad I stayed out of that one. I still have no idea of what happened.
I hope he's okay and will find his way back if he wishes. I always looked forward to his posts.
Yeah....I learned awhile ago....stay out of the politically charged threads, at a minimum. Even "coin related" political threads can get heated, so I have pretty much stayed out of those as well.
I understand these forums can become a "home away from home" for some folks, and a place to talk about all things that interest a person, but, since it is a coin forum, one has to be careful and try to stick to the hobby. There are places on the internet for the other stuff. Heck, the old open forum here, which is now non-CU and available to anyone wanting (actually, anyone DARING) to go there, is available for almost anything under the sun.
Here, however, it's best to stay away from the politics and talk about the coins.
And apparently his postings about Mint history, which I love.

What the heck is going on? RogerB posted about a pink slip in mint employees' pay envelopes and maybe another topic as well in just the past week or so?
You must be kidding me? @RogerB is one of the most numismatical posters on this board. All his posts have been nothing if not to our benefit for knowledge of the source of our numismatics. I don't understand and cannot believe that he would ever say something that would perturb the powers that be. Not even a warning shot over the bow?

Okay now...I was thinking that I was spending a little too much time on the forum lately, but somehow I missed these two senior members getting banned yesterday. Anyone know what happened? At the very least I'd like to make sure I don't make the same mistake.

I missed all of this stuff. Is this true???
As far as Keets.........Didn't know about the contact info. Me thinks that would not help either.

Sorry - I did not pay proper attention to his page. Thank you for the correction.

Keets stopped playing and took his coins home. I don't blame him a bit. In light of the recent activities here it was probably the best move he made.
Sad.

Any update here ?
Successful transactions with : MICHAELDIXON, Manorcourtman, Bochiman, bolivarshagnasty, AUandAG, onlyroosies, chumley, Weiss, jdimmick, BAJJERFAN, gene1978, TJM965, Smittys, GRANDAM, JTHawaii, mainejoe, softparade, derryb, Ricko
Bad transactions with : nobody to date
Maybe he started collecting stamps?
So, did anyone actually get hold of him? Hopefully he is OK and just not participating by choice.
Collector, occasional seller
Heard he took his socks off to count his SCD"s and got stuck at this little piggy went to market :'(
I like him. Always did. Can't really blame him for not coming back here,
Pete
Titled "Why political threads are a bad idea". Practically tore the board apart with it.
Not a single person asked me for his contact info. You all can't miss him that much!
I miss Keets. I enjoy his posts and dialoging with him about coins, sports, current events and even politics.
I hope he is ok and simply choosing to take a break or not participate.
Wherever you are Keets hope you are well.
For the record, someone did finally ask for it.
I guess I can be glad I stayed out of that one. I still have no idea of what happened.
I hope he's okay and will find his way back if he wishes. I always looked forward to his posts.
I miss him and I miss RB
OMG! What happened to RB?
All his discussions and comments seem to be zeroed out too.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
PerryHall as well.
