He was a real credit to this site and the firearms community on both sides of the pond. But we didn't want him here anymore.

Why was he banned?

What's the walking on the cracks in the pavement censorship excuse on this one commissar?

I'll leave it to site staff to specify if they wish, but looking at the ban and warning list, it was earned.

It really depends on who's side you heard, and how much credence give it. I heard his side of it.

This is probably not the thread to discuss it.

I agree.

Discussing WHY he was banned seems to serve absolutely no purpose in a thread like this, which is about remembering someone who was a member of this site for a long time, and who did a LOT of great work for the shooting sports in the UK and the US.

(For the record, I am the Staffer who banned him, and I was also aware of his retread account and I agreed to let it slide as long as he let go of the dispute that originally got him banned. It is all water under the bridge now, and I am very sad to hear that he is gone.

).

... this isn’t a democracy, it’s a cheerocracy.

As Mark would probably told you the NRA in the U.K. Is about shooting not political activism the ranges are some of the most beautiful in the world from gallery to 1200m and 108 lanes at 600m .

The world of shooting is diminished with the passing of Mark willing to help anyone and quick to call you a c€*t if you deserve it.

I will miss you Mark you made it all the more interesting.

Oh no. 8 years ago he helped me and an FBI agent named Kelly Something assist the FBI Agent in London get the London Police to find a London based but Nigerian group who were running a big scam. We got everything even the particular Western Union office they were collecting the money. The FBI was ready to jump when the Metropolitan police refused to move on it. Our Legate was livid. Bradders was dynamic throughout the case. I regret that when I was actually going to meet him in AZ. I had my heart attack and died. (For a couple of minutes)
