Is that like a misogynist?  I've never heard the above term before, but then again I'd probably fall into the 'stupid' category you also mentioned.

Again, what is a 'metalhead'?  Are you talking about precious metals or the spun-out heavy metal stereotype that should have gone away in the 1990s?  

I've only read a handful of Roach's posts, and I agree he has strong opinions (don't remember what they are, because I don't visit the sections he posts in anymore) and this might be off-putting to newbies, but people say the same thing about me.  The fact is that most newbies here are only interested in bounties and earning money from the forum and don't want to contribute anything constructive.  If you're here to learn, lurking is your friend.  

It's a tough forum, and I learned that from my days as a lurker.  When it came time to register my account, I took zero shit and was prepared to defend myself.  That's kind of how I like it--and I don't think someone deserves a flag for being hostile, unwelcoming, or whatever.  Nor do I think this dude is a 'danger' to newbies & guests.  

The dishonesty stuff I'd need to see evidence of.  I don't know about the hacking, but I'm not of the opinion that someone can't be trusted just because their account got hacked--and I know some people believe the opposite.  I'm not going to oppose a flag here; I'm just being a skeptic, and respectfully, too.  OP's got my respect.
