It could be true but I very much doubt the validity of this post.Makes little sense.

Not sure why? I think I know who I've banned over the years. Other posters have been handed temporary infractions (yellow carded in the olden days), but never banned.

I am querying the death threat not the ban although I accept it could be true.
People put a lot up on this board and present it as the truth but fact checking disputes that truth from time to time.I am a man of great experience and not a little intelligence and the idea of someone threatening another poster's relative does not make sense.I speak as a man who has been threatened on here with garrotting and on a separate occasion a poster was going to come around with his shotgun.Yes I can see a threat to a poster could be true but why would someone threaten their relative?
Just my thoughts on the matter.

As you say, it didn't make sense. Two posters, one who still posts on here and another one who was fairly new got into a routine argument. Then out of the blue the new poster made a comment along the lines of "I know who you are, I know where you live and I'm going to come around your house, snap your wife's neck and end her". Needless to say, that level of threatened violence warranted an immediate ban and in hindsight maybe should have warranted even further action if that is even possible.

It must have been many years ago as the list of banned users in FootyMAD only goes back to 2016 and it's not shown there. Testament to my comment about the moderators on here being accommodating, since 2016 the 3 of us have only permanently banned around 8 posters (and I believe maybe 4 of those were your alter egos). I did ban 1 username that I had forgotten about but that was at the request of a Miller who had opened a new account as his previous one had been 'hacked' and was being used to post 'dodgy links' across FootMAD. Some sites/mods have banned >50 users in just the past year.
