    Sadly recent events have forced the mods to site ban rooferpete and he is sadly missed already by those of us who have received professional building advice from him through pm's and by reading his advice on public threads. For those of you not familiar with rooferpete he was a regular poster on the DIY forum and was the man a lot of us relied on for top class advice. A lot of fuss has kicked off since his ban with many people angry that he has been banned and want him back.

    There are enough threads active at the moment dealing with whether he should be allowed to come back or not but in this thread I simply want an answer to the question....

    Is roofer Pete a legend of the boards?

    Please no debating the site ban here, simply vote to make Pete a legend.

    yes, helped me several times. Nice to know when you going through a nightmare of a self build, that you can ask someone questions and get answers in a non judgemental way. Thanks Pete

    That option doesn't apply to Pete. He was either "great" or a "legend".

    You people need to get a life. RooferPete me bollox. If you were banned do you think "Roofer Pete" would give two shits? He's about as legendary as Shayne Ward is. So is he legendary?

    Also, Clown Bag, if you're gay and are worried that not enough people know, then you're going the right way to remedying that.

    Rooferpete is responsible for keeping Dellys house dry, and then he gets the boot , before he gets a chance to send a bill.:) :):)

    Prob end up banned as well but what the F**K you have to stand up and be counted in the face of the sort of Gombeen mentality prevelent among the regulators who " run" this forum ...

    Having not visited this forum in a while so i was astounded to see that the blackshirts are prevelent even here and that Roofer has been banned.I find the postings of the whiter than white's who have banned him as nothing better than the ranting of the " we can do it so we will" brigade presently in power in the government.

    He was one of the few people on this forum who was a genuine help to those who sought guidance and this much hallowed forum is going to be a poorer place without his contribution.....if you want to keep this part of the forum alive .......

    UNBAN HIM NOW!!!:mad:

    Roofer Pete himself would not come bace to the boards were he to be unbanned. Why should he? His input here was the most prolific and useful of all the contributors. It is a pity he was banned by the chap who specialises in garden drainage. He does more than just draining gardens, draining the boards of top class DIY advuce being another speciality.

    Let's see if the draining works when the winter rains come. ;)

    Well you say 'whatever', but as far as i'm concerned your talking bull and spouting lies, so to me 'whatever' is a cowardly reponse when someone points out that your talking shit.

    As Debracd said the issue is over, but i'll take note that your word can't be trusted if your happy to make up mistruths for drama effect.
