Why was he banned?
I saw a review of it on either this, or the retireearlyhomepage.

Thanks.
Lets just say he apparently had difficulty following the rules and didn't respond well when the owner of the forum asked him to change his behavior.

I think Deserat has read it, but she's not on this board every day. You could wait until she sees this thread, or you might want to PM her.

Don't know the guy or much of the background about his being banned from this forum, but sitting through a 60 to 90 minute PowerPoint presentation?? Rather have burning toothpicks under my toenails!

I'd say that the last 5 minutes of the "shameful event" was recorded there...the "whole" of it involved a multi-year effort to be a pain in the ass.

Hmm - it's in my library - I would wait until it is a bit cheaper or buy it used. He takes an engineering technique to planning your retirement. It's sponsored by IEEE, so it's a bit dry, but his ideas are good and sound for planning your retirement.

I sort of thought the real root cause for his abrasive nature and subsequent banning might have had something to do with the 20-30 glasses of wine he proudly consumed per week (with much scientific justification), but then again I what the heck do I know.

Fact-based poster. Good book. Wiley is a major publisher. Beware of those that collaborated on banning him.
