Grig annoyed me, but I beared with him, and my patience finally quavered when he flooded GD. Only then did I see Xav's warning, and I never saw a post from him since. Maybe he flooded the Forums earlier when I wasn't here, too, but I didn't see any of it. In fact I thought he was just laying low for a while. I don't support the banning of members, though, unless 3 very clear and distinct warnings have been issued (EDIT: I though I put something abut unless it's very clear they're total losers who just go around making arses out of themselves by insulting everyone, because I know we've had some of those here before), and I'm pretty sure in the rules it says the first ban will be for only four days. As for not talking about banned members, I'm pretty sure that was only added after last years little outburst, and I know for certain who, it was decided, was to blame for that (EDIT: Pete tells me it was there beforehand). And yet I came back. If we don't have these sorts of...threads, then the actions of the Powers that Be are just going to remain distant and confusing. That's what it felt like for me last year. This year I'm in a position where I actually know what the hell has been going on.
I 50% agree with MrBoj, a lot of you are over reacting, but just because this is the Internet, it doesn't mean the concept of fairness can be thrown away. Grig shouldn't have been banned, that's my final opinion on that matter. Trust me to take some obscure middle-path stance. I also think you're all over reacting. Calm it down. I don't think any election you have is going to do anything more than express the views of whatever small proportion of the Forumers cast their votes in it.
Anyway, about a hundred people have probably posted while I've been typing this... (EDIT: nope)
