I would never criticize staff decisions because you are doing the work and not me.

But Frods was one of the few theists worth talking to.

I'll miss him and that is my only comment.

Sure, I'm really sorry you guys got pushed into making such a decision. It must be really tough to have to take action against an old member. I've seen enough evidence during my time here to know that you guys make fair decisions. Sometimes people force your hand and give you no choice.

Kind of feel the same.

Do you feel that your forum age should have any bearing on how the rules apply? The truth is yes, we have given fr0d0 much more leniancy for being an old regular member. But there is a limit to that.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't think anyone here is asking that you (meaning mods in general) take shit from anyone. I want you to enforce the rules in whatever way works best for the forum. I want you to be as lenient as you can be to anyone who deserves it. When the time comes that you have to ban someone I love, I will support you even though I disagree. I didn't have to be the one to deal with him behind scenes and were I a mod I may feel differently, who knows? So, please don't feel like I came in here to say "how dare you, you all suck". I'm a bit heartbroken to lose someone on this forum who I consider a friend. Someone I enjoyed seeing here. Frodie is a good guy with a big heart and it really sucks that he's gone. That's all I was saying. You guys have to do what you have to do, even when it sucks. I get that.

... Fuck...

I've been so... fucking... ignorant... I'm so sorry, fr0d0...



I'm really going to miss having you here... place won't be the same without you around... you know the feel, huh... hahaha...

Are there any particular threads that show what was going on?

What fr0d0 was banned? What the hell happened?

"The pope inserts foot" thread is where shit sort of went downhill but there's more than just that thread alone that factored into the decision to ban him.

That is why we have warnings Losty, we warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, warn, much more than anyone else in his case.

I assure you, it is hard to me too and I revoked my votes about him last easter when he accused me of bias, despite my earnest advice as a friend for him to control his histrionics.

I stand for my peers decision as they were given no choice.

Why do I feel like my point went straight over your head?
