Nothing is ever Hootie's fault. Evar! I've dealt with the guy long enough to understand that. Every single mod understands that. Was it a ticky-tack ban? Absolutely. But he was living under ticky-tack rules and he failed. Should we have allowed him back from several bans in 2011? Obviously not. That was a mistake and I'll own it. Half the mods were on the fence and half didn't want him back. I decided to play the nice guy and I screwed up. Obviously, the "short-leash" experiment was a bad idea as well. We learned from it.
Hootie is banned. He's welcome to discuss it with Kyle for as long as Kyle is willing to respond. But I'm not debating Hootie from the grave. Friend him on facebook. Go find another place to meet up with Hootie. Hootie is banned. He doesn't have a place here any longer.
