If we're going to have another 2000 post thread, it may as well be here.

That would have been my move.

they turned him into a neutered Punching Bag.

I did tell him to be himself when I was first able to get him reinstated. The thing with Face happened after that.

What were the specific set of rules though? No one has posted what they were and Hootie seems to be denying they there were any.

He can use the ignore feature and still interact with 99% of the board. It just isnt a valid argument.

It sounds more like Hootie was brought back on a hangman's noose.

They gave the guy a break! The 'short leash" was a gift! Now I am sure that they regret it!

But, I didn't create this place, and I respect the opinions of the other mods.

I just don't see how DaFace (not Phobia) could have made it any clearer. Again, DaFace (not Phobia) specifically told him that people would try to get him going. Maybe billay started it, and maybe he started it in multiple threads, but it ended with Hootie following billay around to multiple threads and starting shit, instead of putting billay on ignore and/or not responding to him or carrying it into other threads.

DaFace didn't ban Hootie.

I don't. I think he's always been a productive member of the board.

So, is this one of those deals you mentioned earlier where the mods always agree on this stuff?

oh no. I said we generally talk about these kinds of things, but when someone acts on their own there is enough mutual respect to go along with it.
