I think the obvious issue that is being overlooked is that I temporarily banned him for 2 days until it was discussed with the others in which I already had a thread with the other administrators and moderators. Since you can't see this thread, you couldn't know.
The ban was not even a complete ban... it was only a ban on posts. Again... it was set for 2 days.
It was decided in that thread that it should be a week. I changed it to a week. He tried to hijack the ban and come back in to post a completely new thread, and this doesn't say anything to you? This should be ok? I mean... even if I was wrong (which I believe was the right thing to do), is this the way to handle a temporary ban on posts? He could still log in, send private messages, read the forums... all while it was being discuss in a diplomatic fashion.
If someone came into this forum and saw that it was ok to rape people... anyone... would you have stayed or taken it seriously? And what about the legal implications? Have you thought about that?
Chaimfan... using Chaim's name in his nick, needs to realize that what he says can be construed to any new poster as JTF's position on a matter. And if we allowed this... then what do you think the chances are it would happen again or with more frequency?
Do you honestly think I LIKE banning someone? Especially a long time poster?
