Don't forget that Batlord was perma-banned, and technically the mods had plenty of examples of him breaking the rules. If everybody had just said "Eh, screw him, he's gone, nothing we can do about it," instead of complaining, he would have stayed gone.
I never knew that The Batlord was ever perma-banned. Maybe I forgotten he was. I thought it was a ban for a few days. I sorta recall saying I didn't want to see him banned.

There are a few other I've seen banned and I haven't noticed their behavior to be any different than a few other members on this board. I kinda understand DwnWthVwls' pov and what he is getting at.
