I am not saying MB shouldn't have rules etc. etc. I just kinda wish the people who got banned had boundaries, knew when to goof around, and knew when to stop. So they can always be part of the banter.

I will certainly miss him, even though he slagged the **** out of me. I honestly think maybe a long ban - a month or so - might have been appropriate, but a permanent one, especially given the questionable motives behind it, is I think a step too far, and another step along a dark road that leads us all towards the final exit sign.

I certainly will feel like I enjoy, and will probably want to frequent here, less in his absence than I did.

tl;dr: **** off, I liked the guy. Up yours.
