Ok, and I read that. But robbing a bank and saying you should get away with it because somebody else did is just stupid.

You would be mostly correct. We wouldn't want the leftist opinions challenged.

I'm not trying to convince the mods one way or the other. I just happen to think they were justified, and don't understand what basis the "unban" crowd is working from.

We happen to think it was unjustified. Simple as that.

Fixed. Didn't you know that being Republican is a bannable offense?

So why are so many people all up in arms to unban him?

Plus, with all the notes he's been leaving on bbzzdd and such, I'd never ever ever ever let him back even if he brought me 20 virgins!

Am I the only one that feels this way?

I'll take the 20 virgins thank you very much

Apparently he got a vacation for whatever reason. Then he re-registered under a new name to get around the vacation.

So, now, he's trying to start this campaign to get reinstated. But calling the mods names and crap isn't gonna be the way to do it IMHO.

Oh, I've seen a few of his pics on bbzzdd.com. Didn't know what he was banned for though.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...never temp the Hand of Mod. :D

at this point, it doesn't matter who was right and who was wrong, you just don't run a forum effectively by being wishy washy/showing weakness

It was all stupid to begin with. shinerburke isn't even really asking to be unbanned AFAIK, he's just annoyed at the hypocrisy of it all. And all this furor later, guess what one left-leaning zealot is still freely posting away in P&N?

You'd think by now someone would have realized that the anonymous mod scheme is ridiculous. You people have no need to hide your identities - 90% of the people who try to find out who's who can easily do so. Step into the light of accountability already.

There are plenty of unhinged, right wing wackos in P&N. Few of them, though, have bitched and cried about not getting their way in forum issues, then logged in under a second account to bitch some more. Screw him.

Worse, once he decided to get colorful at the other place, there is no way they can let him back. If I was to consider relenting, that would have been the coffin in his nail and I wouldn't do it. If so it sets a precident leading to your point. This zoo could not be run without even more chaos.

so you think being arbitrary and capricious is the way to go?

there should be some kind of balance.
