We would have allowed people to have discussions without locking the thread, banning the the account, or warning people into a spirit of timid boredom. We would have respected the people who post here, and their emotions, and understood that there are times where it is perfectly reasonable to lose your temper and make comments from a place of anger.
It's a shame the forum had to turn out like this, but Gree and the people who didn't want us as moderators are responsible. And they got exactly what they wanted.
