There's a few misconceptions here.
In the interest of setting things straight...
i tell ya, the freakin admin of this site are morons
Yeah, I know, I shouldnt even reply to that but here it goes...
Tell me CH, is this how you get service in restaurants? That is by abusing the staff? Assuming you're actually a paying customer. :lol:
As you should know by now, we don't allow material to be posted which is defamatory, excessively abusive, racist, threatening etc... if that makes us morons, then so be it.
But if we let it go unchecked, there'd be no site at all.
Once upon a time you were told to quit with the racist remarks and you've had an axe to grind ever since. Time to bury that hatchet I reckon.
Truth is, people can say pretty much what they like as long as the guidelines are adhered to.
Too many cooks spoil the broth
The decision to ban Termy was made by me and me alone.
He has received several requests in the past to stop sending personal threats to other members (some who took him seriously) and on the final request he replied by saying that he wouldn't stop doing so and that future threats would be made by using the site's private message system. I hope people appreciate that I consider this to be unacceptable.
btw, the week before, Termy's name was put forward as a possible Moderator of the Knights forum and I supported the suggestion... I went into bat for him. So it wasnt a personal decision on my part to ban him... it was done within pretty normal procedure of firstly trying to sort the matter out without too much fuss. Unfortunately, Termy challenged this and maintained his right to 'offer' someone a thumping if they were up to it. Sorry if I consider that to be a wrong attitude to have on a discussion forum.
I decided to put the comfort of the majority ahead of the attitude of one hot head.
There's no doubt that Terminator has been given a fair call and he was even given another opportunity to get back on an even keel. Unfortunately, he took the option of trying to further escalate the issue. IMO, most sites ban people too easily - I'd like to think that we give members every chance to sort things out but there does come a point when all efforts to reason are exhausted.
I also think its worth noting that this is not a Knights Forum issue. Termy's threats were in other forums.
The Knights community has been allowed a a great deal of independence within the site. But this independence does not
always extend to other sections of the site.
Now having said all that, there is nothing written which says that Terminator cannot come back to the site. Thus far, we have never imposed a permanent ban on anyone.
As has happened in the past, banned members can send an email to
forums@leagueunlimited.com - and its entirely up to Terminator if he wants to take this course of action and have his situation reviewed.

) analysis was spectacular, and there is no way i can retort such a comprehensive summary 8) . Except perhaps...
