i just want to go on record here as saying I am disappointed that kevin's hateful post last night only got him a 30 day suspension- I was unlucky enough to have seen the post, and judging Kevin's against what bucketfoot posted- I can only go by what Tomhet posted as an excerpt in his farewell, I think it was just as much warranting banning as bucketfoot's post(I didn't see the bucketfoot incident before deletions took place) even more so as bucketfoots seemed to be a loud abusive attack on Tomhet personally, and his intelligence politically, whereas what Kevin posted was obscene, racist, and hateful and attacked many not just one-I don't think one's popularity or personality on the forum should negate rules- I don't see this as a fair outcome- Kevin should have been banned as well if bucketfoot was-i am not defending bucketfoot's position here- justthat any member who crosses the line should be treated the same as the next-

He didn't just cross the line, he scribbled over it, then kicked it around, and then s**t on it. For those few (I hope) that saw it, I doubt that anyone would disagree.

All,
After discussing the recent forum debacle with my fellow moderators, I decided to arrange a vote on what action is appropriate for Kevin. The majority vote was to ban him.
Reluctantly, I'm also back in the admin seat for now, but I'm going to take an extremely no-nonsense approach. I don't like locking threads for several reasons, so I'm not going to be using that approach (it doesn't work in the in the long term anyway - threads don't cause problems, people do). Instead, I'll be using the suspension option instead of warnings and immediate bans when warranted. All banning decisions will be put to the vote amongst the moderators.
I have to say this whole thing took me by surprise, I've been quite detached from the forum recently and I'm on holiday, so I was slow to react and I apologise for that. Many of you have expressed concern over our admin Tomhet, both via PM and in forum posts. I have not yet heard back from him yet although I'd love to see him come back, even if only as a regular member. At the same time I respect and understand his decision to leave. I want to thank him publicly for all his time and effort on the forum over the last few years.

Whilst I do not condone personal attacks on anyone here.
I would like to point out that, whilst everybody is displaying bleeding hearts for poor little Tomhet, you all seem to have very poor short term memory when it comes to his past behaviour here.
I don't recall ANYONE reigning him in when he was at his poisonous bullying best a year or so ago. Especially as he was so adept at posting and then re-editiing those posts deliberately in order to make the recipient appear to be lying, presumably to flatter his own self importance. Not forgetting that he managed to bring in his little Scooby gang of groupies into any attack.
All rather grubby, hypocritical and terribly sad really.

I must have short term memory then; I always remembered him as a person to stay out of major arguments (I've been here since may '08 too, it's not like I've only been around for a couple months or so). Or, I don't have short term memory loss, and I just happened to miss where he did such bad deeds?

It's not a good time to post provoking unhelpful posts. I've temporarily suspended blackdanter for 30 days.
