His thoughts on Big Brother were usually well-evaluated though.

Its difficult to talk about someone when theyre not here to defend their self... its unfair really, But I can tell you with certainty that he isnt the angel youd like him to be...
I rarely ever made or make threads in serious debates and news, but its just difficult for me to ignore borderline-xenophobia when I saw it on the homepage, and obviously I like to reply if somebody quotes me when i do post there.
his departure clearly made an impact on some users, but the only change for me personally, is the lesser relevance on the debates subforum, and I dont mind that much on a bb forum.
If kirk misses others as much as others miss him, im sure he'll come back.


Furthermore, I very rarely use emojis, and i rarely initiate debates by directly quoting somebody (usually just type my initial reaction to an OP and then come back if somebody quotes it) so I dont think your trick for no bans applies to me really.. I have never been banned (never actually had 3 infractions at the same time, I always assumed that it was a '3 strikes and youre out' rule until earlier on in the thread) Id like to think that I havent been banned because I wouldnt insult a member, despite getting a few insults thrown at myself, even here you called my opinions wacky.. Bit uncalled for.
I have agreed with all but one of my infractions and I understand the boundaries which kirk and the other banned members have crossed. Theres little use sulking. Kirk would probably still be here if he wasnt banned for rule-breaking in the first place.. But he did rule-break so he got banned, decided life was unfair and vowed to never come back.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but his leaving is just another example of that. Things not going his own way. He wasn't even banned. (I don't think).

Good riddance, I guess.
apart from his constant infractions due to certain people reporting him 24/7

its a mystery to me why he wants to stay away
