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 banned members have crossed.
