..and his ban..?...reasonably/without arguments/discuss...

..I think it's been 3 months now, I have never condoned what he did but he wasn't the only person involved...I know the 'anon' thing was the problem with that but I think that also has to be factored in, that a 'forced leniency' to some should also mean that he has one as well..that's fair..?...

...a sanction for anything should always be clearly defined and this one isn't..he can't 'prove himself' unless he is given the opportunity to prove himself and if he messes up, no one knows more that he does that this could be/will probably be his last chance....there are many things that have happened this year, which have hurt/offended TiBB members and it's bad for the forum/for everyone if we can't move on from them/we have to move on from them...can we move on from Tumblr and give him the same 'fairness'....they were only words and words do not have the ability to hurt, unless we allow them to....Scott is 'controversial'/some members are 'controversial' and forums/groups need that.. but for many people, he is also a big part and a big heart of TiBB....


..I think this 'offsite' stuff has been a 'first' this year, so it was good in a way to give a harsh/lengthy ban...but it has been harsh and lengthy enough..?..I mean there is no point in a ban/sanction that isn't aimed to achieve something/learn from it and if that hasn't been done in 3 months, then it's not ever going to...what's the purpose/but to see if anything has been learned, and the only way to know that is to end the ban and see...
