I'll speak up on the matter, but I'm only giving my own opinions here. I voted against the ban, but I didn't get involved in the discussion because as he is a friend, my "impartiality" comes into question. I don't feel it was necessary to ban him, a long moderation perhaps, to see if he could get himself under control - which he has - if you look at the situation, he could have created numerous accounts over the past week to be able to post - he didn't do that, he has been slilent since his suspension. He created only one when his account was first suspended so that he could find out what happened. You can't PM with a suspended account, or even log in, so in order to do that he didn't have a choice but to create a new account.
But again, as I talk to him quite frequently via other venues, and I do consider him to be a friend, I thought best that after giving my initial views I should remain quiet while the discussion was ongoing.
I think that's an excellent post with so many pertinent points. presented more eloquently than has been written thus far too.
