But no one has the right to police our policies on the internet as a whole. I may not have gotten along all that great with LyraLover that much, but banning someone for an off-site occurrence is wrong, and is something I've always considered an abuse of power. This isn't the first time I've seen something like this happen and I had the same opinion then add I do now. This is very wrong, and should not have happened. Anything that happened outside of or Skype group or off of this site, we have no right to enforce
A good point for most circumstances, but you must remember that we came from MLW. That's our origin, and part of our community's history. Taxman was kicked out for a reason, so think of it like a member here continuously bullying someone who was banned from here, someone sick and undeserving of such relentless harassment. It's very much relevant to us, for a lot of reasons, more than I'm willing to get into here. We staff considered the decision very carefully, and thank you for your contribution of thought, but this had simply gone too far.
Let me know if you need anything. I'm here to help.
