'holier than thou' Hey, stop stealing my lines Dave...
I think John's banning at RWI was simply because he cloned the vast majority of 'important' people over there, whereas By-Tor was the only prolific person over here (Pug don't count cos him and Klink hate each other)
I like John, I think banning anyone off a forum should only be after they get public warnings/cool off periods for their behaviour and are seen by everyone to have been given a chance to atone. If they then show no remorse, bye, bye.
Whether your admission was because somebody would eventually rumble the IP's you used or not, the fact is that you are showing remorse.This mean's you should be given a chance IMO.
Regarding Fakey's site at RWS as a comparison, he used names to promote his site, wrong... maybe.
John used names to destroy Klink's at Replicat, wrong... definitely...
My pet chimp 'Twitchy' agrees with me so you're out-voted Dave...he only listens to me...
