Some will say that the opinions of a newguy like me hold f**k all stead in the context of things, but BECAUSE I'm a new guy I think that makes them relevent in their own way.
So I say this.
PLEASE DONT STERILIZE SCI-FORUMS! It is the colour of this place that makes me hang around. Intelligent people being able to express themselves each in their own way. I liked spookz's sense of humour and I feel this place is less without him and as long as Xev sets a good example WITHIN her own sub-forum and doesn't moderate based on personal agendas I would say the same about her. Isn't that what it comes down too, whether the majority feel an individual contributed to their enjoyment of the site, or detracted from it? Of course I dont know all the details, haven't been here long enough to familiarize myself with this forums social intricacies, so I guess I'm not really in a position to judge for myself whether the ban was justified or not. So all I'll say is this.
Stick around Bob, you'll be back up to 6000 in no time!
