I can understand why folks disagree with the admins, **even if the complaints seem meritless to me.** I took that to mean that as far as you were concerned, everyone elses complaints were meritless, at least in your view. Upon re-reading, you never said that **ALL** the complaints were meritless, I just read it that way. ---

By the way, the above bolding in the quote by you was, obviously, done by me. My apologies for forgetting to state that in the previous message. ---

That’s not at all what I meant. I meant that, even if folks’ complaints seem meritless to me [in this particular case], I can understand where they’re coming from. It was by no means a universal statement, as supported by other things I’ve said here. I believe my first post in this thread was agreeing that **Tuba** owed **Homie** an apology. Glad we’ve cleared that up! Daniel ---

I remember it only because **warmgun** was one of the few who managed to get the banning overturned. However people here _do_ tend to have really, really long memories.
