Bump. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by iampunha \* > \*\* From what I’ve heard from others it was a case of “Poster X complains via email about Poster Y. Brief exchange, things are looked into, and poster Y is banned”. > > Mods’ll probably clear things up somewhat if you email them, I’d guess. \*\* Let’s just say there were good and ample reasons, and he had good and ample warning. People aren’t banned lightly. But _no_ should have to be afraid of getting a virus dumped on them; not admins, not mods and not anyone who may have deliberately or inadvertantly cross a jerk.

> [@](#): > > So JDT went nuts, huh? Not sure “went” is the right word, there, **relic** , because that implies a change of position. I’d guess it’s more like he leaned over just a bit, which put him all the way there. ---
