J2 - the problem is we deal with stuff everyday that most posters don't see. It's easy to say from the outside "didn't look like he was so bad" unless your the one who deals with it 24/7. Do you really think we'd ban anyone if we didn't think it was necessary? Raiders understood he was leaving, my only criticism from most is what took me so long. In this whole war thing I'd say Raiders and Kodiak were behind 80% of it. When I asked MFG, Shack and the others to leave it down here they did. The other two guys didn't. Kodiak has been banned twice, most said I was too hard on him and not hard enough on Raiders, LOL. Maybe so. Either way now they are even. To Kodiaks credit he is making a solid effort to move past this old stuff, don't think Raiders will. I like the guy but he enjoys another site more than this one now and makes no bones about it. That's fine and dandy he has his own forum (or whatever) but do we sit back and let him pester our posters to leave the site without saying anything to him? If you post here you have to respect the site. I wouldn't ask anyone to run to Peeps or MajorWager and try to get them to post here. It's not right man and we won't allow it.
Believe me every decision we wrestle with before we do it. If anyone was ready to be banned now Raiders certainly did. He was ready to move on. Besides this I don't know if you saw it but we have either moved, edited, or deleted over 200 posts from Raiders in the last 6 months. I have written, called and begged for him to move past it, never happened. The kicker is he told me it was okay to ban him, LOL! I guess he knew he had earned it. Anyway I know we will hear from another 10 guys about how "the RR is going downhill" and "everyone is leaving" but if you don't respect other people here you won't last. Trust me, Raider is not the last one to go. Like Peep usd to say, he'd ban them 30 at a time when he had to. LOL. Thanks for the question.
