    That being said, far more knowledgeable people have also been banned. No one is immune.

    LOL! It is what it is. That said, I don't think we are too ban trigger happy. That said, which guys were far more knowledgeable, and got the ax? I know OJ was one, but other than that?

    Just asking, because maybe some folks should be given another chance.

    Oh ke definitely deserved it. Off the top of my head I'm thinking of OJ and Hitmanfluffy. Maybe a couple others but i don't want to expend too much energy.

    Just thought of Bigfatpaulie. Not for being a dick, but other shenanigans.

    While OJ misunderstood / misrepresented / misbehaved at times, he was possibly misunderstood / misrepresented himself. I miss his contributions. His ban was "indefinite" not permanent. Can he be invited back?

    I also think that perhaps @MoatsArt among others grew from their interactions with him.

    And probably Anax too. While never formally banned, he seems effectively banned. Very knowledgeable but very toxic.

    @ultrabike I think we we’re referring to Amir here and a ban involving him and his cohorts. I think... the details are fuzzy. Doesn’t his knowledge rival that of anyone in this industry?

    You mean the developer of the effective number of amirbits?

    Nah. My question was candid. I don't think we are too trigger happy. Could be wrong. We may not be the nicest kumbaya corner in the interwebz, but I don't think we are that bad. My opinion is biased though and we are not perfect.

    Anyhow. Yup. It's sometimes sad.

    Moatsart: its a sad story, and it is what members don't see that resulted in the ban. It is hard to recall what was restricted info, and I mustn't cross the confidentiality line, but, for all his great contributions, Moatsart means asking to the mods to take up full-time nursing. It's not on.

    Anax: It's a Changstar story, and I'm just not aware of the depth of it, but... Whatever good things they may bring, if a visitor is going to crap on my sofa, I'm not going to invite them in.

    I'm aware that the guy was, or became, a turd.

    Amir (and Amirites): Once is enough. Really. JUST SAY NO!

    And he gets himself plenty of internet time. For those that want to read his stuff there is no shortage.

    Can't comment on some of the names that are old-established, ex-changstar, might have been around for ever folk. The mods are also such folk. I don't think they take those decisions lightly.

    How To Win Friends And Influence People dramas... Some are fairer than others. Maybe one or two people didn't get treated so well. It is an imperfect forum in an imperfect world.

    @Thad E Ginathom Maybe one or more of the people you mentioned are here already and you just don't recognise them.

    Maybe. And if, under their new IDs, they follow the path of the true and righteous, giving the mods no reason to investigate... Welcome back!

    I'm not a friend but I always enjoyed OJNeg's posts. Would like to see him posting around here again fwiw.

    I miss the death metal eloquence of a Psalmanazar rant, but understand why he's gone.

    Marv would probably remind you that many were banned for their own mental health, not as a punishment
