    I think, as its only fair, the poor kid who got banned for life for disagreeing with Saracen slightly, over which ancient CPU was faster than which other ancient CPU, should be allowed back again, as well.

    What you reckon Phil?

    I just can't remember the kids name... Ade will know, he has a magic memory.

    Once I learn his name, I will start the 'Justice For XXXX' campaign.

    No.

    It was not about a slight disagreement, and it was not about which CPU was faster, either.

    Nor was the decision mine. It was discussed by the Admin team. I admit I referred it to them, but I left it to them, because I was too close to it. The decision, ultimately, was taken by the team and then endorsed by David, and the final decision was not for disagreeing with anybody.

    So far as I'm concerned, it's history and stays that way.

    Ade does know, because of his ridiculous memory, but is staying firmly out of this.
    No campaign for you Vaul

    Not really.

    It's just that policy is not to discuss bans.

    If Stewart, or anyone else, wants to raise this one, I'd suggest doing so with an Admin (except me) or with David, by mail or PM. But this thread, or GD for that matter, isn't the place for it.

    You can prove anything with facts, Phil.

    Nor was the decision mine. It was discussed by the Admin team. I admit I referred it to them, but I left it to them, because I was too close to it.
    You were too close to it Phil. It got bigger than either of you could handle. Like a crocodile, that grew into a much larger crocodile, that neither of you could handle.

    So far as I'm concerned, it's history and stays that way.
    Unless someone brings it up, you're right!

    If Stewart, or anyone else, wants to raise this one, I'd suggest doing so with an Admin
    The Admins you are in cahoots with?! Yes, I said CAHOOTS!

    If you want the name....PM me.

    I'll want ten good reasons for why you should start a campaign. If they're funny enough I'll talk it through with the admin's that I'm in cahoots with and then we'll see.

    But I WAS one of the Admins who firmly agreed with poor old....../delete name, being banned, when poor old Saracen and he crossed swords, and then it got personal. Nowt to do with cpu's by the end of it. And as with many a thing, unless you know what went on behind closed doors, you can't judge it.

    However....I know we did right, and not cos Sara and I were in cahoots with other admins.

    However, the chap in question was really very highly rated by many forum members, including I think Saracen, until that episode.
