I almost voted yes then I reread the poll. No, I?m not happy that he got banned but he knew it was going to happen as soon as he conceived what he really wanted to say. His actions were purposeful and direct; there was no alternative but to ban him. Kudos to him for having the balls to do it anyways; way to take one for the team. I actually see BE as one of the main causes for recent rule changes. I think personal attacks had to of have risen sharply after he joined. The political threads deserve their fair share of the blame as they have seemingly become a breeding ground for hatred and offensiveness. I?ll be glad when both situations are permanently past tense.
