I agree that the comination of the arrival of BE and the rising tensions about tomorrows elections have everybody a little more sensitive than usual.
It's situations like this where I believe it is even more important than usual to remain civil. Given the number of positive reactions I've gotten from people I'm under the impression that what I've been doing is the right thing.
I've had a brief e-mail exchange with Vicious and he holds no ill will towards us and he did know that he was going to get banned for his post. Personally, I think he would have respected me a bit less if I hadn't banned him because then I would have been showing favouritism with the rules.
Either way, the election is nearly upon us and BE's ban still lasts for a little while longer. He may prove to be less than brilliant and earn himself a longer ban upon return. Only time will tell...
