Well I'll be a monkey's Uncle. I very, very rarely agreed with the guy, but damned if he didn't believe 100% of what he wrote. Think lots of the times he could be closed minded, but he also got into debates with other close minded people.

Definitely a weird guy, but I will give him props for sticking to his guns, whether wrong or right. Kind of strange to type this out, but I'll miss Izzy. That said, I'm sure he was given fair warning, and the mods did what they had to do.

Fair enough. The mods seem pretty solid here, so I trust he was banned for some serious infractions rather than just holding dissenting opinions.

I'll miss the guy too though. :?

Without a doubt. I know he's received several warnings in the past, but apparently sometime recently he went too far. He definitely posted several "your stupid view is stupid, and I'm always right" posts, but once in a while he made some pretty solid points, even if I disagreed with him.

I'm hoping for a cooling off period and maybe let Inazuma back in? Agree some posts were full of fire and rubbed some the wrong way, but have to admit an interesting read.

eh speak for yourselves. I'm looking forward to threads reaching a few more pages of real discussion before someone tears in with 'piracy is good and marriage is bad and kids should watch porn because I'm right and you're a stupid idiot for having a differing opinion'. The one or two times he made a valid point in no way outweighed the dozens of threads he ruined before that happened.

We already did.

I see and agree with what you are getting at though.

Don't know how you'd call this place 'nazi like'
There are lots of bans every day, just most of them are spam posters...

no. In fact 90% of those spammers are just me and DSH signing up and advertising fake stuff to make Hobie feel useful.
