Question is, does he WANT to??? I think yes just because hes a great wind up merchant and there are lots of folk here that seem to just love jumping onto his bait!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I refuse to be bound by the outcome of this poll. The rules arent made for me, they are made for others who arent as clever or witty as me, so I can get away with what I want. Of course that means that you cant, or there would be no differentiators between me and the great unwashed. So I am unfettered by the niceties and I can say what I like and make rude noises for my own delectation. I own the freehold on the internet and you cant stop my free speech or I will just talk louder, put my fingers in my ears and chant la lal lal la until you get really angry which is when I turn coy and tell you that I dont mean it really which I dont, today. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif etc etc
I for one thought he was a pompus t%at at times, funny others, he thought he know more than he did, but I for one think that people that break into our boats get less of a sentance.....
58% for, not as many as I thought but enough ?
Do we want an interesting forum or a forum where the moderators don't have to do anything ?

No offence guys. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
If the poll had been limited to just those forumites who lived thru the whole G1/H1/GC1/Lou1971 saga, it would have been nowhere near 58%. That figure is inflated by new forumites who voted for his reinstatement but they don't know his real forum persona. Anyway, it's a waste of time discussing it because he clearly broke forum regulations concerning multiple ISP's on a number of occasions and that's a red card from the moderators
Perhaps that is the point. Us new guys would like the chance to judge for ourselves rather than be guided buy others like a bunch of kids. I don't doubt that you "elders" are quite right, & if he cocks up again then off he goes, but life really is to short, believe me I know.
Only ever knew him as GC1 and for a long time I got on fine with him but if he did get back on here he would probably have ME on ignore /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Strangely enough I voted for his return /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif although it's apparently out of the question but I just prefer to leave the past behind and I wish he would too
He hasn't been in touch since my last e.mail so I upset him bigtime /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
If I were the moderator and a ban was to be imposed, I would ban for a specific time (one or three months) and if a further ban is required then double it (2 or 6 months) and and keep repeating the exercise by doubling the ban every time. Similar to the Security Code on a car radio, whereby you are banned from re-trying to enter the security code for a minute then two minutes, then 4 minutes etc.
