You're kinder than I am Alia. There is a history on this forum and I have been here through most of it. While none of us have been perfect, there has been an ongoing taking for granted of Russ' position on here for a long time. False accusations, slander and words being put in mouths began to be the norm on this forum and I think there were a couple of warnings at one stage, but that was it. If you read through the posts, you ought to see how they have spoken to the owner a number of times with contempt and at times near mockery. A total lack of respect that was ongoing. Baiting him.

Russ has been very patient with them for a very long time and perhaps he's decided to finally crackdown and start getting tougher. Anger and lashing out is one thing, being sarcastic is one thing, but when you treat the owner, his mental state and his forums with contempt and mockery there is usually an immediate ban (well on most forums I know of). I do not know of any owner that would have tolerated this and for so long.

If Russ decides to "unban", then that's up to him and up to him whom he would do this for.

Number wise it's been unbalanced most of the way. Usually it's either CTD arguing on his own or Russ against 3-4 or more evos at once. I'd like to see things even up a bit more to be honest. I wish another creationist or two would join up, but it seems only evolutionists get wind of the forum and come on over.
