I know you want to keep your cool kid card with the inner circle, but I don't think you can justify Hootie's ban to yourself on the basis of legitimate rules (as opposed to the moderator protection rules and short leash special rules that Phobia has come up with lately). If Hootie broke a legit rule, it's a secret and secret rules and mysterious, seemingly arbitrary bannings are no way to run a message board either, IMO.

JFC. How many times has Hootie been banned? Several. How many times have I been banned in the 13 years this board has been in operation? NOT ONCE. With all of these "changing rules" and "bi-polar mods with inferiority complexes" and I have never been banned. Infact, there is a whole lot of members that have never been banned. Which in no way jives with your perception.
Simple fact: people who are repeatedly banned on this board are treated with such actions because of THEMSELVES, not anyone else.
