Come on... Estel was banned for a good reason.

It's alright to ask why he was banned, and it's good to question the reasons. But accusing "the powers that be" of corruption and such without knowledge is very poor taste. At least question first and wait for the answers before throwing accusations.

I followed the discussions at the time and frankly I was amazed that he wasn't banned a long time before it eventually happen... and I'm glad we have that tolerant moderators.
