If 3-4 guys with an agenda decide to ban/kill someone that is pointing to their flaws, this should be overturnable by actual sponsors. Sadly it is not democratic (this is actually a plus) nor meritocratic (minus here), but better than politics/mods/gods...

So tell me. Have you ever had someone come in to a room when you were arguing a point you strongly believed in? Someone unfamiliar with what was happening right now, but who "knew" the other person involved a long while ago, and took their side because they knew them?

That's what just happened here.

In the time you've been away, you missed some pretty major things. If you review what happened, I think you'll find I'm not someone trying to "rule" anything. At the same time, I'm not the type to put up with others spreading FUD and lies, and get fed up with people harping on the same issues when they've been hashed, re-hashed, proven to be FUD, and rehashed again.

Believe what you want, that's your right. My only advice to you is be watchful, especially if you consider Estel to be a "hero" of the community. I think you'll find his status in the community is not what it was before, for very valid reasons.

Regardless. Welcome back.
