I agree with both of these statements.

As for this, I think some explanation of my reasoning is in order. Even if it's not, this is something I should get off my chest now anyways.
Typically, for games or forums or anything in general, three is the amount of chances someone gets before they lose, so to speak, hence one possible reason people say Deeman should be unbanned.
Here's the thing, though - he'd been doing it for a long time and got away with it for the most part. It doesn't just apply to him, either - Patrick was busy with other stuff and there weren't moderators, so the rules weren't really all that "enforced". I don't mean to be rude, but in my opinion, I'm still not to warm to the idea of letting him back in. I honestly don't recall a time where he hasn't acted like this.
Now, this might seem irrelevant, but hear me out. To start with; I'm naive. At least 6 times so far, one of my former friends on Skype (not anyone from here, mind you) has acted way out of line, and blamed it on either me or another friend and proclaiming there had to be something wrong with us. Six times. Only after the seventh did it finally get through my thick skull that he's not the kind of person I should associate myself with.
What I'm trying to say is that I forgive people far easier than I think I should. Even saying right now that I'm not comfortable with the idea of letting him back in is straining. While I might act like I know what I'm doing in this kind of situation - I
don't.
While anyone - including me - could say that something should be done about so-and-so due to a bad habit or something, the only way I can bring myself to do it is by being completely apathetic about it. Locking topics and deleting posts is an easy matter, because it's not as earth-shattering. Having a say in whether someone should be unbanned where everyone's opinions are counted... Not so much.
I know fully well what it's like to be shunned by people. It's a horrible feeling, and I have commit myself to doing everything in my power to prevent that from happening to anyone else. I know it probably sounds corny, but I'm serious. So long as I feel like it's unjust, then I
will speak up. On the other hoof, those same experiences have me dead set on making sure anyone who is stepping out of line like that gets the message to stop. If they won't, then despite how guilty I feel about it, something will have to be done.
In other words - despite how much I don't like saying it, I do believe that giving Deeman another chance will just end the same way as it has before. I do not mean to be rude, I am just stating my opinion.
