He was temp.banned, and then later, I think after I was allowed back the status changed to banned. . .
Oh, and today what made me happy: homecoming is this weekend. Should be interesting. _________________ "Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love." - Albert Einstein |

Comnum shouldn't be banned, all the others before had their posts deleted and/or accounts deleted. If that's the case perhaps signing in should restore Comnum to full status. Also if that’s the case, please ignore all the following.
But if that's not the case then WHAT?! How can Comnum be banned? What did he do wrong this time? ‘Get worked up about other members?’ ‘Didn’t respect moderator authority?’ What kind of accusation is that!? If that's the case, then I should be banned permanently You know, fuck it, I’ll ban myself until I see that Comnum has been reinstated as a forum member.
And I stand alongside Comnum when I say that I now really don’t care what you do with me. Ban me, demote me to village idiot, whatever. I’m not going to tolerate it when a fine man gets shafted because he showed a little of his humanity. He showed his opinion, and although resorting to crude insults wasn’t the best course of action, we have all at one point or another done it, on this forum, or on a different forum, or most likely in real life, and this one isolated attempt shouldn’t be enough to merit a ban. Koko shouldn’t have been banned as well, even temporarily, seeing as he didn’t do anything particularly wrong at all that other’s have done, including myself, and got away with.

I for one do not consider this forum to be tied exclusively with Alien Loves Predator, although indeed much of it relates to ALP, the ALP forum is more about people connected by their common love for ALP, and the establishment of conversation, friendship and fun through that common relation. This forum does, has, and will contain material from all over the range of human (and alien/predator) imagination, and it is really that range, and not the comic, that this forum is tied to. In light of this, I believe Comnum was in his rights to get ‘worked up about his fellow posters’, and although his bashings aren’t something to be proud of, he had the courtesy of keeping his worst off the public forums. In fact, I think he deserves a fucking medal for that, seeing as I can’t realistically imagine myself practicing that kind of restraint. And yes, it was restraint. Restraint isn’t about keeping things bottled up inside, it’s about letting it out in a controlled and directed manner, a skill I admit I really have to work on at times. Truly, I believe the bans were unnecessary..
So I say again, I’m refraining from all forum activity until I know that Comnum is alive and kicking, or at least is allowed to be in said state. If this results in my complete oblivion, so be it. I’m not coming back until I can see real common sense and justice here. If this post results in a ban from either Bernie or the mods, so be it, I didn’t want to frequent a forum without a sense of fairness in the first place.
So I’m now off, I hope this will be a very temporary vacation, but if it turns out otherwise, just know that I did enjoy my time on this forum, I wish you all well and the best of luck. I’m just a little surprised and disappointed that no one protested Comnum’s eradication, but I guess you either didn’t expect anything bad, or you were afraid of getting expelled yourselves, and in either case it’s completely understandable and I still wish the best for you.
If Comnum happens to rise from his grave, or if you really have a good reason for me to return from exile, please send a word at pyzek@hotmail.com (preferably via Windows/MSN/Windows Live Messenger).
Note that Simon_Says will be a public character in the RPG for as long as I remain inactive. Please don't make me look like a complete douchebag.
So now I bid adieu, S_S out. _________________

So... he may come back? Because it hurts the forum to have a regular poster banned.
But anyways. I'm pulling my ass out of the fire! And when I mean that, I mean I'm really improving my other grades!  _________________ Only the strongest will survive.

Quote everything Simon Said
Simon's going Gandhi on our asses. Personally I don't think ComNums could have been banned for the stuff he said to me because it was pretty funny and wasn't ban-worthy for sure. So what really caused this to happen?
congrats on the internet cfos, you are now part of the 3 in 100 on the planet who have internet and you are automatically richer than 75% of all the world (not intended to make you feel bad )
and for the sake of the forum Simon, please stay. _________________ "Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love." - Albert Einstein |

You mean we get rid of Simon too? Arrsome.
The abundance of internet drama has made me happy today. Here and in three other places. It's like a soap opera that I can understand. _________________ bitchez n hose |

It is also unnecesary drama, since you, Simon, have no idea what the man said in private correspondence with us, and you will not know this since it is... well, private (note, btw, that not respecting this aspect of private correspondence by Koko was among the things that got the whole thing started).
Both Koko and ComNum were banned for ignoring moderators telling them to stop a certain behaviour and doing so in quite an arrogant manner. I don't recall anybody else (apart from members of the teenage Norwegian boys invasion - and they got banned as well) ever doing so.
ComNum went a little farther with that and is therefore permanently banned. You're putting up quite a show, Simon, but I'm afraid it's a little misplaced. Also, I'm sure Blaster, me, or Bernie would have been happy to explain ourselves if you'd taken the effort of PM-ing us before going all j'accuse in public.
Finally, I think Bernie has the right to decide who is and who is not welcome on his forum. _________________ The Justified Ancient of Mu Mu |

Simon, I admire your sticking up for a comrade - you must be a good friend to have. But Munan said it all. I liked ComNum too, originally, but if you knew all the facts, you would've made the same decision I did.
And sorry, gotta move this to Utter B.S. (not to belittle your complaint, Simon, but it doesn't belong in the main forum, you understand) |

suddenly the forums got so serious and non-fun.
hell, i can't imagine what Complex must've said or done to you to trigger that kind of reaction. knowing your rather lighthearted approach to most of the rubbish that's happening around here, it must've been major league asshole.
i would swear you both, Munan and Bernie, seem disappointed yourselves that this had to happen.

Yes we are. Extremely. It was because of these kind of things that I opposed the idea of moderators when Simon first suggested it (read about it here). But it's unavoidable, maybe, sometimes, even in a fun forum like this one.
Also, I really hope Simon decides to come back. _________________ The Justified Ancient of Mu Mu |

Okay, I spoke wtih Munan earlier today and he explained that I wasn't aware of all the facts, i.e. that Comnum was an Ass-Be to Bernie, and so the ban was called for. Although I wish Comnum wasn't barred out, it wasn't an unjust execution and therefore my argument is invalid. I was rash, jumping to the conclusions and going over dramatic, and yes, Bernie is right saying that I would have made the same decision in his shoes.
So I hope we have all that sortened out. Munan, Bernie, if one of you could lock this thread...
Oh and Digit, sorry to have spoiled your day. _________________
