Banned a trustee?

I don't remember his exact wording and can't refer to it as it's no longer available. That said, all I recall was him asking for were his posts to be deleted, followed by him bidding us goodbye. I wouldn't equate that to asking to be banned.

Why would someone ask to be banned? Seems illogical to me, you don't need to be banned to cease visiting a site - you simply don't go there any more.

...right now Stan.


Take it for what you will. I have always been a supporter of yours, I voted for you at least twice, but you have gone completely off the reservation. The only thing we have to judge you by at this point is how you are appearing now. Like so many other things in life, we are remembered not for the body of good that we have done, but for the last acts we have committed. Stan, you really need to step back from this. You are too close, and it looks very bad.

Because he is a voting board member, his ID needs to be preserved should he desire to vote. I did not select, nor request, the "ban" option.

What are *YOU* talking about?
Read the posts..
I did not take this action.
I did not direct this action.
This was not my doing.

Good grief, folks. Seriously?! It was my choice to "ban" Malcolm. That said, he is hardly banned. If he wishes to return, he will be allowed as he left the forums at his own will. Not sure why everyone is so concerned but I asked Malcolm privately if he wanted his posts removed. His simple response, "Yes." I performed a "soft delete" to most of his posts and chose to "ban" his ID as opposed to delete it so that his account would be able to be restored in the future, if he wishes to contribute.

Just so everyone is clear, Malcolm deleted his own nomination thread. Not my action.
