I don't like the ban either because outside of random people who just show up out of the blue and start pissing people off, I don't like when the core group gets dwindled. I don't like tdub, and he got under my skin, but if we shut all those people out of our lives, who keeps us grounded? Plus he had some good one liners here and there.
But it wasn't like he got banned for flaming. He made his bed and now he's gotta lay in it. It sucks, but hey, a bet's a bet, as you'd definitely attest to, Proud Virgin.
