I know you want to keep your cool kid card with the inner circle, but I don't think you can justify Hootie's ban to yourself on the basis of legitimate rules (as opposed to the moderator protection rules and short leash special rules that Phobia has come up with lately). If Hootie broke a legit rule, it's a secret and secret rules and mysterious, seemingly arbitrary bannings are no way to run a message board either, IMO.

Ahhhhh.
I was waiting to hear from the founding member of the BBCLU (bulletin board civil liberties union) known as the baby clue.
If Hootie spent half as much time doing the right thing as you do defending him there'd be no need for the yearly dog humping.
In short Hootie started it, Gonzo shot him down b/c he knew what would happen, it did, roll up a fattie and move on. Missing hootie is like missing that turd that gets stuck in your ass when your constipated. Sure it's presence is known, but it is annoying and you just wish the ****er'd drop.
