The thing is, you need to look at a broader picture as Cobblemaniac have said. Magic was not... very liked person here. In my opinion all hatred for him was unjustified, but I am not as serious about this game as some people here. Tbh I wouldn't ban him for reason like that, because it doesn't put this forum in favourable light, but I can somehow understand this decision.
Nevertheless, I'd like for people of this forum (and not really mods or admins, this is community) to think what they want it to be, because sure as hell it often doesn't look like discussion board, but circlejerk.
