Hey Catty maybe a thread where people can plead a case for Red, and you decide the outcome, would be fun.
Judge Catty, She's fair, she's honest, she's no nonsense, that has sense.

I liked red for his difference; he was a staple, yet disagreeing voice. I think he has a good intellect and his views were mostly reasonable, although, I disagreed with his belief. I tried to reach out to him because I think he was a caring person. His problem came about when he became too carried away with fighting with moderators and other TOL representatives. I PMed him to just drop it and let it pass, but he seemed to be on a [sic]confrontive mission. Perhaps he already decided to quite the forum and want to emote, I do not know, but it seemed to me that it would have been better to not get carried away with his emotions and just quit if he wanted to leave the forum. If I am not right, that being he wanted to stay a member, I think he should let the whole episode drop. You cannot get banned by not responding; that was his choice. I did like him in many ways and if he comes back I would welcome him.

BB has served out a full year banning. As for red, I didn't impose his banning, so I can't really address its length.
I heard that Red was banned for a whole year as well. Pretty stiff punishment if you ask me.
As much as I'd like to see him back, its probably doing him a lot of good being away. TOL can have a negative effect on some.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion -
I have shudder'd at it.
I shudder no more.
I could be martyr'd for my religion
Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you.

Bribes only work on the corrupt your honest so I wouldn't even try bribing you.
Agreed, cattyfan is a fair mod.

What are you talking about. It costs nothing to skip posts.
Wha?? Then what's up with this bill I keep getting??

Don't you know
That it ain't a crime
If all the squares
And the junkmen
Think you're out of line
