request to pardon Daniel

[Cobie]

Dear admods. Yes I agree, he was banned for very good reasons. But could there maybe be special dispensation please?  I did enjoy some of his posts and miss his input. 
 

 

@liminal_luke  misses him too

I don't know what his transgressions were as I didn't much follow his posts, but I remember he was being goaded...  maybe it's an extenuating factor?  (Maybe not -- like I said, I haven't seen the bulk of the interactions, but that was my impression from what little I've seen.)

Well ... if a bunch of people can be pardoned for trying to overthrow US democracy from within   ....... why not ?

Some people run hot.  Let´s say there´s a debate that runs on for more than ten pages.  Frustrations start to flare a bit, things get a tad antagonistic, somebody alerts the mods.  A cool down warning is issued.  Spectators in the know gather their popcorn because things have reached a critical state and what happens next will determine everything.  Daniel is obviously a very intelligent guy, amazingly knowledgable about a few subjects, but cooling down is not in his repetoire -- and so he got the boot.  This is my take on what happened.

 

Do I miss him?  I do.  Ditto for Shadow_Self, another wonderful Bum prone to overheating.  I can´t say -- won´t say --- that the mods made the wrong decision in either of these cases; I think they debated in good faith, followed their guidelines, took the actions they felt best served the board.  But I had good relationships with both of these Bums and know that they´re good-hearted people who had something to contribute to conversation here.  Alas, when the moment came to let go they couldn´t do it.

So you don´t think Shadow_Self is a wonderful Bum?

 

 

[Nungali]

It may be 'wonderful' .... I was just surprised you knew about the  'overheated'  bit .  

 

 

I suppose if the problem persists , his tail could be removed   ?

You´re surprised I know that Shadow_Self can overheat?  I have many faults and deficiencies.  I eat too many donuts and have never been able to do a pullup,; I won´t be any help if our car breaks down on the highway.  But one thing I can do is read.
