Mitch was banned for a lot of things. First of all, after receiving numerous complaints from actual members, we took a closer look at what Mitch was doing on the board. All he was doing was creating problems in every threads on the board making this place unfriendly. Several members even posted they would not post anymore because of him, and i'm not mentioning the private messages i received and emails.
Why do you think we took the "edit" option down to 3 minutes? it's because Mitch would post hateful/aggressive comments and then changed them all once things were out of control. It's not like i didn't try. We warned him soooo many times. All we asked from him was to cool down a bit, that's all. Something he just didn't want do to.
I'm not speaking for Mark but i don't think we want to jeopardize the board because of one individual. I've been reading a lot of threads lately, when you guys argue, it's done in a civil manner. Not at one point, i saw you guys viciously argue with someone. When Mitch would argue, it was aggressive. I didn't make it up, read all his posts, well at least the ones he couldn't edit.
We love you guys and we just wanted to do what had to be done.
Yeah, mitch would spike his anti-black rhetoric with love and kisses to the guys who disagreed with him, but that didn't change the venom of his posts about race. Sometimes I felt he was caressing my face with one hand while punching me in the gut with the other. Like other charismatic sons of bitches I've known, he was also a lot of fun, but his fatal racist flaw stuck in my craw. Especially since I'd defended him so strongly when he was first accused of intolerance 2 months ago. I'm sure you guys would have liked to keep him for his good points, but I guess it's true, he was just asking to be banned.
