I personally cannot support any forum that bans for any reason but fancy free fun. So by all means, get started.
For the record, the
thread in question is free for anyone to read over on groucho.org. His account was not deleted nor disabled and no messages were deleted. The only users I've ever deleted has been those damn Russian advertising auto-created accounts, which I've now blocked via an image-verification mod. No accounts have ever been disabled, and the only messages that have ever been deleted have been redundant double-posts. Anyone who desires is welcome to view the referenced messages over at groucho.
Let the record show that, in the past, Chris left Jolt Country (twice, I think) and groucho.org once voluntarily on his own, claiming unfair abuse; in all cases coming back a while later. So it's fair to say that the relationship between Chris and JC as well as groucho has been a bit rocky over the years.
I have no regret over what I said when he left this time, as the board has been (while admittedly slightly quieter, but certainly far from dead) much more fun and the denizens feel more free to post whatever they want. You all are welcome to visit, of course, and I'm glad to see the re-appearance of Worm and the new visits of CO in the past week or so.
I don't plan on reading any responses to this thread to avoid "getting into it" all over again. Just wanted to point out the evidence; take it as you may, if you care.
