Eddy the Very Great

I was involved in an ST vs SW thread earlier on nationstates, and Eddy is a member of that site. He seems to regret what he did to get banned, and I was wondering if he could be allowed back on a probation type thing, to see if he could get along this time. What do you guys think?

He was the one who said that the GE could defeat the Culture, right? What got him banned?

I dont know about the Culture remark, but the thing that got him banned according to him was a flamewar about religion.

Wasn't he that guy that thought a Jedi's precog could save him from the Culture? I know there was somebody like that. Anyways, all Eddy ever did was make post after post crying like a wounded innocent: "Why are you being mean to me?" and other such bullshit.

He was banned primarily for putting out of context quotes in his sig, which showed him to be an actual troll and not just a moron.

This is not a request; it is a fact. This thread is now locked and I have put you in for an IP ban, you worthless piece of scum.

Well, as I said, he does regret his actions, and as I suggested, we could put him on a probation type deal, with a VI title and all.

I say give him a chance. He seems willing from what limited information I have. Though tell him he is on probation and that if he screws up again, he's gone for good (or just a REALLY long time).

No second chances on bans

Sorry, what he did was both wrong and fucking stupid. Nope. Actions have consequences.

I did some more talking with him on nationstates, apparently hes changed his views on homosexuality, and has become more moderate about religion.


EDIT: Heres what he said
1. I don't think Harry Potter is evil.
2. I am actually for gay-rights.
3. I debated racists on their own ground twice.

I don't believe that people do a simple about-face on things like that.

More likely he's saying what people want to hear.

I don't believe this.

Though since I was one of the targets (and the one that campaigned for his banning) I'm a little biased.

And as an admin I'll be staying well away from this issue.

No. I remember him, and I doubt he has changed.

Do you people think he'd be stupid enough to make the same mistakes again?

Meh, I don't really see why it would be up to us. If he really wants back, have him petition Mike or on of many supermods and/or admin.

Except me, because I won't let him back.

Well, how many other banned people have expressed an interest in coming back in the past, and how many of them were allowed re-entry?

None have expressed interest, or there have been some who've wanted to, but none were allowed?

If it's the latter, then we already have our answer. No.

It's a freaky Av, now every post I read of Dalton's is gonna seem like he's mad, or scared shitless...

anyway, on-topic, I voted for Probation. Give the guy a chance, if he does something else, re-ban him and leave it like that.
