Wasn't meant to be. I was just answering your (sarcastic?) question.

In my round-about way of reasoning (which always pissed Boo Boo off) I was asking "what is our benefit, as a community, with him coming back?"

Voted yes. He's a nice guy. All the mods saying "it goes against policy" etc. need to remember this is the internet. This is called Music Banter, why isn't banter allowed? Loosen up, let him back, it'll be fun and if anything bad happens just reban him. Not like it takes very long.

None of the mods have said it goes against policy. The closest we've come is one mod saying that the decision wasn't undertaken lightly and that boo boo won't change.

Oh, I see. Well, that makes sense. I guess his coming back would benefit me though (as well as Tore who's a huge prog fanatic). :D

It was an example. Way to prove my point about people taking things too seriously.

James, I was against the initial banning of boo boo and I was wrong.
I was wrong because like all the other non mods we didn't have the full picture.
Take a look at the votes so far. 2 are from current mods and another 2 from previous mods, all who have had experience with boo boo on a moderator level.
I doubt you'll ever see a current mod, or an ex mod who has dealt with boo boo in the past vote for his return.
And with good reason.

Well thats just it. With all apologies to the 4 of you who post in there, the rest of us aren't up for enduring about tantrum about whether women should vote in elections of bake apple pie just so you can get a 5th perspective on whether or not Rick Wakeman was better than Edgar Winter.

I guess I can see that, but I still think he should be allowed back. What's the worse that could happen? Especially if you stress to him that he'll be permabanned on the spot.

I agree with James.
The reason? Why NOT?

Regarding the (multiple?) encounters with GuitarBizarre: Look at him. Does GB really seem torn up over anything boo boo said to him? He's GLOATING. I think letting them fight is......not a very big deal.

Y'all are taking this a bit too seriously. Boo boo's been gone for monthes and we're still talking about him so I'd say he's left an impact and judging by the poll I'd say that its a positive one.

EDIT: ahahahhahahaha, all the mods are voting against him.
