Acin a senior member - really?

[caravel]

A guy who was directly responsible for losing one of the most valuable contributor to the .org, who did that with malice and intent, who is basically an attention slut, who had multiple accounts, numerous warnings, infractions and bans, shouldn't be elevated to Senior Member.

Well I don't think we can speculate on what caused Louis to leave as that was between Louis and the staff at the time. If Louis wants to come back, he can, if not, then he won't. Louis may have forgotten about it by now and have moved on to bigger and better things - it may be as simple as that. I can't imagine a fun loving fellow, with such a keen sense of humour wasting his time and energy wallowing...

As to the "fag" debate - that was a low point in this board's history, but there was blame on both sides. IMO it was a non issue, but you have to remember that the .org back then had tighter rules (sometimes pedantically enforced, other times laxly so) on political correctness, language, etc - thankfully those days are behind us. It was an issue involving a staff member and other staff, so should have been sorted out among the staff, instead it was public and messy and because only about half the debate was public, members were not seeing the full picture, but that's all water under the bridge.

I don't think this thread helps anyone - I have no opinion on ACIN becoming a senior. I remember years ago when he was one of a group of trollish types in the eb section, but that was a long time ago. I have no problem with the "slut" banter, but perhaps you should ask him directly why the "slut" banter is ok and why "fag" was not. Perhaps people are just human and inconsistent - or perhaps they change their ideas?
