I'm sorry, but my personal opinion is that if the ex-member was allowed to return, he would indeed start being more aggressive and perhaps even start using offensive language, in which case, he'd be banned again. Until the individual who took the decision to remove the member has been told otherwise, the ban stands.
Can we all get back to discussing NYR on this thread, and if need be, continue this on the members site discussion thread?
