Unhappy CarneVaca is banned permanently

Please get the facts out in the open. I know the guy himself wouldn't mind if the board reveals what he's done wrong. It's nothing to be proud of, but please let us see things in perspective....

Kut indeed. And perkele even. You can not sweep this under the carpet that easily.

yeah, i want answers too.
unless a reasonably convincing explenation is provided, i'll have to see this banning as an undemocratic act, and a very coward one i might add.
i respect everyone who maintains and deals with these boards, so please, don't shatter my faith like that, make it a highly-convincing one.
thanks.

What the hell did he say wrong? That's what I wanna know.

I didn't always agree with him and I found some of his posts rude, but come on. Banning him is ridiculous.

While I do think there needs to be limits placed on how far we're allowed to go here, and, some of his posts were over the top anger wise, aren't we all some form of internet family here? Look at the outpouring of support for him here.
Like it or not, moderaters, he's one of us. I think you mods might be losing your credibility by this heartless decision.
Please show some heart, and rescind his banning.

Can someone please explain what warranted The Ledge losing one of its most interesting members??

I'm not going to do this (because I don't know anything regarding the circumstances under which he has been banned), but if I started a poll saying "Should CarneVaca be allowed back on The Ledge" I am sure that the high majority of Ledgies would say YES.

Add me to the list of those who want Carne back. I disagreed with him a lot, but he is part of what makes the Ledge the Ledge.
Bring back CarneVaca!

I COULD, BUT I THINK IT'S UP TO THE MODERATORS and Marty to explain their verdict.

The guy has pushed it too far, and did some things that don't deserve the beautyprize, but I think it's ridiculous to ban someone who uses the edges of the virtual reality. We're part of it. But someone who is so interesting in the debate and in his love for the music we are talking about deserves a lot of credit. I wrote a PM to Marty and all Moderators about ten days ago asking for "seeing things in perspective" and the answer was that they took it in consideration. My question is: In what sense was my pleed taken in consideration?

I've been a very good mannered boy in this case and have bitten my tongue off for almost two weeks now. But I'm on the edge of letting loose what I know before the board can give answers.

I haven't been browsing much through other threads but a couple of Survivor games in the last ten days (too busy working) so I've just read about the Carne situation. I don't know what he has done or said but I hope in moderators' noble-mindedness

It's not my place to say, but I think he was banned for pretty ridiculous reasons, IMO.

He needs to be allowed to come back to the board, it is not the same without him and, as you all can see, no one wants him to leave the board other than the moderators who decided to ban him. Bring Carne back!

What were those reasons? I can't understand why everyone is being so coy.
