A vote for Olivious the Drummer to Return

Jeffrey · Killing The Dragon Joined: 30 Jan 2006 Posts: 324

I don't want to stir trouble, but I miss Olivious the Drummer being here since he was temporarily banned a few weeks ago.

He was a contributor and my fellow moderator here. With the
trouble here having died down, would you all like to see him back?

I don't know if the vote one way or not will effect his status here, but wanted to see what happens.

He misses being here, and misses Ronnie.

I want to see Oli back too. And Gary, and RockerBob. I guess the lack of votes (100% in Oli's favour) shows how quiet this place is without certain individuals and how much we need them.
I didn't vote or post in this thread earlier a). because I hoped that things would settle down in a few days, and b). because I can't be bothered to read any more posts about petty arguments. I'm already feeling as if I'm walking on eggshells and choosing words carefully in case someone reads one of my posts in the wrong tone of voice and over-reacts. Jeffrey's post sounds like he's the same - "I don't want to stir trouble but..."
Lets take the bull by the horns: Hey Mods! Are the banned guys coming back or not? A simple yes/no answer please, and no referring to earlier arguments by anyone. Adherence to forum rules, best behaviour, terms and conditions etc is implied.

If anyone wants to over-react to this simple question, me and Jeffrey will take you out to the car park and beat the crap out of you!

Rhonda,

Thank you for allowing my friend and fellow moderator to come back. I don't mean to speak for RockerRob and Holymagica/Gary, but I did not think that they wanted to come back, and therefore I didn't want to rehash arguments from the past.

As for Oli, I am glad that he is back, and thank all of you who helped me get him back here.

Jeffrey

At one time, I think I was close to being banned here, too. It is a slippery slope to speak your mind, share opinions, without being disrespectful to others sometimes.

I don't want people here to be afraid to post things that are on their minds for fear of being banned. As long as you are considerate to other people's feelings, continue to support the contributors here, all without being nasty, I welcome all.

I know things can get heated and we get carried away. So I believe everyone should get fair warning, and a second chance, if it comes to that.

While I did not get banned by the admin at the time, standing up for my thoughts helped to earn the respect of them and some of the members here, and I gained some very good friends too.
