Edit: Should Mr.Snipes be Deleted? (for the poll)

[Alexander]

Well, I for one, admire the GMs on this issue. I admire them, for having the patience to put up with him as long as they have. Quite honestly, if I was a GM, I think my finger would have been a little too itchy to hit a ban button or something.

From the first I can remember seeing him around, he's always been a little bit of trouble. =o\ It's not just a matter of him being rude...but he's also harassed people on the server. Having a different attitude isn't the same as raining on everyone else's parade.

Can everyone change? Yeah, sure. Everyone has that capability. But will everyone DO so? No. Some people never change. ::shrugs::

To be honest, I'm very tempted to vote yes on this. Not because of the aptly named "lynchmob"...just my own personal views. I don't quite think he's going to change, and I only forsee this continuing and things getting worse. Cussing everyone out, throwing out serious accusations wildly, harassing people in PMs(from what I heard, could be untrue I suppose), flaming on the forums...it's a lot of negative hostility. The GMs have been firm about keeping this a friendly and peaceful environment. I recall reading about them rather having a quality community then a quantity one. I really respect and admire that, and couldn't agree more. I'd rather it be a small server of nice people then a big one of jerks.

Much as I'm itching to hit that yes button though, I won't. In fact, I won't vote at all. I don't think it would turn out any differently then as it has been...but at the same time..if he were to apologize and make an honest effort...well, then I do agree with you guys about another chance. It is a harsh punishment afterall. But It's kind of hard to judge on what to do on this one. He's been warned many times before, but only kept crossing the line. I would say ban him for a few weeks and see if he gets the message and give him a warning with it...but the GMs have already been pretty leniant. I was there for one after WoE when he flipped out at everyone.....

Final stance though - neutral. Just throwing in some perspective.
