Good Afternoon DISCHINO.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention for our consideration. I am pretty sure there are a lot of questions as to what led to the banning of fastfoot but I am pretty sure everyone has a shade to this story so I will spare a long winded response and get straight to providing a response.
Free speech is a basic human right - but so is civility and understanding.
By expressing an opinion in a libelous or offensive manner is in desecration of the afformentioned value.
Now if you have a dissenting opinion or your trail of thought goes way outside consensus you can feel free and express it.
However in spite multiple documented warnings, fastfoot had continued posting comments and messages which I found, and I am being lenient here, vile.
I am very well aware that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that is very highly regarded; what I cannot understand or tolerate is somebody choosing their own "facts" or acting outright childish.
I also recognize that it is often very difficult to prove a negative — that something perceived to be true is not, or that you did not do something for the reasons or motivations suggested by someone else (the majority). In my experience, naked denials, in contrast to unsubstantiated claims, often fall on deaf ears and lazy minds.
Given the numbers factor however I think it's as clear as day that I need to give reinstatement a thought. I will post a message here when everything is taken into consideration.
In the interim I wish everyone a pleasant Thanks Giving Weekend. Enjoy your dinners.
Kind Regards,
