Seems to be more peolpe supporting Maxx than not, i only really hear 1 voice trying to keep him down.

Campaigning for votes through PMs hey Phat Kat?

I still don't understand the purpose of this thread, nor the other one.

There are some pretty indesputable facts at play here:
** When we sign up here, we agree to abide by the forum rules at all times
** Maxx decided to abide by some of those rules some of the time, and in direct contravention of them most of the time
** The moderators are charged with taking care of this place and have the power to delete posts and threads at their discretion - we agree to this when we sign up
** After years of picking fights, insulting other members, acting to inflame other members spamming threads and multiple warnings and temporary bans, max forced the moderators hand and they banned him permanently.
** Ausmini is not a democracy. We don't vote in moderators or vote on whether or not banned members should come back.

You could probably also assume that at this point the actions of the moderators have the support of Scott, the forum owner. I wonder if all this bullshlt would still be going on if Scott was still a regular poster here?

PK, you commented in your PM to me that your only concern is that Max was banned and others who you deem to be troublemakers haven't.
It's my contention that we shouldn't be allowing all the trash and crap and trouble makers and w4nkers back to run the forum into the ground - the place is better off without them. Encourage our moderators to keep the place clean and enjoyable and support them in improving the forum - don't try to cut their legs out from underneath them because you don't like the decision that was made (and one that doesn't directly affect you).

I said it somewhere else, but I'll say it again - if Max has an issue and fails to understand the consequences of his actions, he shoudln't be writing sob story letters to the forum trying to make excuses for his behaviour, he should be making contact with the moderators and Scott and pleading his case to them.

That letter was only written and published as emotional blackmail to those who banned him. Using any kind of disability as an excuse for flying off the handle is pathetic and weak, no matter how genuine the disability. Sure the guy hasn't had an easy life, but then no one has, right? Not everyone feels the need to tell the entire bank of forum users about their personal life, and i'm sure that there are a lot of things that people don't know about a lot of forum users.
Blaming what he did on a disability and a drug problem just go to show that Max still hasn't taken responsibility for his actions.
Do we want people here who can't control themselves and them blame their inability to behave like a normal human being on something else?

Dany mate you need to pull ya head in. He admitted he did wrong and took responsibility for it. You really have no idea about people with disabilities. They often act now and then think later. What they do seems right there and then and then they realise "oh maybe i shouldna done that" and then others cant help the way they respond to certain situations.

You have no idea. I as a school teacher have worked with kids with disabilites and problems, and when they swear at me sure its not appropriate, but do i blame them? sometimes yes but other times no, its that they cant help it, its there automatic response. If somebody annoys them and theen they respond harshly - do i blame the kid? no, they were provoked and part of their disability is is this.

Maxx has realised what he did wrong and has apoligised and gave an explanation (which was not necessary) as to help us understand as to why he gets agitated sometimes and responds the way he does. He wasnt blaming the situation but rather giving information of contributory factors

Now Pull ya head in because your comments arent needed

I was polite, courteous, and honest with you Danny, so what the hell is your problem?

The thing, he DIDN'T apologise until he was banned.
