   only because I think it is detrimental to punish any one that did not break any stated rules.

Here we get to un-easy ground. Who has broken rules and who has not is up for grabs - it is the Admin’s job to make that determination, and we have. I don’t believe that we need to justify our decisions to anyone except other Admins.

And yet isn’t that exactly what you have been trying to do these past few days?

I’ve been trying to help everyone understand. But you’re right - I shouldn’t have been doing that. I made the decision, with other Admins, and I am comfortable with it. As I have stated several times, I believe Chris broke the ToU, and whether you agree with me is immaterial.

Now that’s something different again. That means the ToU mean diddly squat, all that matters is the Admins’ interpretation of them. So even if I agree to the ToU, I can still be suspended on the grounds that I broke the ToU, if the Admins all agree that I did, even if they’re the only ones that see any violation.

I wish you guys would just admit Chris’ suspension was due to him breaking the *spirit* of the ToU, and be done with it. If people KNOW they can be suspended for that, then they have more information to make a meaningful decision. Continuing to cite rules which he obviously didn’t break is just confusing everyone.
