But see, you are still acting like it was this ONE event that got him banned. It
was not - I thought you understood this. Dan very clearly said that there were
problems in his past that factored into it. So he was not banned for this one
(in your opinion) minor violation, but this one was the one that pushed him too
far in the eyes of Dan.

to be problem members.
