Now I really miss that facepalm emoticon.

Every New Zealander I've discussed it with loved the French haka response. So please don't blame us for this one guys.

The silent majority would appear to be in favour of the Mods response. I am.

Are you against TGG's exclusion or just the process? He was mad as a box of frogs with a touch of racism thrown in!

Not knowing what he did/said i cannot comment on his exclusion but i do have issues with the process

I was never on the receiving end of anything too bad from TGG. He knew his subject and whilst yes i am sure he was a complete pain at times the pros definitely outweighed the cons, he kept us all on our toes. Problem today is that 'characters' are frwoned on and there are far too many rules and people with a bit of mod power lauding it about

It doesn't really matter whether we miss TGG or want him back does it?

He has been banned, he is not coming back because we want him to and the mod's decision is final.

Even if the process used are criticised it won't help, and of course we don't really know what the process was do we?

When a fellow poster is being warned, reprimanded or even temporarily banned we are not informed about what the process was as the "transgressor" is the only one being PM'ed.

I would suggest we continue on our merry way as there is nothing but frustration building up over something we hardly have any control over.
