Look, it's nice that people are sticking up for Deth and you'll note that I've done similar, if a little less loudly.

HOWEVER, this implosion of comm chat in his name isn't doing any good. All that's happening is polarisation by forcing people to defend their motivations for behaviour perceived to either be for or against him. This has the effect of creating a line in the sand which people are now standing either side of, where before things were more ambiguous.

As the man himself said, the people he cares about can still be found on facebook and Steam. Let those who like him lament his loss from the forums and those who don't deal with the fact that the forums won't be magically better in his absence.

I always thought laffy was someones altnick for trolling purposes.
Faetal should change his title from verbose douchebag to voice of reason, cos he's has been making real good sense of late.

I wonder what's the reason for LT to still linger in these forums, even though he seems to have alot dislike towards it...

Anyways, I find these threads about Deths quitting very amusing :cheeky:

Generally rule of thumb: if ONE person has a problem with ALMOST EVERYBODY ELSE, the fault (if any) is more likely to lie with the one person.
Even if it's simply a 'clash of personalities', the very fact that one person continues to persist in clashing with virtually everyone else when all the evidence suggests that this will turn out the exact same way its turned out every time before...does not really paint a good picture of that one person.

As for "disproportionate banning", if a person walks into a room and flings shit at literally everybody, and some of those people then fling shit back, the fastest way to resolve the issue to the maximum satisfaction of the maximum number of parties is...to get rid of the universal shit-flinger. This is basically how moderation works, usually. It's not about post-disaster shit-management, it's working out how to best minimise shit-flinging overall. If a cohesive community has one disruptive element, then yes: that disruptive element will probably feel singled out, but they've earned that.

Really, the fact that you seem to share so many character aspects (and seem to feel so much solidarity with his position) reinforces this interpretation. Everyone else seems to get along more or less fine: TTLG isn't the problem here.
