Do you think he was happy in the AA only?
To me it is more demeaning to be placed in the AA. It is like Sitting at the kids table having to Comment on the adult tables topic to the kids hoping an adult would walk by and comment back. That is not existence.
Punishment for collective actions was perminant AA. But in the last week I had request from 2 colts fans, racehorse and will mcd, to release middy. Middy had recently asked for his release and the answer was no. So a thread is made to get middy released. I am not playing this game. The only fair thing was to ban middy, not keep him locked in the basement without the ability to post because he didn't want to be just in the AA. If I didn't next week would have been a couple other people, unfamiliar with the history, asking.
And yes I have been directly informed of people who left for a singular reason.
