Santa, one thing stood out in your reply:
Who am I to judge them on the way they express themselves, unless it is grossly out of place, just trash or childish talk?
You are not one to judge, but one to observe. You know as well as I do that I never asked anyone in JG2 to refrain themselves. I tried to lead my example. Sure, I let the egos ride, that's part of the game, but *If I was CO* with Nath, I would have tried to reason with him and let his mouth do the complaining on the BBS, email to HTC, or other methods to vent. I'm sure you did too. As far as Nath's comments to HT that day, they were all the above...
"grossly out of place, just trash or childish talk"I like to think as a CO as one that leads by example. Everyone has a right to freedom of speech, and freedom to express ones self. But there IS a time when that line is crossed, and its up to the CO to draw the line, and talk to individuals about the consequences there within, such as pushing it so far as to get ejected.
One side note: in the 12 years I've been online, I've seen many "Nath's" get booted, many for less than what Nath said and did. Is he the first to be ejected? Nope. Will he be the last? Nope. Nath is just another user that crossed over that line a wee bit far, in a line of others that have done so in the 12 years I've been online.
