Personally, I think SteveC should be allowed back.

We're all adults on this forum. IMO, by banning him the moderators went too far. I think we should be allowed to make up our own minds as to what we read and what we ignore. This isn't China...

I was going to actually spend the $20 on a membership a few days ago, but when I found out that Steve had been banned, I put my credit card back in my wallet. Not because I'm a SteveC fanboi, but because I don't like being told what I can and can't say.

Are SteveC and WRS2K the same person, by the way?
Ha! I've wondered the same thing for many years.

I disagreed with Steve C about as often as I agreed with him but I think this board is worse off without him.


Thing is, Steve is like a part of this forum. It can go on well without him, but IMO it's better to have too many posts than not enough.

Half the stuff he posts I could care less about, but most probably feel the same about half the stuff I post. But take away content and you have a lesser forum.

Now I don't know why he was banned, but I think he should tone down his poison pen at times b/c he is not the king of all car knowledge.

I agree with everyone who says it may be over the top to ban him, or opinions to that effect. But what I don't get is how is the board worse off without him, or better with him? Other than the entertainment factor that is.

You make it sound like the S2ki.com forum is the only forum with "rules of engagement" or terms for behavior. Just about every forum have terms you have to agree to before registering, whether you payed or not.
