Eddie has made it clear these types of issues are made public so nobody can go on later telling their fairy tales about how they were banned for no reason.
Says it all!!! If you are in violation of the rules, and you want to stay part of this family, admit wrong doings and move on. From what I've seen, people will respect the wrong that you righted and forgive and forget!!
If you don't want to be a part of a great group of people, just leave! Simple...... Why do they have to be so thick?
