Which I have tried to do, not by poking him with my pitchfork and yelling a lot, but by talking to him about where he went over the line into unacceptable.
I'm not making excuses for anyone, but I am starting to think I should be making excuses for why in the hell some are taking JBK
not being banned as a personal affront. It really makes no sense; it's sandbox behavior.
And I'm the first person who will sling barbs at the deserving. It is my hunch that JBK is not deserving of that...do you think I have absolutely no clue at all about human behavior? Maybe if you yell at me enough, tell me how horrible I am, I can be coerced into the groupthink. But probably not.
