Never said she shouldnt be allowed back. Just said she wasn't a 'dwellar'. She wasn't here long enough and didn't engage enough beyond game playing to become a 'dwellar' in the way JB did. She didn't become a part of the community, nor was she interested in doing so - she was just a site member for a little while. Lots of people join the site - but you have to become a part of the community (imo) to be a dwellar in the 'once a dwellar always a dwellar' sense. If she came back then maybe she would. Like you say - people change. They grow up. I have no problem with giving her another chance if she were to show up here again.

Leave Sundae out of this. Not even remotely the same situation.

[eta] Actually I'll qualify that a little: anybody who joins could be considered a dwellar whilst they're posting here. But if someone joins and stays for a couple of weeks - makes a few posts and doesn't really make themselves a part of the community and then leaves then it doesn't seem appropriate to me to say 'once a dwellar always a dwellar'. But JB was a part of this community. No matter how annoying he occasionally was, he shared something of himself and made himself a part of the fabric of this place over several years.

Any one of us could go off the deep end and I'd expect at least a degree of forbearance from the rest - because that's been built up over time. But someone breezing in and breaking out the fruit loops straight off hasn't built the basis of that forbearance.

That said, there were very particular reasons why SE ended up being banned - as I recall there was some worrying stuff going on via PMs and the mods stepped in because of that - it wasn't just the being annoying that made that happen. If that's all that had been going on I doubt it would have resulted in bans and she might have chilled out over time.
