I do disagree, and quite strongly too. And I have been undermined--the intention of the ban was to demonstrate to Andrew that his behavior will result in disciplinary action, and you have now wholly devalued the intended effect of the ban.

If you had been online or present, I would have consulted with you. Looking back, I should have sent you a personal message explaining my decision. But Andrew's poor attitude was an immediate problem which needed an immediate solution. Your going behind my back and directly coutneracting my judgement is considerably less justifiable, since there was no emergency for your action to cover.

Andrew was not banned for his participation in the argument. He was banned for refusing to drop the argument and continuing rants and passive aggressive behavior on chat and his blog. If TTL had behaved the same way after my warning, he would have been banned too. The ruling was not unfair because both users would have received the same punishment for the same crime. Andrew brought his ban upon himself.

In any case, Turtle, Andrew's 3 day ban was an extremely minor punishment, and he should have been made to wait it out rather than receive a demonstration of Whoniverse Fanon's historical unwillingness to let disciplinary measurs stick.

We could have talked it over. If you had met me on Chat and argued to let MC13 back on, I quite probably would have relented. But you directly counteracted a judgement without consulting me, letting me know only after you undermined my action.
