Lurked here for some time before I began to post during part of the season this year (and then just got too lazy). Anyway, I just noticed JML got banned recently. I never tailed him per se, but I did respect his write-ups and occasionally was talked out of a bad play on my part. So, at the risk of sounding like one of his "boyfriends," it was a little disappointing to see him get the boot from what I could piece together from his banning. I'll be the first to admit that there may be a lot more to the story than a pissing match between Stiff and him, but that's the way it reads to me from what's on the site currently.
During a good chunk of this season, it seemed like this place lacked from much good NFL talk (at least compared to prior years). Many of the discussion threads were anemic if not non-existent. In any event, I would think that the last thing that would be needed would be to cull the herd, particularly with a poster who actually had a track record of some success (whether it be secondary to skill or just dumb luck) and did tend to discuss things rather than just post picks.
Again, there may (and probably is) a lot more to the story than I know. I just hope that there is a good reason behind it, because the last thing I feel a forum like this needs is trigger-happy moderators banning people and locking threads left and right because of a past history of disagreements.
