Freed Marius and Opus
I am posting this thread in this area,as was here that these two were banned. If the moderators disagree about the appropriateness of it being here, then I will understand if they feel the need to relocate.
So, what is the consensus of the people? Shall we give these two miscreants a vote of support, despite our different perspectives? There seems to be an undercurrent of support out there.
Or do you agree that the penalty accurately reflects the crime?

Re: Free Marius and Opus
I'm with you muppets free the refuges
I have deactivated their accounts (marius and Opus) hopefully they should be able to resign in or re register
I have never done this before so hopefully it works

And it's true!

Hey jim

I have also tried to un ban them but seem to be having some difficulty I can only suggest they re register under another name

Re: Free Marius and Opus
I went back in..redeleted the accounts..just to make sure..since I dont know a way of "unbanning"...I then emailed them and apologised to both and invited them back in..since it was my fault for banning them in the first place..and it was obviously wrong of me for doing this.
My apologises to the board and all its members for my inappropriate actions.!

Re: Free Marius and Opus
Mike, thank you. It takes a real man to do what you did, and a lot of guts. Way to go. You continue to be held in high regard as far as I'm concerned.
Kind regards,

Re: Free Marius and Opus
Thankyou for redeleting? Opus and Marius' accounts
I am glad to see all of this resolved with the bannings.
It was the right thing to do by all.
It did seem like there were a few people who thought it was a bit rough and responded to it as such.
I was hoping that you didn't flip out and think that everyone was ganging up on you Mike or go AWOL or something like that because of the opinion of the people on these forums in regards to the bannings, as your input to the questions I need answered from these forums, have so far been of more benifit than you might think.

Mike,
Only just returned from a short outing. Thankyou for your apology. It is accepted in the sincere manner in which it was offered.

Hey aussietrev..
It did seem like there were a few people who thought it was a bit rough and responded to it as such.
Yes..well..the problem was..err..I was on the wrong 100% and the majority was in the right..
I was hoping that you didn't flip out and think that everyone was ganging up on you Mike or go AWOL or something like that because of the opinion of the people on these forums in regards to the bannings,
I was not a happy chappy, but, in all fairness it was all due to my own ineptitude.
I need answered from these forums, have so far been of more benifit than you might think.

I have amended the title of this thread to take into account recent developments.
Well played, all.
Thankyou players , thankyou ball boys. (and girls).
And a special shout out to Mike "Mia Culpa" Williams, for having the bottle to admit "100%" wrongness.
