Opinion of Eharding

[Xing]

I think it's odd that he's such a flashpoint. At this point, the whole controversy around him reminds me of bottlegate. Regardless of whether his ban was justified, I think both his supporters and the mods are exacerbating the problem. His supporters by trying to make him some noble martyr and the mods by not clearly communicating the thinking behind their decisions, and the process by which they were made.

Pretty much this.
