Very Positive. Ties with Hamilton's banning for the most positive development on the forum in 2010.

Utterly pointless. The only reason he was banned was because the entirety of the left decided to whine and moan instead of ignoring his blatant trolling. As yes - it was almost entirely the left.

Isn't blatant trolling little against TOS?

For those that don't like the banning, may I suggest a boycott of the message board?  That'll teach us!

Very positive.

And what's all this 'lefty' nonsense; Dave made it clear it had nothing to do with his political views but his manner and his trolling

Could not care less. I've pretty much been ignoring him for awhile. I won't miss him.

Positive, only because it was not done sooner and more of them weren't banned along with him!

My opinion of the Atlas moderation system has considerably improved after that.

Negative.

I will say that personally I don't have the best history with Libertas.  However, unlike Hamilton, HoffmanJohn and a few others who have been banned he didn't really do any direct harm to the forum.  Sure he might've been an abrasive poster but at least he didn't flood the boards with tons of random threads (a la Roach), OBSESS over one person or ideology to the point of flooding the boards (HoffmanJohn), or treat people like utter pawns in their quest for total control over an election based sim (Hamilton).  I mean you people have heard of the ignore button, right?  Can't people who read this site also use that button?  Can most people who read this sight also be able to tell that a majority of us don't believe some of the crazier positions of Libertas or use civil debate?
I have to disagree somewhat with some on here who say that this was a leftist plot to get Libertas banned.  I mean after all this is the same forum that banned HoffmanJohn, a stereotypical Dailykos leftist, in a fraction of the time than it took them to ban Libertas.  However as annoying or rude as Libertas may have been, he was at least entertaining to read.  Not to mention his work in the Atlasian Senate.
Now if he had done something like post free autofellatio porn in the Forum Community thread, then yeah I would say that a banning would've been justified.
That isn't to say, however, that he really endeared himself to the forum moderators.  You are a biased lot, THERE I SAID IT.  However, for I would at least maintain a modicum of civility with them to ensure my future survival.

Rant over.

Actually, opebo, I think Dave generally feels the same way which is why so few make it to ban-land, and those who do make it took an almost deliberate path to it.

Positive.

The only banning on this forum that I opposed with conviction was Einzige's.

Positive.

Anyone who answers with anything "very" is an idiot.

Dave is not a NAZI, nor is Libertas.

The anti-Semite Libertas was much closer to one.
