For Shame! Karoma should be issues by a warning by higher powers at least.

I think you may be misrepresenting the facts there good buddy.
Left out the little bit where we started mouthing off about how crap the mods are and telling the mod how to do his job on thread, didn't we? Didn't we? Who's a bold boy?
I forgive you.
Have some ice cream.

Leave Karoma alone, it's not easy being a boards friendliest moderator.

That sounds like the talk of a paying customer.

"I have paid so much money to your company, I demand blah blah blah.."

Its a private owned site. Their rules.

Now can i start posting lolcats?

I think Karoma handled the situation poorly. Clearly, he should've banned you and let the thread continue.

What kind of site are you guys running that you allow mods to impose McCarthy style solutions to problems?

What about all the little kids in Ireland who have you as a role model, Who love you, who'd love to see you back in After Hours and who are absolutely appalled that this row has taken place and don't know what to say?

Is there not a part of you that says 'forget about pride, what's more important is going out and doing the best for the forum.'

77: I've done that many a time, I've been doing it for years.

And are you prepared to do it again or is there no hope of that?

77: The ball's not on my side of the court, you know. The ball's not on my side of the court.

If you thought that they'd take you back.

77: That they'd take me back? What do you mean if they take me back?

Well, if they thought they'd love to have you in the forum, if Karoma was prepared to bury the hatchet with you, that he was prepared to apologise, to meet you half way, that the posters wanted to have you back, what would 77 do?

77: I really don't know, I really don't know. Cos I can't see it happening.

Say they were willing to do that, are you still open to that kind of generosity?

77: I don't know. We'd have to see. We really would. As I said, I would love to post **** threads in AH.

Because the forum would love to have you back.

77: I'd love to be back! But as I said, it's up to other people.

Are you willing to meet them half way?
