bitter won.

since he won, bruiser would normally be banned. neither of us are going to enforce the ban, though, so the result is that everybody got their contest, bitter cleared his name, and we haven't lost either poster.

the likely reason that bruiser did this to begin with is that he doesn't care about posting on 2+2 any more. the survivor ban will go explicitly unenforced. he knows he is still welcome here, and i have PMd him to let him know. many others obviously want him to stay as well. if he goes now, it is because he wants to.
