[private joker]

Hi Mason,

I realize that after private discussion between you and Dave, he'll be unbanned soon enough and this will blow over. I too would think a 2-day suspension is reasonable.

However, stephenNUTS later in the thread told Dave to "rot in HELL" and was not disciplined. Furthermore, several posters have taken to instructing others to "die in a grease fire," "I hope you get AIDS" and "please kill yourself."

Dave only expressed schadenfreuede at Hal busting out of the main event, and criticized Hal's nittiness and slow pace of play. Granted, the fact that Hal is blind makes the comment rather tasteless, but I don't think Dave's comment is even remotely close to the low point in the website's history.
