I'd like to see an explanation of why Banbert has been banned from POTN.

His side of the story is here:

Would a mod care to comment please? If nothing else, it might help the rest of us avoid the same fate.

It might also restore some confidence in POTN's moderators.

While we are not at liberty to discuss the details of this occurance, it was at banbert's request.

Given Banbert's high standing here and the complete lack of evidence of wrongdoing, there may well be a mutiny if this isn't addressed.

Not that I'm optimistic about getting an explanation either ;-)a

Still ...

Apologies, it wasn't meant to be a threat, just an observation based on other responses to the ban.

Thanks again for responding. I guess this is as much as we can expect to hear on the matter, eh?

There is nothing else. He made a request and one of us Mods honored it.
