The facts are simple.
1. WT was “suspended” for three days for using a term/phrase that is not a violation of site rules or Jeff Spicoli’s dream.
2. That phrase was, until only very recently, a regularly used jibe, and for older members of this site it is not considered a pejorative.
3. The suspension was arbitrarily enforced and was a gross abuse of power by TinyTitan.
4. To the best of knowledge no other member, particularly a frequent contributor, has ever been sanctioned in this manner.
5. WT was personally humiliated by the sanction and as such has decided his contributing and participation in this site is no longer worthwhile.
The above being true, the following remedies are proposed:
1. TinyTitan must publicly apologize for overstepping his bounds and ask WT to return as a member in good standing.
2. If certain words and/or phrases are truly “offensive” to all as opposed to “I feel offended” the elders of this site must meet (you know who you are) and make a majority ruling on which are prohibited. Upon such time, those new guidelines will be published on the site.
3. No extreme sanctions - banning or suspending - will be enforced without the concurrence of at least two elders. There will be no single arbiter. Ever.
