I'm with ya Bman. Banning someone for excessive sillyness is just plain idiotic. It's obviously an issue of personal taste, not serious misconduct.
I don't see how penguin did anything even close to offensive.

Is not the description of the Lounge "friendly talk about nothing in particular"??! That's it. Nothing in particular. I mean that's just self-explanatory. How was that violated?

What we have here is abuse of power. I didn't see any large scale complaints about penguin. Nobody asked for him to be banned, yet there are plenty of other twerps and assholes who have done stupid shit, have been pointed out to the mods, and yet nothing happens to them.

But penguin gets banned because you simply don't like him? C'mon del... you old ugly hippie. Get a clue.
