Hi Longview,
Your feelings are noted. But with all due respect, Zephir_AWT is not going to be reinstated before the end of the two week period. There is a long history with him, and he is close to being permabanned.
I appreciate your feelings may differ on this. But he has shown a persistent pattern of cringe-inducing attacks on forum participants and mods and an unwillingness to change his behavior despite repeated warnings, behavior which is detrimental to the kind of polite discourse we wish to promote and which will not be permitted indefinitely.
