Look Gauntlet had more then enough reason to ban Heart. He is the clan pedo. He has made numerous perverted comments and has harassed the female members of the clan. Get your damn heads out of the sand. Leave him banned.
It's not about heads in the sand, it's about dealing with problems in an appropriate manner. If what you're saying is true, I would expect that if it was causing a problem that members were actually concerned about, that there would have been complaints made to management, that would have been taken seriously been discussed, to come to a decision as to the appropriate disciplinary action for him, rather than allowing one member to randomly ban him permanently, or even for 30 days. Or have things really deteriorated from By-Laws to Marshall Law in BC?
In my entire time in the clan, I never saw Beloved Heartless do anything that wasn't simply a result of a warped sense of humor, and I only ever saw people respond to it in a humorous way. If people have serious problems with another member, they need to speak up and let management know, or their superior officer (the chain of command really was established for a reason, I remember, I was there) so that issues with members could be dealt with appropriately. If no one says anything, aside from complaining to each other in a small group, the issue never gets resolved. Instead, people let their emotions towards that member get built up until they can't take it anymore and end up misusing their authority based on their own emotions, and not the best interest of the clan. It's happened before, and now it's happened again.
It may be that Heart needs to be banned forever for the things he's done in more recent history. I honestly don't know. But I know, simply by what I've read in this thread so far, that it certainly should not have happened like this.
Miss you guys <3
