he did anything wrong.

I made a post to answer the OP with 300+Recs.. because I've seen so many excuse him by stating "he didn't really say it".

I said in so many words that this is SKP's doing-he has to own it.. he has to realize he made the mistake.. and apologize and maybe he will get reinstated.. and I laid it all out from "the Troll's" post to what SKP replied to him.

And, then EarlG's statement on why he was banned. I think it is clear as a bell.

It seems like I'm the only dissenting view there.. but I just quickly perused..
