And I also think it was a crying shame that Fresno got banned, where did the warning that he should have gotten, but no just a flat out banned. What was so terrible about his joke?

Almost like they were looking for an ~excuse~ and when he posted the FAKE QUOTE, it was the violation they needed. It was obviously a joke, if they didn't like it they could pull it and extract a public explanation and apology in the forum.

But someone was able to say "fraudulently representing the administration of FR and impersonating an admin" which is technically good enough reason to ban someone, even though in context it was obviously a joke.

~~ sigh ~~

You have to -> WANT <- to ban someone or be in a really bad mood to permanently ban a star poster like fres over something like that.

I agree, I have been reading the posts on BADJOES thread, and Miz was trying to point out it was a joke, but JR said he was bull headed so it does'nt look like Frez will be back. If this thread is to right the wrongs that have been done I think JR could at least look at it in the way it was intended, like we all did, and get a chuckle out of it.
I looked forward to his threads every day, he would post the newspaper articles, which people out of state do not get, and I could see how the media was totally on the side of the VDs.
