I wasn't implying that there should be an insurmountable standard erected for re-admittance, only that there was nothing so compelling or intriguing about this person that would merit such a request.
I guess if other people want to make a brief for him they're perfectly entitled to, but I agree with you in the sense that it's not much of an issue.
I just wanted to express my concern that other people would be willing to the mat for users who were rightfully banned, while not supporting other, much more worthy, cases.
I don't know, on way or the other. Never swapped barbs with the bloke, or took sides in concert. All I can say is the guy never got my attention as being an ass or a good-guy, and some FR posters get my attention those ways. Count me as a "no evidence" witness.
I'd go to bat in your favor, FWIW.
