Greyfoxx did you see those deleted posts? I did. They were only open appeals to the mod.
I think neely was banned because he had become a whining, pest. If you are going to speak out about someone’s religion, you’d better grow a thick skin and take your licks. It is a distasteful task and few are called to do it.
From what I saw, DU made the first post to NNN. If there were previous posts deleted, I didn't see them. Although NNN did some whining, he was certainly not the only one, do you agree? And a thick skin is certainly required of all participants in these discussions.
There are others I would describe as pests here also. Not you, BTW ;)
