I'm probably the main proponent for reinstating G-man. This is what I said:
Quote: Wednesday said:

I don't.
Honest.
I think he should have stayed.
Why?
Because I like one-sentence paragraphs.
And I think he's learned his lesson. Not to sound condescending, but that might be the best way to put it. He and I have butted heads before over how the forum should be run. He was iron fist-like. I'm more laissez faire. Which way's the right way? Probably neither. But there's no denying that G-man cared.
He posted more threads in that forum than anyone else. He started conversations that got people talking. He injected interesting POVs into dead and stupid threads. Not to sound like a fanboy, but whether or not you liked his methods, G-man did his job...almost too well.
A lot of people gave him a lot of shit, but I think that's even more reason for him to stay (or return...whatever). Prove them wrong. Take the last few days as one big lesson. Continue adding content. Stop removing it.
You've got it in you, Gonads-man.
All of that is still true.
He and I disagreed a lot about how that forum--any forum--should be run. It even resulted, in some degree, in my earlier call to resign and resignation.
However, earlier in that same thread, after a looooooooooooong bout with another poster, G-man rescinded. He even said he was sorry. That's something I thought he would never do. And he agreed to a new outlook on the forum.
But there are those, like bsams, who dislike G-man very much, and refused to give him a chance. Do they have reason to dislike him? Sure. But continuing to argue the point was, in my view, a little childish. And so it went. Attack after attack. Not to say G-man was a totally innocent victim here, but there are those who never even considered giving him a chance.
But I did, because I still think he could be good for that forum if he wanted to mod, but he doesn't. He resigned, and has already stated that he doesn't wish to serve.
