Think about this: a guy states he has avoided a forum because he has heard a lot of bad things about intolerant mods and users but wants to give it a shot and extend an olive branch because he states it doesn't matter if you like or dislike the prequels and wants to join in the community.

He gets banned for this.

Imagine a thread like that anywhere else. Imagine it here. We would be welcoming him and telling him that if he just keeps himself in check, as he has stated he will do, then he will find there are a lot of nice people here with interesting thoughts and opinions.

But nope. They demonstrate the very bad things he stated he had heard about that had kept him away. Instead of demonstrating them to be exaggerations, they confirm. Thread deleted, user banned. Sieg heil!
