He IMed me the other day asking if I thought he should be let back in, as he apparently did a lot of other people. Now usually I'm all for second chances.

Sitting here as I am now I would say, sure why the fuck not. Give him another chance. He was always a decent guy when I knew him before, and after he seemed alright. It was probably just a bad time in life for him.

But like I told him, while I harbor no ill feelings to him from before, if I were in an Administrative position I would not let him back. There is the simple fact he attacked the site, backstabbed his friends, and then on top of it tried getting back in again covertly (iirc). As an admin I would not trust a person who had shown such past deviancies because its my sites balls on the line on the slight chance he's just been sucking up to get back in and then blows up once more. Especially considering how poorly revoking permabans have gone in the past, only serving to remind us why that person was banned in the first place.

But with out projecting myself into a role, I have nothing to lose by gambling on it so sure.
