Bear in mind Fish, that the board requires significant time and money to be provided, free of charge to the members. I didn't lead the charge to "ban" Easy, but:

1) many threads quickly degenerated into pointless pissing contests that Easy was one half of.
2) many potential new members were driven away or turned off by the constant nit-picky contentiousness that dominated the threads.

I stayed away myself here and there because I was tired of wading through a lot of the dreck. Since he's gone we *seem* to have more new members and a greater variety of content and fewer pissing contests.

I don't rely on the site for mechanical advice though, purely for entertainment, so my perspective might not be valid.
