Urk is great! He writes interesting stuff. We need people like him in here. He is never unpolite.
When do people realize that he wasn't judged by his good and interesting stuff?
"My friend was honest and polite his entire life, then he drunk too much, drove the car against an eletrical tower and is in jail now. BUT he was a really good person for the entire community." Does that matter for the judgement?
If it's about cheating then it's possible that the accusation is incorrect.
Being drunken is bit different thing. As drunken people do wrong things because one way or the other they can't control themselves.
For the question: yes it matters. I also wanted to tell what kind of writing we need in here. I only told my opinion.
Oh I doubt he's banned for life. Have him write a letter to Erik explaining that he's truely sorry for the inconvenience that he put the site through. Confession is good for the soul. Oh no!
