Needless to say, it WASN"T me who caused a problem, as was verified by Steve

Steve Andre,
   I think you misread the email.  It's not polytarp at all that was
involved in this.  It was hayz.  I think that polytarp shouldn't be
punished with possibly loosing his account on gmail.  However, I also
feel that hayz3141's account being inactivated it kind of silly.  He can
always create a new account and do the samething as hayz1732.  If that
account is turned off, then he can create a new account with a similar
login.  I don't know what an appropriate action is, but I don't think
that inactivating hayz3141 and for that matter triluda isn't the
appropriate action.

Frankly, Steve', I think an apology is in order.

I agree that Steve' should apologize to polytarp.  Having a staff member libel
you is NOT a good thing.

And what is that nonsense about "is not and never will be a part of the Grex
staff."?  As if Steve' owns Grex and is omniscient enough to know who polytarp
is.

I think this is another case of staff trying to harass the users again :(

vanloons: hayz fooled someone into thinking he was an admin of the system.
hayz then sent an email saying that the guy's
          account was suspended for child porn.  Nothing of the sort had
happened.  It's just that hayz fooled this guy.
          Then the guy over reacted.
vanloons: andre picked the wrong person to blame it on.
emunerd:   i am confused :/
tod:      steve andre' browbeat scholar because steve' is incapable of reading
a paragraph of English.
<emunerd sighs>
emunerd:   scholar and hayz are two separate people
krj:       Personally I favor the m-net solution.
vanloons: dont' worry about it.  the end result is that Hayz is a goofball.
Polytarp/mfp/scholar although and idiot, was
          innocent in this case and andre made a mistake.
tod:      and then he said "he will NEVER be on grex staff" like Steve is some
sort of wizard of staff hexes and curses
krj:       Siteban all sites scholar uses.
vanloons: What's the m-net solution?
emunerd:   i see is hayz suspended?
vanloons: what does this have to do with scholar?
vanloons: Scholar didn't do anything.

I think it is a logical conclusion that so long as their are some sane and 
responsible folk on staff that polytarp will not be permitted to join the 
ranks.  Though, *never*, is a long time!  I'm sure STeve will apologise if 
their is legitimate case for an apology being warranted.

polytarp and all its hayz de-incarnations is welcome to smooch the collective
/dev/null of grex.
