After all this situation, I can say all we know how we must behave. This is a comunity and of course we will meet people we dont like, and things that we dont agree with (like other member said perfectly)...
Now... I a person without rancor and I believe in second chances (damit... maybe third or fourth chances! hehe) and I think we all learned good what happens when we are toxic to the comunity.
Those veterans already banned, I bet they also learned good the lesson and maybe they may come back as simple members...
REMEMBER the comunity is not big like old years... losing those members would be worst intead better.
In resume: I have no idea if I know them personally, but I appeal for them a second chance as normal members just for keep the comunity alive. Just my opinion, enjoy space!!
