There are 29 Bandits. I don't know 75% of them or more. The same goes for the % that post in the Bandits forum. I'm guessing that they have no idea what is happening with Owen. A good guess I think. The forum posters know Owen well and those that don't like him are not going to be shy about voting against him regardless of the merits in this case. He's pissed off a lot of people. If you take that in to account then the vote total should absolutely be against him. What is remarkable is how many are supporting him or rather are against this action against him. Claiming he got votes because of his clan mates is ridiculous. Hell, I've been annoyed at some of his posts like I have been with jeffjeff and many others. I think the the vote totals so far reflect that this has been heavy handed and dogmatic and that there is no reasonable explanation for it to have been so. If this is anything it is a call to reason. Did his posts really upset so many people that he had to receive a punishment? Taking away his private messaging was necessary? This is a stupid gaming forum, seriously, he wasn't posting porn, he wasn't posting hate like I see in the political forums. He was busting balls. Why this happened is not because Owen has been an annoying ass before, it is because you goofballs take this shit too seriously and wanted somebody to respect your authority. Sorry guys but that is the same as the meme about winning the Special Olympics.
Nothing is going to change because you can't admit you were wrong or that this isn't a bunch of silly crap or a waste of time. CC is a bunch of silly crap and a waste of time, that's why we participate in it. The real world is even worse so that's why we waste our time here, to escape.
