M1A1 has been banned

[Der Kuenstler]

The thing to remember is, Bogdan did not come humbly to the front door of the Blitz with hat in hand, openly asking for forgiveness. Might he have gotten mercy from the leadersjhip here if he had done so? Possibly. Perhaps we could have even posted a poll for all to vote on his open return. Instead, he came in stealthily by jimmying a back window, under the guise of a different person. By doing this, he has shown that he still has the kind of character that if he can get away with something he wants to do, he will try it, regardless of the ethics of it. Does that translate into the games he has played here recently? Nobody knows. But what message would it send to the others who have been banned in the past for cheating if M1A1 were allowed to stay? And how would it be fair to others here to allow him to occupy a rung of our ladder, which is the finest in the world IMHO, above all those who worked hard to be here honestly? No one wants the club to get smaller, but the club must maintain its integrity regardless if its size. I agree its a shame but there was really no other choice for us to make here.
