Sorry for my little english vocabulary, but I think you shouldn't forget who was at the source of the friendly vibe in this forum.

For me, the most part of last banned members have the real WipEout spirit, as past good times.

It's just my ideas, maybe they are false because I don't understand all the subtleties of the language of Shakespeare, but for me, those who have bad behaviour are some new members who land here, thinking they are better than old members, without respect, without listen to the famous members.

They land, and they ruin the entire hierarchy, existing relationships...

So in reaction, some "good" members could be offensive, but it's normal. In real life, if someone land, without competence, ability, experience, he must adopt its behaviour.

Old members should have some legitimacy, and if they are offensive, in a friendly and relaxed community, there is often a good reason, and the best people to sit that in judgment, they are the pioneers of this forum, because this forum have its history, its past, and nobody should ignore it.

Don't forget what is the WipEout spirit, and for new members, try to get it.
