As much as I've thought some of his other close calls to banning we're questionable, this AM's 9-11 rant is definately a time out worthy event IMHO. +1 to the mods!!

Last minute apology not enough eh? Maybe he'll think before he speaks in the future ... err never mind.
Before this thread gets too long with replies and opinions I will chime in and simply state that this has been coming for some time. Doug had many warnings (a lot more than what was given to other members that were banned). His insensitivity towards the anniversary of 9/11 was the final straw. You just don't fuck with 9/11 at any level. I'm usually one of the more easy going mods, but that left me pissed and considering his history, I say good riddance. AZ will be a different place without him, no doubt. I think it will be better.

So this is permanent and not a time-out?
Just because you happen to be in possession of an opinion doesn't necessary mean you are entitled to share it or express it anyway you want..I'm no fan of GSS. But, in my opinion, censoring someone's opinion if you don't agree with it is a dangerous thing.

I whole hartedly disagree with this. IMO his comments were not Worth getting banned, you guys were just looking for an excuse to ban him. This site is already boring enough latly, this decision will make it even more so.
I wonder how long it will take for me to get a warning for disagreeing with the mods?

Permanent.
In the Sugarloaf situation, the guy got his pass back eventually. I think it would be better to do the same kind of thing with Dougie. This message board is way more entertaining with him around to stir the pot.
