Being an asshole to an asshole doesn't make you a nice guy. Whether he deserves it or not (probably does), you are actively looking for his games/comments and picking on him.
Actually, it doesn't make you a nice guy, but it doesn't make you a bad guy, and it's all down to personal opinion, in this case, i'd see Ray as the nice guy, although going the wrong way about it, theres obviously no need to swear, but I don't blame him for getting so angry that he can't control his temper... His cause is just.

Besides, talking trash has never been a reason to flat out ban someone. cl2k, wl, fb, tpl, al; all these places would be very empty if that were the case.
Again: we're not defending zippo's behaviour, but if there's a big group of people being like this, then we have 2 options: ban nobody or ban all of them.
I believe you are referring mostly to the threads I have been involved in, including avirex and shyguy for starters, whats the problem? I can't believe for one second you would actually tie us in with Zippo, we are NOTHING like Zippo so PLEASE don't put us in the same boat as him EVER again, that's actually an insult to be referred to as behaving like Zippo, for starters we keep it on the forums (except 1 game last night with me and avirex but at least we took it to PM) we do not post cocky insults and excuses on almost everyone of our own games, and we do not continually harass people when we are playing games, my attitude on the forums and my attitude actually playing the game on WNET are basically 2 different things, I am sure alot of people could relate to this, maybe even back me up on it?
I'll sum Zippo up in this one sentence "Zippo is the worst of the worst at all times in all places"
You say you are not defending him, actually by not dealing with him you ARE defending him, you are, maybe not on purpose, but definately, even acidentally giving him permission to act the way he does by openly admitting you will not ban him, you honestly don't think he notices this?
Anyway, saying that I honestly do understand where you are coming from, I agree you couldn't ban him now because his attitude today is better than it was last month and more time passed, so if you didn't ban him then, when he was worse, you literally can't ban him now, for being a bit better.
