"Now Vick has already said he believed Rehor meant to annoy other fleets by his declaration. Based on these two things a mod has every right to punish Rehor." Quoted from jhemp on the 3rd page*
The problem with this statement is why everyone is up in arms and have every valid reason to be so. Vick had THESE beliefs and personal feelings and THAT is why he went right to the ban stick on Rehor. DID he ever give Rehor a chance to explain WHY he decided to attack an UNOWNED harbor? NO. He BELIEVED that Rehor had the intention to annoy, but he never gave Rehor the chance to explain his true reason and banned him immediately instead.
Vick, to be an unbiased Mod (especially as the HEAD MOD), you need to leave PERSONAL feelings out of any rulings made. You need to consider both sides of the situation and make your decision based on those, and ONLY those. Once you bring any personal beliefs or feelings in, you are becoming biased, much like a lot of TNF members at this point in time. You should be setting an example by being a fair and just Head Mod, not one who is biased and showing other TNF members that they are allowed to be as well...
