To be fair, if nobody knew he was bedpost they wouldn’t care. See Eon for example, like nobody knew until I got royally pissed off and drama’d him. I’m not saying he should be immune to criticism but given he’s been gone for as long as he has been he should be given a little benifit of the doubt. If he starts pulling dumb stuff sic the dogs on him. Despite the common naritive, people do change here(me, eon, darth, various others) so at least give him an oppertunity.
The reason why this is complete bullstuff is because not being able to browse a lego forum isn't a good enough motivator to stop being socially handicapped and everyone gets this, which is why everyone reasonably wants bedpost to forget off permanently
You want people to be given a fair shake? Maybe they shouldn't have burnt their bridges. Otherwise, if you feel bad because bedpost isn't getting a welcome wagon because he took the $10 pill, welcome to a very narrow loving demographic.
