I never suggested that anyone was being directy pressured into signing the petition, or anything similar, but where one leads, others follow. This is a tightly knit community and if a group of people decide to do one thing, it's likely their friends will do the same without reason and consideration. That's just human nature.

"I and the other users kept it hidden from Jayden because we did not want to bring it to his attention yet, because we thought he would react it a certain way, which he did."

Of course he reacted that way when he discovered that the people, who I imagine he considered his friends, turned out to be plotting behind his back. I imagine he was livid with everyone, and chose to act as he did because of that. Choosing not to listen to you, because you did not listen to him to begin with.

In Jayden's statement on the situation, he put forward his argument and he asked for forgiveness. I've told you why he acted that way, and he stated in his response "go and read Brainsbeer's replies to that thread, because it pretty much 100% sums up why I behaved in that manner", so that's fact.

Yeah, he may have been the originator of the movement. People were calling for heads to roll, so he took the opportunity to "suck up", and to protect his own interests. Does it not occur to you that practically the same thing happened against him, with the signing of the petition to revoke his user rights.

You did indeed get the support of every user you messaged... for the ban. Not for the revocation of rights, 'cause I'm adamant I never agreed to that. I'm not opposing the banning of Jayden and Elite.

Again, he acted out of anger, of course he chose to try and screw everyone over, because everyone had screwed him over.

Does the fact that nobody has complained at all not rouse concern in anyone other than me? Which just brings me back to the point that people were just jumping on the bandwagon.
