Well,
 
 What's (un)remarkable about this whole thread is that, from the very 
 beginning, it introduces absolutely nothing folks around here didn't already 
 know about the internet, fandom, and rumour-mongering.
 
 A post stating that some people can be stupid and demonstrate a herd-like 
 mentality?  Judging from the all-too predictable response it's generated, one 
 can only wonder at the purpose of its existence.
 
 sigh.

I just don't get the deleting of posts - it happens a lot and I'm left with a disjointed picture of whatever just happened.  If I felt I were having my words twisted about, I wouldn't up and remove them.  Creates doubt. 
Also (and I understand this may well be none of my business) am I reading this correctly that Dave contacted Matt at home about this thread?  That's just silly.  Matt posts here about every 2 nanoseconds; I'm sure he would've read this thread & done whatever he felt he needed to do as moderator - if anything.  And if he were inclined NOT to do anything, how is a phone call going to change that?  Reminds me of Demi Moore strenuously objecting in A Few Good Men. 
Edited to add: Matt's post below mine clears things up nicely, so rather than post again I was going to mention here that he cleared it up nicely, but then I thought he might not see my mention that he cleared it up nicely, so NOW I'm going to leave this edit here, which doesn't really say ANYTHING except what I'm about to say again as soon as I post.  Hint for the kids: never edit to add something before you are fully awake!

Nah.  Dave didn't email or call me.  He just dictated terms to me while I wasn't around at 12:30 AM and then chastised me for not doing what he wanted when he wanted it done.

 Now, see, that's just not neccessary.  It's just rubbing salt in the 
 wound.  Granted, this was a heated topic and folks lost their cool - 
 folks on both sides of the thread.  It would be a good idea for all still 
 involved, to chill out a little bit and think before you post.

 Joe Zhang lying in front of everyone? The proof there for all to see? |

 Admittedly I don't like Joe Zhang (but that is a rant for another time), but I 
 don't think he was actually lying there, he was just mistaken (though 
 doing some fact checking wouldn't of killed him), oh well.
 
 I kinda liked Dave, he seemed alright to me, I guess he just got a little 
 heated there, still had no problem really with him, I realize this isn't a 
 democracy so I have no right to complain about who gets banned or who 
 doesn't, so I won't.
 
 Oh well, whatever.
 
 End of post.
