future legend has it that the bouncers are accountable, but no-one really knows or cares because we get wasted on absinthe cosmopolitans and listen to the Strangest Living Curiosities sound check until the sun comes up, at which time we retire to the Crypt Room for a drop of the crimson and some much-needed shuteye.

Why do we need to understand these decisions made 'behind the scenes'? They don't involve us. There's no reason to assume we're entitled to details of why people receive forum bans or what their threads said. What other business does that? When you go to a restaurant, you're entitled to the food you pay for and reasonable attention from your w entitled to be handed information so you can see if you agree with decisions or not.
Entitled is too strong a word, but when I go to a restaurant, I want more than just good food. I want good drink selection, good service, a reasonably clean environment, etc. If the manager feels no need to explain why I'm not getting them, then I feel no need to come back again.
Look, the last thing I want to do is defend Arrakis. I have a feeling he got what he deserved. However, the over-strident defense of the site admins is also a bit tiresome. They do have some obligation to their customers. Whether you think it fair or not, a customer who deems that they have failed in their obligation will simply take their business elsewhere. There is no 'entitlement' in play.

If they said it wasn't your business, would you not come back because your curiosity was more important than the good food and atmosphere?
Just wondering.
