We talked briefly on Facebook about his ban last night. From my understanding, Simfan was bored last summer and wanted to make some posts "from a contrary perspective." He also said he never told Inks that someone was stalking him. I just said "Oh," because that totally contradicts what BK's statement said -- so I didn't quite know who to believe.
And yes, I did take down the petition at my will. I think this type of thing can be forgiven, but because Simfan apparently kept digging himself into this hole, I just said "'ta hell with it."
