There was a post on the first page that described the truth:
To be honest, I just find this whole business an inmense pile of bullshit. Panos is a normal person, yes, a normal guy - one that I respect just as any other. It's really depressing how expressing his opinions has gotten him banned on several, if not all, ocassions.
Some people here think they are forum heroes, kings of trolling and charming comedians or whatever. The truth is I don't find anything of this funny at all. You've all taken a liking to making fun of Panos, provoking him, and even banning him for nothing.
Tell you what, you guys aren't the new heroes, you are childish at best.
Seriously, he got permabanned for calling someone a "ranged my old friend"? What is this, Feminist Frequency? Grow a goddamn pair.
