I for one newfie am usually the last person to refer to someone as a basher or pumper. Proving peoples intents as to wether they are sharing a genuine opinion or have alterior motives is impossible to prove so its a waste of time focusing on those kinds of accusations. The issue I had with EZ was his banter with others whos opinions differed from his. Even if his mocking was meant in the most lighthearted way it is something that cant be interpreted on this kind of forum. I'm sure if Paul was talking to someone- body language, tone of his voice, facial expressions all communicate better sometimes a persons intent then what they are acyually saying. In a black and white forum all you have are the actual words. The person's "tone" is unknown. If EZ feels bad he got the boot hopefully he understands that many of us that supported it aren't happy he is gone either. It sounds contradictory but many of us wish he didnt need the 3rd 4th 20th warning. Many would agree they'd like to see him back right now if he could just play nice. For me he already is missed.
