Bring back Smurf and Thomas

[cromwell]

Smurfy ban was lifted a while ago,the forum owner contacted him he hasn't replied.

If Thomas wants back in he needs to contact Nick first,he was never originally banned until he told all and sundry he was and sent abusive pm's.

I am well aware that both Smurf and Thomas could be problematical posters from time to time, requiring the attention of mods.

I have certainly experienced the hostility of the latter in the past myself.

As for the former's ridiculous habit of threatening legal action against others all the time, is not the best response just to laugh at him when he does that?

In any case, such issues aside, both were good contributors with their own unique perspectives, which added to the mix of views around here and helped to seed worthwhile debates.

Not my call, but I would be in favour of inviting them both back, with mods on red alert if necessary. I think this forum would gain more than it loses from their participation.
