I can't condone what he has done. When hurt or upset he does do inappropriate things without thinking of the consequences, it is a side of HC's personality that I see all to often. Now you'll understand why he doesn't have many friends has he can lash out them (verbally)for the slightest thing. To be fair, I think this is the longest he has lasted on any forum!
Give him a big hug from me - maybe if he doesnt want to ask to come back and await their decision you can just let us know how he is doing and what bus journeys he has gone on. Also think he should sick with the diet as hismum is counting on him0 -

Interesting too that you chose to cicumvent the spell checker and use the F word on here.
Martins site really has let itself down with this I'm afraid. He is supposed to be a person who champions the causes of those who often can't fight for themselves for whatever reason yet on this occasion HC has been treated with no consideration at all.
This whole business leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth I'm afraid.
Excellent post..:TBorn to glitch0 -

I'm massively disappointed by this post for numerous reasons and it's quite a disheartening read after the efforts made and time taken to try and explain and interact. Sometimes it feels like we can't win either way.
However, I shall respect your right to your (and other users) opinion and on that note remove myself from commenting further.

We all know to some small extent what the effects HC's condition has upon his life , but the problem I have defending him is that he knew exactly what he was doing by leaving a space between the offending words .
He never left spaces in words that weren't banned from use on the forum .
In my mind this was the action of someone who knew full well what they were doing even if drunk , ill or sober .
My opinion and I expect no thanks .
I agree with that to a point, but where the argument fails is that many others of us circumvented the censor on numerous occasions and didn't get a single warning, not even an informal PM!
We are however led to believe that HC was given informal warnings, a yellow card, a red card and then a permanent ban as outlined in the FAQ's.
Sorry but I don't believe that for one minute!0 -

Post of the day! Well said!
I had no idea what aspergers was till HC came on this forum, I'm still a bit bemused by it all now to be honest but at least I have some idea of the difficulties he must have through no fault of his own in forming long standing friendships etc and the way some people make little or no allowance for his condition.
He can count me as a friend too!0 -

Just thought it was worth updating you all on the HC issue. We have received an email from the user as follows:
"I am not grovelling to be let back on the forum. It's obvious MSE Andrea has a problem with me and it's for that reason she can GO F*** HERSELF!"
So there you have it. Unfortunate but that's what we've been sent. I'm not sure what to say really, but I feels this (regrettably) justifies the action we were forced to take in the first place.
My OH is very much a 'cutting off his nose to spite himself' sort of person and would have done something very similar to this in the same circumstances (and probably would have regretted it later but would never admit it to anyone). I don't talk much on here and never read much of the nighttime discussions but I don't believe anyone with so much support from so many people can be as bad is being said. Perhaps some mediation between HC and the Forum Managers is needed to help resolve the situation - and ultimately get HC back with his friends.0 -
