I'm sure there is more to his banning than the public knows. I honestly feel bad, it seems a lot of great contributors have been banned for reasons unknown to a lot of people.
I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision and most of us, myself included, don't want to ruffle any feathers. I'll continue to support both thedentedhelmet and Chris personally with my business.
It would be unfortunate if people who were angry customer's became the vocal minority to make the ban happen.
