Hell, the title of this is Bannable Offenses.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;For every single thing he&#39;s posted about, he could have banned each and every player.  But instead of take the game away from these poor, unfortunate souls, he has given them another option.  He has given them the chance to continue playing, but for a price.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In this particular case, he could have just banned the player for violating the ToS/EULA.  He is not paid to dictiate the user manual in verbatim to every idiot who doesn&#39;t bother to read it.  Granted, he isn&#39;t paid to torment users, but hey, some of these people need it.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Now Dave had to make a choice.  Take the game from this person, or allow them to keep playing, but teach them a valuable lesson to go with it.  Dave is a compassionate man.  He allowed the user to continue to play the game.   &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you don&#39;t like what he&#39;s doing, don&#39;t read the blog.  After man years of customer service and putting up to similar crap that Dave has, I congratulate him for finding a way to make his job enjoyable for himself.  Eventually these people will be making the game not enjoyable for us, so he&#39;s doing everyone else a favor.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/114666482778077253/comments/default/114672980136598315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/114666482778077253/comments/default/114672980136598315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2006/05/2006-stupids-continued.html?showComment=1146729780000#c114672980136598315' title=''/><author><name>Kenny</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/02328376888081378486</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx--EoHMA7lTEucGKvbYVIyhWphVf2b56hpnCHgh0aMGVo2CBMtDxMQDc9uH08HfWqw-Px47aVzX8KY1a4Y3pENZwekQ3do6tqY_bwL8f854tF885O18a1yOHy38jrVV4/s220/icevolcano_fulle.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2006/05/2006-stupids-continued.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-114666482778077253' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/posts/default/114666482778077253' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1995135654"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="1:03 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-114672692572979891</id><published>2006-05-04T00:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-04T00:15:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>For those who were wondering (maybe you placed a G...</title><content type='html'>For those who were wondering (maybe you placed a GM call asking?) the comments prove it:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Tards link.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/114666482778077253/comments/default/114672692572979891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/114666482778077253/comments/default/114672692572979891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2006/05/2006-stupids-continued.html?showComment=1146726900000#c114672692572979891' title=''/><author><name>Reeree</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/05115101077933220986</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6223/2736/1600/Reeree.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2006/05/2006-stupids-continued.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-114666482778077253' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/posts/default/114666482778077253' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-649532218"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="12:15 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-114671003701875082</id><published>2006-05-03T19:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-03T19:33:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>He did get that response.
