I'm not going to comment one way or the other on whether or not his suspension or banning was justified. I'm just going to say that we don't know the decisions made and the discussions had in regards to his posting. The moderators on the old boards had the policy of not discussing these sorts of actions and it is likely that the moderators here will do the same. The reason for this is a good one in that the type of environment that discussion would foster would become even more toxic than one where a banning is perceived as unjust.
The fact that this thread and other discussions about GHB have been allowed to continue just shows that they are providing more leeway than existed on the old boards where this discussion would have been deleted and potential infractions issued to those involved. If you have concerns about things like this, address them directly with a moderator or admin. They may not provide all of the details but it is better than public displays.
Phil, I know you didn't intend this as a "I'm questioning the mods" type of thing, but I don't want it to turn into that, which is the way I fear this is heading. Things like that can bring down a board in a hurry.
