Look, I don't know .Dave. and I don't have a personal view on the .Dave. matter
because I don't have the facts, all I have is a bunch of hearsay which may or may not present the full picture. What irritates me is how blogit staff are allowing this issue to develop unchecked. You write: "Believe it or not, we are human and it is frustrating that we can't discuss everything publicly and completely. Unfortunately, for privacy reasons, we cannot discuss a different member's account."
The privacy rights in question belong to .Dave.! If he is happy to waive his rights to privacy then you have no obligation to remain silent about what caused you to ban .Dave. If you do remain silent, it suggests that you have something to hide - like, you made a mistake. We all make mistakes, since we're all human. It's not the end of the world, provided you take steps to make amends once you've cooled down enough to realize that yes, perhaps you were too hasty. I accept that if a third party has complained, the identity of that party should remain confidential, but that's
all that needs remain confidential if .Dave. has waived his right to privacy. Of course, if he hasn't, then that's a completely different story - but that's not the impression I'm getting.
