I have to say that I totally agree with Bishop on this. How can Ryan be banned and Smartt, Ben, Renfield, etc etc, still post wih impunity.
He should be allowed to defend himself, Particularly when the attacks against Ryan are effectively "don't hire him, he has performance problems" which has a real affect on his ability (or inability) to support himself.
Don't get me wrong, his posts were lame, but if you got banned for being lame, Pris would have been run a month ago (not only because it's a fake account).
