I won't get into this too much, let's see what the board has to say.
Yes, this is a weird topic but imho it's a thing that had to be at least tried out. It's not a thread for mocking Dan, it's  just to understand a bit better the implications of a ban.

Anyway, one thing on the subject: I don't think actually Dan *wants* to be back: In fact i didn't receive anything from him yet (and my email is up there for everyone to see), and i doubt Serge did too. If i was banned and wanted to be readmitted on a board, the first thing i'd do is sending a message or mail to the admins. Dan did not do this, and his is a permanent ban.

Said this, for now the board will have a decision. I won't cast a vote

If I just talked to Dan, I'd only have his opinion - a rather biased one - and I need more.
If a single opinion was enough for me in such cases, I'd just use mine...

No, I don't regret I've created this topic. People have the right to voice their opinions - even you did it for Dan, and that's good! IMHO, the worst thing is when someone starts making decisions without listening to the others first. Remember our history and how people lived then, having only one right - to agree with the government's decisions

I really doubt you will ever behave the same way Dan did.
