    Welp, another account to scratch off the list.

    I truly think telling him to leave wasn’t wise.

    If this was a truly accepting place, we wouldn’t be pushing someone to delete their account, and then rejoicing once he does.

    Look, maybe he annoyed you.

    Maybe he was a bit of an asshole at times.

    Maybe he was overwhelmingly religious.

    But telling him to leave sends the wrong message.

    Now I do think his exit was melodramatic, and leaving after not even half the community complained about him, it’s a bit soft skinned, especially for internet standards.

    But pressuring someone to leave sends the wrong message about this small little community we have.

    If we keep pressuring people to leave, newbies will feel more and more unwelcomed.

    Loads of people already have complained about newer users.

    I, like many people on this site, have a list of “Acceptables and Unacceptables” I majorly dislike scarf figs, I usually explain why, but most of the time leave it at that.

    However, at the top of my Don’ts list is telling, or pressuring people to leave.

    Now as a joke it’s fine, absolutely nothing should be off the table for jokes.

    But people weren’t joking when they asked Cookie to leave.

    I personally think it’s one of the lowest things to do.

    A lot of people might see it as a good thing, but I don’t think ticking number off the already comparedly small list of numbers.

    We may have over 14000+ users on this site, but only like, 50+ choose to interact, which might be getting lower by the hour!

    Overall, I despise the idea of pressuring someone to leave, cuz’ even if you think it’s doing good, it’s not.

    Maybe @ralph could add a block button, so people don’t have to do things like this again.
