Bring Back Siege!

We, the undersigned members of the Jellyfish community, respectfully request that the Jellyfish Support Team revisit the banning of our friend and fellow member, siegethepyro.

Siege was a well-liked, though somewhat edgy member of the JF community. He came in with something of a bang, but rather quickly settled down and became a late night friend to many, frequently making us laugh with his offbeat sense of humor and interesting view of the world. he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but the everyone who knew him had a deep sense, even when being edgy, was that he was truly harmless.

Siege pushed the envelope at time with suggestive conversations, ideas for hosting shows and his own desires to have an impact on the Smack, and wasn't always the most popular member here, but that could be said for many people who are "regulars" here. The Smack has lately been full of trolls, racists, haters and people just looking to be disruptive, but Siege was not one of them. Although his viewpoint and lifestyle differed from many of us, he was not seen as an outsider--he was one of us, for better or for worse.

Siege was not a troll, hater or a troublemaker. He looked at the Smack as his second home (his attendance, comment count, shopping record and guru points attest to this) and as many of us do, depended on being able to come here, chat, shop, and wind down his day with friends.

We believe that he is more than willing to work with the JF support team to ensure that any issues that may have occurred to cause his ban do not occur again, and that if allowed to be back among his friends, he will be very careful to adhere to the Terms of Use as stated on the site. If he is unable to do so we understand he will not be permitted to return as a member.

We respect JF's desire to keep the site a user friendly place, and hope that our friend Siege will be allowed to return to a place many of us now see as home.
