From what I could tell in the mod thread, it came down to the fact that he was unwilling to name and shame. I think if he'd said something more concrete in there, more people would have stuck up for him (It seems like he had a genuine grievance and it seems as if Lawro did overstep the mark, but without being able to actually read what was said, it's difficult to make that judgment for sure). For whatever reason, he decided he was unwilling to go down the name and shame route and there was no other option.

FWIW, I'm glad that there's not an ignore button as it seems like a feature that only two people expressed a real desire for and many people were quite against, so democracy rules and all that.

Anyway, I hope he returns at some point.

I hope Elmlea hasn't left - who else is going to steadfastly defend Far Cry 2 against all opposition??

He was in oldrum.  Don't remember seeing him on blurum.
