If this only involved a single club member then it would be non issue. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
The reason this spread to the forums was because Sam called me. Then, after I heard both sides of the story I felt Sam's actions in the situation warranted making an example out of him in terms of a warning to others about SECCS not tolerating some of the bullshit that occurred in that deal.

However, as Sam pointed out, because this issue involved a friend of mine my actions were in fact unfairly biased. The other person involved told me that this shouldn't have even ended up on the forums and that I shouldn't have done anything. Since both of them were right, the ban was removed and the thread explaining it was deleted. This situation didn't really have anything to do with SECCS, and it was my mistake to bring it here.

Personally, I'm still not super happy about things. But I do realize that both sides of this situation acted poorly, and since banning both of the people involved would essentially be harsher on Sam since the other guy doesn't even post here anymore, I'm just dropping the whole thing, and I'm asking everyone to just let it go since further discussion will result only in restarting a situation that both parties have already agreed is resolved.
