The last time I talked to him was yesterday and was surprised to read this blog. I'd read all the comments so yeah... I understand how he's banned although I'm really not sure why, you know. From the brief time I'd known him, he's really nice, cool and laid back. I hope he'll come back soon though.
Well, that sucks. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy, honestly. I hope if he decides not to come back, he finds what he's looking for and things look up for him in all aspects of his life.
As for the whole banning thing, hopefully he doesn't take it to heart. I've heard of a lot of people being banned over what I might consider petty things, but alas, that's the way it is. Please tell him once I finish that story I was working on for him, I'll email it to him
And thank you for taking the time to let us know, I for one would've wondered where he disappeared to had it not been for you blog
I told Zak about how many people were asking about him and he said he really appreciates everyone and their kind words. I'm sure he'll come back, he just has to get over it. His "unban" date I believe he said was the 20th, but who knows when he'll be ready to come back..
I'm sure once he figures out what's going on with him, he'll be back in no time. =]
I talked to him just a few minutes ago and he said he was banned for bashing. He told me specifically what was said and considered bashing, and I disagree with the choice that was made, but can't really say anything about it more than that. Ya know?
I told Zak people loved him despite the crap hand he was dealt, and he should come back when he's ready. He said he'll seriously think about it because he'd hate to lose everyone he got to know. He really liked a lot of you, and said lots of you were supportive when he needed support from friends.
He'll come back. I have faith, just gotta give him time. =]
I will be sure to tell him later tonight when he gets back to town. I think he would REALLY appreciate an e mail from you. It would probably cheer him up. lol.
I'm sure if you ask him he'll explain to you what happened. He really is one of those guys from like a cheesy sitcom... Like.. Chandler from Friends.... lol. He doesn't generally say mean things to people unless they've gotten under his skin. (Which is hard.)
I'm sorry you're leaving this site, I see things have changed since I last logged in and I noticed a lot of people are unhappy. =[ If you know of any other writing sites, make sure you fill Zak in because I know he says he doesn't take his writing seriously... but he does. It's something his Mom used to encourage.
Tell him not to worry about it because I'm leaving this website tomorrow, and I will definitely send him an e-mail. I am just so sad this happened to him, and I wish I could've seen who upset him because I know somebody said something unsavory.
Yeah.. every summer is pretty full for him. He's a big out doors kinda dork. lol.
He is super nice, and I'll be sure to tell him that you said you hope he returns. He'll be happy to know everyone isn't actually mad at him. That was his impression when he left.
Zak mentioned you, and he specifically told me to find you and tell you that he was banned, but I totally couldn't find you because I was looking up pvt jamie.... (I'm taking it he meant ptvjaime lol)
He said: "Tell her I'm incredibly sorry. She was one of my favorites and that when/if he comes back he wants to look you up first because he'll miss you while he's gone."
He's a very sweet dude. But he learned the hard way not to take crap, and you can't really use tough love or sarcasm here unless you're for sure it's not bashing. He comes from a time/place when you could say what you wanted to people as long as you could back yourself up.
I'm sure he'll come back eventually, maybe not for a few months, but he just wanted me to let everyone know... Judging by the lack of responses though... I probably will just tell him everyone said hurry and come back. Lol. He feels bad enough.
I'll tell him you inquired about him though, he'll be happy. haha.
That's exactly me. I try to be as accommodating as I can, but when people get snappy with me I end up in a lot of trouble. I don't like making people angry, just really confused! D:
