I know this thread is somewhat disrespectful to other members, and I'm not trying to say the following out of any ill will.
Looking back maybe 5 or 6 years ago, probably bnewton despite the fact that I didn't like him very much. He was pretty much just one of your typical kids that didn't listen, came off as a know it all, and just got very defensive 24/7. I remember that led to a lot of arguments and even some other members (and myself looking back) gave him a lot of shit before he got banned. I remember back when he tried to be a part of the community again with a clean start and everything, but when I saw the last thread he made when he was making his sprites and he just didn't change as a person. I still remember making that post to him explaining to him why people were giving him criticism and if he wasn't going to listen he may as well just leave (I came off as pretty aggressive about it, but if he wasn't gonna make an effort to take a hint then someone had to say it.)
Looking back at all that though, I kind of understood his perspective of things because for a long time I was the same way as he was in several ways. But at the same time he needed to really just grow up a bit the same way everyone else does.
I don't usually feel sorry for a lot of members but Bnewton was just someone that I could make some exception for, because you know I did believe he wanted to change but I didn't see him put any effort into that.
