I don't think it's hypocritical that people have welcomed back Availer, I think it shows that LOTC has the maturity to forgive and forget. Rising above petty squables and moving forward as a community should be our main focus right now.
I suppose it depends who's welcoming him back... It could be seen that he has only been welcomed because we need him, but I have more faith in our community than that.
It happens all the time with the community. People enjoy slagging people off and grabbing their pitchforks. The same thing happened when Resp banned people from TS. People were up in arms about it then a post was made about it and everyone was on his side. Most of these people are sheep.
