My personal experience, (twice banned), is that it's not what you say that gets you banned, it's whom you say it to.
How do you feel about a SURPRISED banning?

Mod, in situations like this, does policy ever allow the permanent nature of the ban to be reconsidered after an appropriate period of time? He is a good guy who has helped others and is well thought of.
I suspect the poster will be back here sooner than later...new name...new IP......and then let the games begin tryna ID him.

Somehow, I do not see a guy like OG2 doing someting like that. But I know it happens.
I expect that common sense and mutual respect between terbites would go a long way toward avoiding a ban.
Disagreements can happen on the board, and sometimes, in the heat of the moment, one can say something that they might regret. I don't know what was said, but maybe they just need a time out. In such case, maybe a suspension would be more appropriate--say 1 or 2 months suspension. But a permanent ban seems harsh.
I hope the admin of this site would reconsider because OG2 adds a great deal of value to this board.
not certain what made the mods decide to ban him, when I could pull lots of research on this board of much worse,
he was a great guy as I have said in another thread, a class act and would give you much free medical help if asked,
a tremendous asset to this board , he may join another site I'm certain he will have a following
there is many that need to keep their heads up if OG2 can get banned for what I was told by him in private
the dude called him a mother f**ker then deleted it later, that's ok

So you too missed the smiley. Read on further in the thread, like post #17. If I really felt that way, why would I feel sorry about his ban?

There is a thread that was pulled where OG2 is clearly out of control. Very far from the calm and collected person you guys are describing ..LOL
That said our view is that his suspension was warranted. Likewise suckme4ever's account is being reviewed.
It's impossible for me to speak to the validity of the banning, but I can say he was informative and enjoyable to read. Too bad there isn't some appeal possible--preminent seems harsh, if he truly was suckered into a on-line fight. Seems like we've lost a good old guyzeer.
You said "suspension" but Mod 100 said permanent. The two are different. OG2 told me his ban would be lifted "never" according to his login rejection notice. Does your statement imply the "ban" is now changed to a "suspension" only and will hence be lifted at some point?
I have no idea what thread was out of control but trust you used wise judgement in removing it, but surely one thread out of hundreds where useful information and comments were offered is not deemed worthy of a total ban. A warning, sure, but a ban with no notice seems a bit harsh.
