I'm a tad puzzled by my favorite terminally fluffy hippy - what unreasonable behavior are you guilty of? It was me who told the Fried Baldy/Gene hybrid to f*ck off. Notwithstanding my deeply held sincerity and precisely zero contrition, I expect to do the time that fits the crime as there is no excuse for such personal insults. We are both ex Admins and know such perceived largesse can only damage the site. If your sponsorship of Atlantis for PR is appeasement, then who exactly is this supposed to placate? (not really your style) or are you acting under the guise of expediency to right a 'report buttoned' wrong?
The person in need of placation is myself - the guilt is in derailing this thread, the unreasonable behaviour is in rising to the bait inherent in the OP that it is policy and politicking that determines band addition. The appeasement is for ignoring the substance of this thread over its perceived tone. I see no reason why Atlantis should not be here in prog Related and while I tire of explaining the "rules" each time one of these kinds of threads appears (and doubly so when the OP is a long-standing collaborator here), there are times when it is better to be proactive than reactive.

I really don't care if people report me or not, and since I have never used the button myself I would never assume that they have either.

Interestingly, I had a high school history teacher whose grading system went beyond the customary "A" (outstanding) through "F" (fail), and went all the way to "K" (klunk).  The only way you could get a K was if you got every question on the exam wrong, and misspelled your name as well.   I remember a friend of mine actually did misspell his name on an exam, and in fact lost points for it.
