I’m sorry, but I take exception to the idea that Jake “is the heart and soul” of Sudo Room. I won’t use this thread to air my personal opinions about Jake, but I also won’t sit by and see him made out to be some kind of heroic figure.
He’s been a Sudo Room member, and a very active one, much longer (and much more actively) than me, but he’s not everything.
I don’t know what this ban is about or what he stands accused of, so I won’t weight in on that.

don't think he's a "racist". It looks like Omni is circling the drain,
and Jake's been one of the few clear voices trying to salvage the
situation. But it looks like the "collective" would rather engage in
fruitless internal conflicts than pull together and figure out a
solution to Omni's problems. If this stands, I'm gone, and I doubt I'm
the only one.
