I’ve said this before: Pele got banned because he said he was glad Taylor Hawkins is dead and that he deserved to die. The mods wiped away his posts in the RIP Taylor thread, so the evidence is gone. That said, they were probably getting sick of his shit anyways and just waiting for any valid reason to ban him.
We all thought HS was coming first and then Absurd came outta nowhere, so you never know!
