What a shame. He brought a refreshingly different point of view to the forum, even if the past couple of years have had a sour disagreement over XIV's story. He posted here often, and often talked about other games too. Posted interesting shots from his nature walks. Truly an individual worth interacting with.

It's a shame the optics for this ban are sour too. Off the cusp of him posting a bunch of Encyclopedia Eorzea 3 pages related to that same sour story beat. Makes it seem vindictive, rather than rule bound.

Then again, the ToS for this forum are so vague, I could probably get banned for just talking about it so...

Here's to you, Theodoric. *clinks glass* Thanks for keeping this forum from being an echo chamber. Thanks for making cool characters. Thanks for making people who also felt a distaste for Endwalker's story feel a little more sane and a little less lonely.
Well, that's unfortunate. I may not have agreed with him very often, but I respected his ability to articulate his point of view without getting snippy or passive-aggressive about it.
