I have just read the thread in which Zoe was deleted,
if slateman has recorded evidence that Zoe made her post about him not editing,
after he edited, then clearly it couldn't have been there when she made the statement, therefore he does have a reason to be upset, I personally couldn't find any other reason for her being banned except that she accused him of using his "power" as a moderator to further his own opinion.
By the way mods, in a comment made by Zoe in
that thread, she quoted ackie and his swearing, the swearing still exists in the quote, you might want to go and edit that out. It could well be that Zoe looked at her quote of ackie and saw that it was still there and assumed that slateman had not edited it out, while he did edit ackie's original post he missed the quote of it in Zoe's post. So this could simply be a misunderstanding, maybe slateman should contact Zoe and ask her if this is what happended.
I do think that banning her was a bit excessive, I have seen much worse (and untrue) accusations thrown around here before and the offenders were not banned.
Cheers.
