But weren't him and Irish good friends? - then it should be irish who talked to him, and make a decision if he stays admin or leaves nod or something like that?
He was everyones friend. It doesn't really matter if you're a friend or not - abuse is abuse and you will get punished for it sooner or later.
In this case nothing has happened to Daniel yet, he still has the same rank and everything but he doesn't talk with the same enthusiasm as before.
Like I said, let's just leave him alone and let the Owners handle this. Everyone else can comment here aswell. All we want is that he just says the truth once and for all, and the least he can do is apologize. (Even if I know many aren't going to accept the apology, I still want him to say sorry to his friends who treated him with respect.)
