If it was through /msg I don't see why he was banned. He asked his friend if they wanted the ip to his server, and his friend said yes. I'm only going by what he said in the post above, there might be another side to this story...
I believe Redneck has learned his lesson. (I hope so....) I suppose I'll vouch. Besides him be frustrating at times, he is a pretty cool person. And I would like to see him in LTS.
