Aergad has been trolling to start fights like that and get an uproar out of people. Mort just fell for his bait. There are other reasons for his temp ban that I don't really want to get into on the forums, because there has already been enough drama related to him and we don't need more.
I agree that Mort was also out of line, and that he should know better. While he is known to be a bit crazy, Mort is still one of the oldest active members of EQEmu and has done nothing but support the project since he was first involved with it. Aergad has only joined the forums a couple weeks ago and has since started more drama than almost anyone over the past year+. All I want to do is keep the peace.
Also, since Mort is an established and well-known member of the community, I personally don't feel like I have the right to make the decision to even temp ban him on my own. If one of the senior admins wants to do it, then they certainly can. But, I am confident that Mort is not the source of the drama and I don't expect further issues with him anytime soon. For Aergad, I think my ban was warranted since he has only been here a short time and has done nothing but try to push people to the edge. We just don't need the drama and if it takes some damage control to get things back to normal around here, then I don't think there should be any problem with that.
For anyone who was on IRC last night after the Aergad ban, they would have a bit more insight into why he was temp banned. Again, I don't really want to go into the details on it here because it just furthers the drama that I am hoping to stop. I don't ban people lightly. I didn't even know I had access to ban until last night :P
