 Sigh. I'm sorry for bugging you, but I really need to say this to someone.  

 I don't know what to do. I left him a note on his talk page begging him to stay, and I left two notes on 's talk page asking him to reconsider his huggle ban. Nothing has worked. Several other users asked CLU to stay as well. CLU simply blanked his talk page. Neil removed CLU's huggle access with no warnings whatsoever. Look at the history of CLU's talk page for the conversation. I know that Neil was wrong, and honestly, if I were a sysop, I would re-instate CLU's huggle stuff, even at the risk of being accused of wheel-warring. There is no justification for such a massive punishment with no prior warning. None.  

 I'm sorry for ranting on and on, but it burns me that Neil was so flippant when CLU said he was leaving. CLU has more than 18000 contribs, and he is number three on the AIV history stats. Is it right to just say "bye" to someone like that and let them go? He was twice as fast as me, and, in proportion to how long he has been here, he has more AIV reports than anyone on Wikipedia. We, I, cannot, will not just stand by and watch him leave because one admin thinks he is all-powerful. And what is up with this post here? "Took away his toy"? That burns me too.  

 Can you help me, please? I don't want to see CLU leave, and there is nothing I can do to stop him or even to slow him down. I just don't know what to do...
