I think if he came back and was just reasonable then any little spat would be soon forgotten. I certainly wouldn't hold a grudge.
People come and go. I found myself having more laughs on here when he was about, but that was just laughing at him not with him, which is not a good thing (for him) As soon as something controversial happens (Mayalsia!) again the forum will liven up a bit, nothing like a scandal to get everyone going! Ashes to ashes, dust to dust ........... major tom etc etc
Did you know Major Tom was a junkie and he never really went into space after all?! Seriously though, yeah, you're right: I'd like Silver to come back but I don't think it's going to happen and I have noticed that things are generally more harmonious here now.
I find it more funny that of all the events that saw him burst and leave was Five Live's preview show to the new season! Hardly controversial stuff and a bit needless quite frankly but it was his call and the forum has been more harmonious since aside from the whole Webber/Vettel situation which died down once we got some racing again.
Finally, I'm think I've found Silver Arrow... In Argentina!!! Don't worry if you don't speak Spanish; visually, it speaks for itself... But I'm not sure it's turning out exactly the way he hoped... [video=youtube;DibHKS_W2Fw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DibHKS_W2Fw[/video]
