I'm guessing Brian's suspension has something to do with his overall general harsh tone toward well known creationist members here as well as the inactiveness of his admin alter ego.
While one can easily pick up the occasion hostile tones throughout the debates that go on here, there are some that are especially noticable. It is an unspoken rule that debating in good faith requires the show of at least some kind of good will or understanding toward the opponents. Lately, Brian's tones seem to grow harsher and harsher toward his opponents. If looked at carefully, one could understand that the almost hostile intentions are carried over from previous debates.
An obvious recent example of Brian's not-so-good intentions toward creationists can be found in message 4 of
this thread. In my humble opinion, his reaction to Faith's post was uncalled for and could have been a lot less harsh.
Anyway, without much further information, that is how I interpret "For actions against the best interests of EvC Forum."
Added by edit.
From what I understand, it is best that an admin needs to be as impartial as can be humanly possible. While this is a hard goal to achieve (just like that one more goal that the USA national team failed to make against Italy earlier today), it is always better to see an admin, though partial, who demonstrates restraints toward "the others". My understanding is that Brian's recent outbursts, if you want to call it that, have made it hard to convince "the others" that he is trying his best to be impartial.
