Not only was it not the right decision, but it's likely a major factor in the abuse that's led to him closing it down.
I admit I don't think I'll be joining if said members are allowed on.

I don't know if that's entirely true, the main culprit was still showing his true colours on social media and in several ban-evading sock puppet accounts on TVF which showed they hadn't changed and would just revert to type if allowed on TVLF (which is exactly what happened). While I guess you can argue some others should have been given a second chance and may have matured and changed, the red flags were very much flying around "he who shall not be named", and it was a very bad (and indeed, likely fatal) error of judgement to have allowed him on here.
