If it was like "The current state of Beyblade parts allows us to actually play against Libra in a competitive setting and not loose all of the time and have a equal and fair win ratio." then I could see you talking about bringing it back. For now I really think it should just stay banned.
I wouldn't agree with this. I think we've discovered enough good quality, attacking options to now reconsider this; Pegasis, Ray, L Drago and to a smaller extent, Lightning, have all come into particular prominence since the ban was introduced.

It's not. In the initial poll we had to canvas opinion on Libra's ban, nearly everybody who voted for the ban were advanced members who had seen, first-hand, the skewing which had occurred in the metagame with its presence. It's an indictment of the level of understanding required to discuss this - I'm not intentionally demeaning anyone who voted against the ban, but I am saying that when discussing such things, it is vital to actually both own the part, and to have the knowledge to understand the outstretching ramifications of rule changes.
As a disclaimer though, I have no current viewpoint on Libra's reintroduction; I merely think it's interesting to see discussion and opinion on it.
