This is what I was noticing and, knowing that you use downvotes as a way to determine whether a member fits in here, I wondered whether you would eventually ban him.

Looking at the downvotes is more of a double-check to make sure I'm not crazy. I don't ban anyone just for having a bad upvote/downvote ratio. It is just one "quality signal" as Google calls it. 

But I look at many factors, plus I'm human so I look at intangibles as well.

A human is always going to make better judgments than any computer algorithm.

Yes, I know.  I did say "as a way", but I should have been clearer.

He just had a 30th Anniversary Celebration this past weekend in Kansas, we had him for four days. I am happy that he set some time to visit the other chapels. I hope you all have as good a time as we did.
Where is this going to be? NY? Not far from me, might be interested

I had a look at his archive and realized that he used to be ascent. I'm sure Matthew knows this but it comes as a surprise to me.

As far as his banning, could it be a temp ban?

Good riddance!  Some of his articles were interesting, but I did not appreciate being called names.  What he called me was quite mild compared with some other women.  I decided to simply not reply to anything he posted instead of down thumbing or lodging a complaint.
I think maybe his girlfriend dumped him or he got fired, perhaps unjustly, by a woman boss.
Give him time to cool off, like 6 mos.  then if makes inquiry, give him one more chance.
