BumphreyHogart was banned for holding multiple accounts. I banned him as "nado" years ago, and he came back with a new account.
That is all the reason I need for banning him.
But, to be nice, I'll give you a further reason -- his last XX posts have been increasingly adversarial towards me, to the point that no matter WHAT the topic, when I saw that he responded to a thread I was in, I thought to myself "oh boy, here goes..."
And furthermore, with every week I let him stay here, he seemed to be growing ever bolder and more insubordinate. He was making a game out of it, like a troll. It was getting ridiculous.
Let's put it this way: either he was a troll or a masochist (a glutton for punishment). If we are to take him at face value, it's a mystery why he ever "put up with" this forum.
Long story short, his banning was long overdue.
When someone crosses the line (sometimes for the 5th time), I sometimes delete a banned member's "last straw" post, for the sake of removing bad example. I make a judgment call on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes the last post is ridiculous (and thus harmless), but other times it could be incendiary.
Fortunately this forum is run by a human being, rather than a machine, computer program, rule book, etc.
