I agree with the ban, and I was also uncomfortable with the thread name after the initial amusement had faded.

For the record, I also think we should be careful with describing people like Playdor as 'chew toys'. It doesn't do us any favours in the eyes of any impartial observers or fence-sitters. I think the issues with Playdor's understanding and attitude are perfectly displayed in the threads he participates in.

True. I will refrain from further use of such descriptions.

However, that I actually attempted to engage playdor on the merits of his claims, rather than simply attempting to "chew" on him, is also displayed in the threads. The same applies for everyone else, I think. He made claims; they were fairly challenged; he failed to deal with the challenges.

Agreed. Any frustrated outbursts on our part were clearly well earned prior to his banning.

forthethrillofital has been banned for sockpuppety. I'm sure everyone is shocked to learn that he is another incarnation of Fattydash.

I feel like Captain Renault when he discovered there was gambling in Rick's Place.

The reason Captain Renault already knew gambling was taking place, was because he himself had engaged in that activity.

Are you trying to tell us something?

Right. The next line in the movie is, "Your winnings, sir."
