I'm now asssuming it was the latter. Based on the historical scarcity and spot-on-ness of the banning of posters, I am inclined to think it was well executed.

Ah, I missed that, ok, ban the Daddy...

He was filling threads with content-free posts. I sent him a PM asking him to behave, and he replied nonsensically, in the style of his vapid posts. He hasn't been as big an irritant as some, but he has contributed nothing and was making threads hard to read.

Looks like he either has or had another account at some point, but I banned his known IP addresses and email, so it'll take some work for him to come back and clutter the board again.

Do clocker bob next, or at least ask him to stop bumping his own posts. There are some threads of his which have about 7 replies, 6 of which are him.

when I read Bobs threads that was always my favorite part, I alway pictured him talking to himself in a Dave Mustain voice ala the Sweating Bullets video...

"hello me, Its me meet the real me, in my misfit way of life"

his posts are really funny if you imgain him as Davey Mustain...

Do the Steely Dan fans next.

Rick Reuben's a nice guy, I'm telling you. He shouldn't be banned.

He's also a smart guy, despite some of his paranoid ideas.

c.bob is actually pretty smart, as far as I can tell. he just doesn't play well with others. big deal, you know? his threads have plenty of content and information that people may choose to believe or disbelieve. that's on them, though, not on him.

Agreed.

He's 100% authentic. And I appreciate that. Even if I don't agree with everything he writes.

He is not nice, he is a total and utter dickwad, however I don't think he should be banned and have told the mods as such, I do however truely believe he is mentally ill, and should seek help...
