And it is immediately demonstrated that he has done the exact same thing on a number of other boards.

Once again, WHO CARES? Are you the Cellar Police? Look, I had no fondness for the guy or his writing whatsoever, but I just don't get why everyone immediately flipped out about this whole thing. He didn't introduce himself--so what? He doesn't give us the background behind his stories--again, so what?

Maybe the guy would have been a "problem," maybe not. Nobody here is psychic, are they? UT can do what he wants--it's his board, he works hard for it, and I respect that. But to me (and this is only my humble opinion) it appears he got axed for insulting wolf. At least the timing certainly makes it look that way--he insults wolf at 1:16 am, and six minutes later he is banned.

And I probably better shut up before I have to start posting as "BannedGarnet."
